Resident 10 remembered the staff member twisted his right hand. Resident 10 also stated he felt pain on his right hand after the incident. He further stated the staff member, who twisted his right hand, may have suffered pain as well, because of the force the staff member exerted in twisting his hand.

This failure had the potential to expose Residents to food-borne illness. Findings: Potentially Hazardous Foods (PHF's) are those capable of supporting bacterial growth associated with food-borne illness. Cooked PHF's require time/temperature control monitoring during the cool-down process to ensure food safety. PHF's include cooked protein-based items, cooked starches and heat-treated vegetables. The standard of practice would be to ensure PHF's reach a temperature of 135-70 degrees Fahrenheit (F) within two hours and from 70-41 degrees F or below within an additional four hours, a timeframe not to exceed six hours. It would also be the standard of practice that if a food did not reach 70 degrees F within the first two hours, the item must be reheated to an internal temperature of 165 degrees F for 15 seconds, after which the cool-down monitoring would be repeated (Food Code, 2019). Safe cooling requires removing heat from food quickly enough to prevent microbial growth.

During slow cooling, time/temperature control for safety foods are subject to the growth of a variety of pathogenic microorganisms. A longer time near ideal bacterial incubation temperatures, 70-125 degrees F, is to be avoided (USDA Food Code Annex, 2019). In an interview on 7/30/19 at 9 a.m., when asked to describe cool-down procedures for previously cooked foods that were held for future use, Dietary Staff (DS) Q stated items were first cooked to 165 degrees F. Dietary Staff Q further stated the item needed to cool to 140 degrees F within two hours, and within the next four hours the temperature of the item should be 70 degrees F and within an additional four hours (a total of ten hours) to a temperature of 41 degrees F or below. DS Q was verbalizing the procedure while reading the cool-down log. In a concurrent interview, the Dietary Services Supervisor (DSS) stated, "The AM cook will start the process of cool down and the PM cook will finish." In an interview on 7/30/19 at 3:24 p.m., Dietary Staff T stated, "When cooling we'll put the cooked food in an ice bath and has to get down to 40 degrees in six hours, will check every hour." When asked to describe the process, if an item with a beginning temperature of 135 degrees F was 75 degrees after two hours, DS T stated, "Would put more ice in the ice bath and continue to cool and would continue to cool for six hours and if not below 41, would throw away." When asked to describe the process of making tuna salad, DS T stated the item was prepared about once per month. DS T further stated the tuna was placed in the walk-in refrigerator two hours before preparing the tuna.

In a concurrent interview, the DSS stated there was no cool-down monitoring because the items were refrigerated prior to preparation. In a follow-up interview on 7/30/19 at 4 p.m., the DSS stated the expectation was for cooks to be knowledgeable in cool-down monitoring while using the cool down log as a reference. Facility policy titled, "Monitoring Temperatures and Cool Down Log," dated 2018, guided staff to reheat cooked, hot food to 165 degrees F for 15 seconds and start the cooling process again, using a different cooling method when the food was above 70 degrees F, two hours or less into the cooling process, or above 41 degrees F and six hours or less into the cooling process. Additionally, the policy guided staff to discard cooked, hot food immediately when the food was above 70 degrees F and more than two hours into the cooling process, or above 41 degrees F and more than six hours into the cooling process. The policy was not consistent with the standards of practice.
