Food Service Safety and Sanitation Deficiencies
Penalty
Summary
Surveyors observed multiple deficiencies in the facility's food service operations. In the dry storage area, there was no designated area for dented cans. In the walk-in freezer, several food items, including chocolate chip cookie dough, pizza shells, and bacon, were found with their inner plastic bags open and exposed to circulating air. The Food Service Director (FSD) confirmed these findings and reported slipping and falling in the dish room, where bleach got on his clothing. During a follow-up visit, the dish machine was seen draining between cycles, causing water to overflow the open floor drain trough and splash onto the floor, resulting in a soapy, slippery surface up to an inch deep. The grout around the floor tiles in this area was worn away, and water was leaking into a grease trap that was missing a plug. Additionally, during tray-line operation, the FSD slipped on the wet floor, and milk stored in an ice bath was leaking and dripping onto the floor, further contributing to the slipping hazard. All findings were confirmed through interviews with the FSD.
