Summary
During a tour of the facility's kitchen, surveyors observed five cups of an orange-colored frozen substance stored in the walk-in freezer without any labels or dates to identify the contents or indicate when they were prepared or should be used by. The Dietary Supervisor was unable to confirm whether the cups contained ice cream or sorbet and did not know when they had been prepared. Both the cups and the tray they were placed on lacked any labeling or use-by dates. Review of the facility's policies confirmed that all food items, including leftovers, are required to be labeled and dated when stored in the storeroom, refrigerator, or freezer.
