Summary

The facility failed to follow its established menu and portion control procedures when a staff member did not level the number 8 scoop while serving egg noodles, resulting in portions larger than the standardized 1/2 cup specified in the recipe and menu. This was directly observed during trayline service, where the scoop was overflowing, and confirmed by the Dietary Supervisor, who acknowledged that the scoop should have been leveled. The facility's policies and procedures require adherence to standardized recipes and portion sizes to meet residents' nutritional needs and therapeutic diet requirements. This failure affected 64 out of 69 residents who received egg noodles, including 16 out of 20 residents on a consistent carbohydrate (CCHO) diet, which requires precise carbohydrate control for blood sugar management. The incident was documented through observation, staff interview, and review of facility records, including menus, recipes, and policies, all of which specified the correct portion size and the need for accuracy in food preparation and service.
