bacon in a clear storage bag with an open date of 3/17/25, but no use by date. The CDM identified the food
as, Vegan bacon, and stated the staff should have kept the original package label to determine the
expiration date. She proceeded to remove the vegan bacon strips. Observations of the right side of the
walk-in cooler revealed a box of two large lettuce heads with leaves that were separated. The separated
leaves had areas that were yellow, brown, and black in color. She proceeded to remove the separated
lettuce leaves, while the other two lettuce heads were left in the box. Further observations of the right side

include labeling and dating.
On 3/24/25 at 10:11 a.m., an observation of the reach-in refrigerator, identified as #2, was conducted with
the CDM. Observations of reach-in #2 revealed a shallow pan containing lemons and limes that had
multiple gray and black spots. The CDM was observed removing the pan with the lemons and limes. Further

observation of the refrigerator revealed a food item with a resident's name, but no date or other labeling.
The DON could not confirm how long the food had been there. An observation of the freezer revealed two
individual ice cream packages. The DON confirmed the ice cream was not provided by the facility. The DON
confirmed the two ice cream items did not have a resident's name.
On 3/25/25 at 12:48 p.m., an interview was conducted with the facility's Kitchen Manager. The Kitchen
Manager stated the pliers observed on 3/24/25 on the dish machine base were potentially there since last
week. He stated the dish machine pipe was being fixed by maintenance last week and the maintenance
staff member was using those pliers. Regarding observations of the top part of the dish machine, he stated
it's part of the cleaning schedule. He stated the staff member that used the dish machine is responsible for
cleaning that area and, It should have been cleaned. Regarding the dish machine hood, the Kitchen
