Summary
Surveyors observed that the facility failed to properly label and date refrigerated food items, including a bag of sliced cheddar cheese, a bag of bologna, and a container of coleslaw, as required by facility policy. The Dietary Manager confirmed these items were unlabeled and undated. Additionally, a staff member was seen pureeing a lunch meal while wearing thick nail polish, wiping her hands on her pants, and scratching her face after washing her hands, all during food preparation. The staff member acknowledged having nail polish on and touching her pants and face during food service. Facility policies and FDA guidelines require proper hand hygiene and prohibit the use of nail polish when handling exposed food unless gloves are worn.
