Summary
The facility failed to store food in accordance with professional standards and did not maintain a sanitary kitchen environment. During observation, four packages of cream of wheat with expiration dates that had already passed were found in dry storage, and a food service staff member confirmed that these items were expired. Additionally, melted plastic was observed on the wall behind the toaster, which the food service worker stated had been present for about a year. In a room containing two large freezers, hats were found hanging from pipes on the ceiling, coats were hung on the wall, and a dirty mop bucket with mop water was on the floor. The food service staff member confirmed that these storage practices were typical for the area.
