Summary
The facility failed to properly date and store food products in the main kitchen, as observed during a survey. Specifically, surveyors found that turkey breast lunch meat, ham lunch meat, provolone sliced cheese, and Swiss sliced cheese in a refrigerator/cooler by the tray line were open and lacked an open date. Additionally, in the dry storage room, four bags of open pasta and one container of graham cracker crumbs were found open and without an open date. These findings were in direct violation of the facility's food safety program and standard operating procedures, which require all food to be properly wrapped, labeled, and dated. The deficiency was communicated to the Nursing Home Administrator during the exit interview.
