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 the facility failed to maintain adequate levels of quaternary sanitizer used to sanitize food contact surfaces and stationary equipment. This has the potential to affect all 25 residents living in the facility. The Findings Include: On 9/6/22 at 9:30 AM, during the initial tour of the kitchen it was observed that there was a bucket of sanitizing solution setting in the sink with a rag in it. V3 (Cook) stated that this is a quaternary ammonium solution that is used to wipe down surfaces and stationary equipment. V3 checked the solution for the sanitizer level in the bucket with a hydrion test strip to detect quaternary levels. V3 stated the level was below manufacturer suggested level of 200 PPM (parts per million) likely due to being setting out for a few hours. V3 stated at this time she would dump out this bucket of solution and make a new one. On 9/7/22 at 11:15 AM, V3 checked the sanitizer level in the bucket used for sanitizing stationary surfaces and again it was found to be below suggested the manufacturer recommendations of 200 PPM for Quaternary Ammonium and a new solution was made using the dispenser and the level was within recommended level. The resident census and conditions of residents dated 9/6/22 documents 25 residents residing in the facility.
