In the produce refrigerator:
11. A medium sized silver bin of mashed potatoes, not labeled or dated.
12. A medium sized silver bin of green beans, not labeled or dated.
13. A small silver bin of watermelon, not labeled or dated.
14. A small silver bin of mashed potatoes, not labeled or dated.
15. An opened large bag of mixed greens- not sealed, not dated, and not labeled and browning/wilted.
16. A bag of pureed bacon mix not sealed with ingredients open to air, and outside of bag is sticky.
In the freezer:
17. A large opened plastic bag of 20+ frozen hot dogs dated 1/12/24, not sealed with a large build-up of
freezer burn on meat.
18. A large resealable bag of 15+ sausages dated 1/27/24 with a large amount of freezer burn build-up on
meat.
V6 (Executive Chef) said the freezer burn could have happened from the staff putting the meat in the
freezer when they were still warm.
For the duration of the kitchen tour, V5's (Director of Food and Nutrition) hair net was not worn
appropriately to restrain her hair. V5's bangs were exposed, and the hair net was only restraining the hair
on her head from the top middle of her head and back down to the top of her neck. The top front of V5's hair
was not restrained.
On 2/14/24 at 11:41 AM, V4 (Dietician) said all food items in the kitchen should be labeled and dated so
foods can be rotated and outdated foods discarded. V4 said expired foods should be discarded to prevent
foodborne illness of residents, especially because the age group that the facility serves is vulnerable. V4
said all opened items need to be sealed/wrapped well and dated with an opened date and expiration date.
V4 said sealing opened food items is important to conserve freshness/quality and prevent contamination
from pests. V4 said all canned items should be inspected upon delivery and dented cans should be
removed from circulation. V4 said dented cans should be put in designated dented can area and returned
to supplier. V4 said the risk with serving food from a dented can is bacteria growth, spoiled food, and
contamination. V4 said all freezer burned food items should be discarded right away because that food item
has been damaged by the freezer and would be a risk to serve. V4 said while wearing a hairnet, all hair
needs to be restrained, including bangs, because that hair
