Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to implement its policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Labeling and Dating of Foods, and Refrigerated Storage Guide, by failing to ensure: 1. A box of orange-colored, shredded cheese was labeled with an open date, a use by date or expiration date, and labeled with what kind of cheese was in the box.2. A box of Parmesan cheese was labeled with an open date and a use by date or expiration date.3. A plastic bag which contained three (3) blocks of orange-colored cheese was labeled with a use by date or expiration date. These failures had the potential to result in food borne illnesses (any illness resulting from eating contaminated/spoiled foods) for all residents in the facility who received food from the facility kitchen. Findings: During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/31/2025 at 10:59 AM with the Dietary Supervisor (DS) inside the kitchen walk-in refrigerator, the following were observed inside the walk-in refrigerator:a) A plastic box full of orange-colored, shredded cheese labeled with a date of 12/30/25 and labeled cheese. The label with 12/30/25 on it did not indicate what the date meant. The box also did not indicate what kind of cheese was in the box.b) A plastic box of white, powdered cheese labeled with a date 11/27/25 and labeled Parmesan cheese. The label with 11/27/25 on it did not indicate what the date meant.c) A plastic bag which contained three blocks of orange-colored cheese labeled with delivered date (DD) of 12/24/25 and opened date (OP) of 12/25/25 on the plastic bag. The plastic bag did not have a use by date or expiration date on it. During an interview on 12/31/2025 at 10:59 AM, the DS stated that foods in the kitchen should be labeled with use by date or expiration date to ensure expired foods were not used. DS stated all expired food should be discarded immediately. DS stated not labeling foods with the expiration date or use by date had the potential for using the expired food and could cause foodborne illness for residents who consumed it. During an interview on 12/31/2025 at 11:25 AM with Dietary Aid (DA) 2, DA 2 stated it was important to label food with expiration date and use by date, so they would know when the food could be used by. DA 2 stated they should discard the expired food immediately to prevent food contamination. During an interview on 1/6/2026 at 1:09 PM with the administrator (ADM), the ADM stated the kitchen staff should ensure all food was labeled with use by date and prevent using expired food. The ADM stated it is important to follow these practices to prevent using the expired food and cause food contamination and food borne illnesses that can affect residents' health. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Labeling and Dating of Foods, dated 2023, indicated that all food items in the storeroom, refrigerator, freezer need to be labeled and dated based on established procedures for either food safety or product rotation (FIFO- First In - First Out). The P&P indicated, the Use By date will be the absolute date in which the food must be consumed or discarded by the facility. The P&P indicated, some cultured dairy products shall be discarded following the manufacturer expiration date or seven days after opening whichever comes first. The P&P indicated that for foods that are commercially processed, ready to eat, and intended to be stored cold greater than 24 hours will be marked with a Use By date. During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Refrigerated Storage Guide, dated 2023, indicated that cottage cheese, cream cheese, and soft cheese should be discarded by following expiration date or 7 days after opening, whichever comes first. The P&P indicated that hard cheese, processed cheese and loaf cheese are good for 6 months after being produced. Event ID: Facility ID: 055141 If continuation sheet Page 6 of 6
