Unsanitary Kitchen Conditions Due to Roach Infestation
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain a sanitary environment in the kitchen, as evidenced by multiple observations of live and dead roaches, roach egg cases, and roach excrement in various kitchen and pantry areas. During inspections by the Department of Health, live roaches were found in the multi-function oven, floor stand mixer, Cambro unit, behind the reach-in cooler, dishwashing area, tilt skillet, wall behind the tilt skillet, 2-burner pot stove, and inside a paper towel dispenser. Additional findings included live and dead roaches, as well as roach excrement, in the pantry on the 400 unit, specifically on counters, in cabinets containing tubing and supplies, and under the sink. The facility's administrator was made aware of these concerns and acknowledged them during the inspection process. The Department of Health inspector confirmed the unsanitary conditions in the main kitchen as documented in his report.
