Summary
The facility failed to store food in accordance with professional standards for food service safety in the freezer area. During an observation in the freezer, a bag of frozen burgers and frozen chicken patties were found opened and undated. Facility policy requires that leftover food be stored in covered containers or wrapped securely, with each item clearly labeled and dated before refrigeration. An interview with a staff member confirmed that all items should be labeled and dated, but this was not done for the items observed.
