safe and sanitary manner when:1. Muffins with mold (mold is a type of fungus that can grow on food) were
served on breakfast trays, and six residents consumed them.2. Dry goods were improperly stored when
expired cocoa powder was in the storage area, a gravy packet had leaked, chocolate chips were in an open
plastic bag without a date when it was opened.3. Deli meat in a refrigerator was ten days past its use by
date.4. Frozen pancakes and frozen egg rolls did not have a date when they were received.5. Trash cans
were uncovered during tray line (name of process where food was served on resident's plates). This failure
had the potential to cause food-borne illness in 64 of 64 vulnerable residents.Findings:1. During an

moldy muffins were served to residents on [NAME] A's day off.During an interview on 8/26/25 at 4 p.m.,

the muffins during stand-up (a daily meeting where staff discussed significant events). LN C stated the
Director of Nursing (DON) put residents who ate the moldy muffins on a 72-hour alert charting. LN C stated
eating moldy muffins could have had serious effects on an immunocompromised (a condition where the
system to protect the body from infections and other harmful substances was not working as well as it
should) resident, or a resident with gastrointestinal (GI - having to do with the digestive tract) issues.During

charting after eating moldy muffins.During an interview on 8/27/25 at 11:10 a.m., Resident 1 stated he was
served a moldy muffin, and he ate it because he thought the black spots were blueberries. Resident 1

blueberries.During an interview on 8/27/25 at 11:18 a.m., Licensed Nurse D (LN D) stated CNA E reported
mold on the muffins during breakfast service on 8/17/25. LN D and other nursing staff removed the muffins
from the breakfast trays after six residents had already consumed all or part of the moldy muffins. The
muffins were individually wrapped, and it was obvious there was white or black mold on the muffins when
they were unwrapped by the CNAs delivering the breakfast trays.During an interview on 8/27/25 at 11:45
a.m., DA B stated a CNA had reported the moldy muffins on the breakfast trays to [NAME] F who then
