Summary
Surveyors observed that food items in the facility's dry storage room were not stored and labeled according to professional standards and facility policy. Specifically, a bag of powdered cocoa was found open and not properly sealed, exposing it to room air. Additionally, five bottles of chocolate syrup and eleven cans of tuna did not have received by date labels. During interviews, staff confirmed that all food items should be closed, sealed, and labeled with a received by date, as required by the facility's policy and procedure for food storage, labeling, and dating. These actions and inactions resulted in a failure to maintain food in a sanitary manner.
