Improper Food Labeling and Storage in Kitchen
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to properly label and date leftover food items stored in the walk-in refrigerator, and did not maintain cleanliness in the food storage area. During an initial kitchen tour, it was observed that several food items were either past their use-by dates or lacked proper labeling and dating. Specifically, a resealable bag of prepared biscuits and hamburger patties were found with expired use-by dates, while a gallon of whole milk and bags of whipped cream were not labeled or dated at all. Additionally, a plastic container of coleslaw was leaking onto a shelf, staining the boxes below. The Dietary Manager acknowledged that the kitchen staff had been previously trained on proper labeling and storage, but attributed the oversight to being rushed and short-staffed after breakfast service.
