F 0812 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve food in accordance with professional standards. Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined that the facility failed to store, prepare, distribute, and served food in accordance with professional standards for food service safety, that included holding perishable foods at the regulatory temperature of 41 degrees F below or 135 degrees F or above. The findings included: 1) During the initial kitchen/food service sanitation tour conducted on 11/15/21 at 9 AM , accompanied with the Food Service Director, it was noted that numerous containers (40 - 1/8 steam table pans) of prepared foods were sitting out on a preparation table at room temperature.
