- The handwashing sink located in the food preparation area was on the floor. There were three holes
penetrating the wall, surrounded by wrinkled paper-like outer wall material and exposed dry, chalklike
material. An uncapped white plastic accordion style drainpipe extended from the wall. The Certified Dietary

two weeks. The CDM said the sink in the dishwashing area was available for staff. The sink in the
dishwashing area was blocked by a dish rack cart, the paper towel dispenser was empty, and a trash can
was not beside the sink. Pieces of food partially blocked the flow of water in the sink.

ice storage bin and on three sides of the exterior surface. Mineral-like material was on the floor below the
ice machine. The CDM said the ice machine vendor routinely cleans the ice machine.
- The kitchen lighting was inadequate and there were five separate florescent ceiling lights not luminating.

floor. The grate cover of the drain was on the floor approximately 8 inches from the drain.

the tip of the blade. The CDM said a replacement opener was requested.
- In the walk-in refrigerator and freezer, there was a used glove laying on the top shelf of a plastic cart,
prepackaged food containers and trash lying on the floor, an open beverage can, and a carton of chocolate
milk. The floors were covered with a thick layer of black, grey, and brown substance. The CDM said the
kitchen cleaning checklist included cleaning the refrigerator and freezer.
