Deficient Food Storage and Temperature Monitoring
Penalty
Summary
Surveyors identified multiple failures in food storage, monitoring, and service during kitchen inspections. Temperature logs for all seven refrigerators were found to be incomplete for two consecutive shifts. In the walk-in freezer, nine large tubs of ice cream were observed stored directly on the floor. Additionally, in the walk-in refrigerator, two containers of salad dressing were labeled only with handwritten dates on the lids, lacking any expiration or use-by dates. During a follow-up visit, cold food items at the deli holding station and its refrigerator were found to be stored above the required 41°F, with temperatures ranging from 41.7°F to 44.0°F for various items including cheese, hard-boiled eggs, turkey, and hot dogs. These findings were confirmed through direct observation and temperature checks with facility staff.
