Failure to Document Food Holding Temperatures at Time of Service
Penalty
Summary
Surveyors found that the facility failed to document food holding temperatures at the time of service in the main kitchen. On review of the facility’s food temperature log at 12:15 p.m. on 3/4/26, there was no documented evidence that temperatures were obtained during service for breakfast and lunch to verify that food was maintained at safe internal temperatures. During this review period, the Dietary Manager (Employee E7) confirmed that there were no recorded temperatures for breakfast or lunch and acknowledged that these temperatures should have been recorded. The deficiency was cited under 28 Pa. Code 201.14(a) regarding the responsibility of the licensee and 28 Pa. Code 201.18(b)(3) regarding management, based on the lack of required temperature documentation for meals served from the main kitchen.
