Summary
The facility failed to properly store food products in the main kitchen's walk-in cooler and freezer, as observed during a survey. Specifically, an opened jar of grape jelly was found undated in the walk-in cooler, and multiple boxes of food items were stored up to the ceiling on top shelves and under fans in the freezer. These practices did not comply with the facility's policy, which requires all refrigerated and frozen foods to be covered, labeled, dated, and stored to allow adequate air circulation. The Dietary Manager confirmed these storage issues and acknowledged that the facility did not maintain sanitary conditions in the main kitchen.
