Summary
Surveyors observed that dietary staff in the kitchen failed to wear required hair restraints while in the food preparation area, as both a cook and a dietary aide were not wearing hair coverings at the time of inspection. Additionally, a review of the kitchen cooler revealed multiple food items, including a pan of hamburgers in broth, a bucket of meatballs, and a pan of hamloaf, that were undated and unmarked. The dietary supervisor confirmed these observations. Facility policies reviewed indicated that proper labeling and dating of food, as well as the use of hair restraints, are required for food safety and sanitation.
