Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve
food in accordance with professional standards.
Based on kitchen food service observations, staff interviews, facility document review, and facility policy
and procedure review, the facility failed to follow proper sanitation and food handling practices to prevent
the outbreak of foodborne illness, with the potential to affect all residents who consumed foods from the
facility. The facility failed to maintain cleanliness and good repair of the walls in the chemical storage closet,
kitchen floors, and baseboards. Live roaches were observed crawling on plastic drink lids and packages of
bread. The facility failed to seal and date mark two open bundles of bread on the bread rack and failed to
clean one of two microwaves located in the north unit nourishment room. Food handling and sanitation is
important in health care settings serving nursing home residents. Unsafe food handling practices represent
a potential source of pathogen exposure.
The findings include:
A tour of the kitchen was conducted on 11/06/23 at 7:25 a.m. During the tour, the kitchen floor tile was
covered with food substance and grime. Floor tiles were cracked around the cook and prep area, in and
around the utility room, and between the drink and ice machine area. Baseboards were cracked, filled with
debris, and pulled away from the wall in the cook and prep area, the dish machine room, the utility room,
and behind the drink machine next to the door entrance from the dining room. A utility cart holding plastic
cups and lids had dark residue around the bottom shelf and a live roach crawling on the plastic container of
lids. The wall panel was pulled away from the wall in the dish machine room and utility room. (Photographic
evidence obtained) No date markings were observed on two open bundles of bread located on the bread
rack in the dry storage room. A live insect was observed crawling in one open bundle of bread, which was
provided to the Certified Dietary Manager (CDM) to discard. Another observation was made again on
11/07/2023 at 9:04 a.m. During this time, new observations of two open bundles of bread were on the
bread rack in the dry storage room with no date marking. (Photographic evidence obtained)
A follow-up tour of the kitchen was conducted on 11/8/23 at 11:30 a.m. New observations of black
substances of unknown origin were spread over the walls and door in the chemical storage closet located
in the dish room next to the utility room. The chemical storage closet floor tile was filled with loose dirt and
debris. Used standing mop water was found sitting in a mop bucket in the utility room. Baseboards were
cracked, filled with debris, and were pulled away from wall behind the drink machine next to the door
entrance from the dining room and cracked and stained floor tiles were observed in the nourishment room
on the north unit. (Photographic evidence obtained)
On 11/08/23 at 11:45 a.m., the microwave in one of two nourishment rooms located on the north unit was
observed to have food debris and black substances of unknown origin resembling biological growth

A review of the facility's policy and procedure entitled Preventing Foodborne Illness - Food Handling (dated

is minimized. Policy and procedure entitled Safety (dated 7/2014), revealed: The kitchen and associated
equipment will be properly maintained and that all Dining Services staff follow safe operating practices. All

cavities and door seals of microwave ovens shall be cleaned at least every 24 hours by using the
manufacturer's recommended cleaning procedure. 4-602.13 Nonfood-Contact Surfaces. Nonfood-Contact
Surfaces of Equipment shall be cleaned at a frequency necessary to preclude accumulation of soil
residues. Annex 5. Conducting Risk-Based Inspections Annex 5 - C. Intervention Strategies for Achieving

https://www.fda.gov/media/164194/download (Accessed on 11/13/2023): Product rotation is important for
both quality and safety reasons. First-In-First Out (FIFO) means that the first batch of product prepared and
placed in storage should be the first one sold or used. Date marking foods as required by the Food Code
facilitates the use of a FIFO procedure in refrigerated, ready-to-eat, TCS foods. The FIFO concept limits the
potential for pathogen growth, encourages product rotation, and documents compliance with
time/temperature requirements.
