DM stated she would immediately throw the bottle of sesame oil out. During an observation on 11/18/19 at 8:30 a.m., an opened bottle of [NAME] cooking wine dated 3/7/19 was kept in the dry storage. During an interview on 11/18/19 at 8:30 a.m., DM stated the 3/7/19 date indicated the bottle was opened on 3/7/19. She stated the bottle should have been discarded on or before six months after it was opened. DM stated the bottle was beyond the discard date and she would immediately throw it out. A record review of the undated policy and procedure titled, LABELING AND DATING OF FOOD indicated all products must be clearly labeled with the date when the product was opened.
