Improper Food Storage and Unsanitary Kitchen Conditions
Penalty
Summary
Surveyors observed multiple deficiencies in the main kitchen, including a container of mashed potatoes and a container of food thickener that were both left uncovered, with the thickener also lacking a label and date. Additional findings included dried food and brown debris on a food slicer, dried food and debris on a roucoup, food debris in a steamer, food debris on the bottom storage shelving of the steam table, and brown debris on the wall and ceiling beside the clean side of the dishwasher. During an interview, the Dietary Manager confirmed that these conditions represented failures in proper food storage and maintaining sanitary conditions, creating the potential for cross contamination. No information about specific residents or their medical conditions was provided in the report.
