Continued from LIC9099... Interview with Administrator indicated that they check the kitchen daily to ensure kitchen staff are following food service regulations. Photos submitted show food as being properly dated and labeled. However, photo submitted of a tub of hot peppers show they had molded. Accompanying message claimed they had been discarded upon discovery of mold and had not been served to residents. LPA visit on 6/27/2025 for Complaint 21-AS-20250619110058 and subsequent interview with Administrator indicated that facility ensures clean food by maintaining backups of equipment in case repair or replacement is necessary, and all food service staff receive regular in-service training as well as third-party training to ensure knowledge on food safety protocols. Based upon observations, interviews, and record review the department has found that although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore, the allegations/complaint are UNSUBSTANTIATED. No deficiencies cited. Exit interview conducted with Administrator, whose signature on form confirms receipt.
