F 0804
Ensure food and drink is palatable, attractive, and at a safe and appetizing temperature.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, resident interview, staff interview, food committee review, and review of the policy,
the facility failed to ensure food was served at the preferred temperature. This had the potential to affect all
residents residing at the facility, with the exception of two residents (#33 and #34) who received nothing by
mouth. The facility census was 114.
Residents Affected - Some
Findings include:
Review of food committee minutes dated 01/09/24 at 1:30 P.M., revealed residents expressed concerns
with hot food not being hot enough at times. Kitchen staff were in-service to ensure proper food
temperatures were maintained at the point of service.
Interviews on 02/15/24 between 10:03 A.M. and 10:17 A.M., with Resident #83, #20, #73, and 47 revealed
the food the facility served was not always warm enough.
Observation on 02/15/24 at 12:12 P.M., of the tray line revealed chicken sandwiches, potato salad, and
vegetable soup was being served. Oreo pie was also being served for dessert. Further observation
continued as dietary staff plated the lunch meal from a steam table in the kitchen. As the tray line neared an
end, the surveyor requested a test tray be prepared and placed on the last food cart. Observation was
made as the test tray was prepared, placed on the cart at 1:00 P.M., and transported to the unit where it
arrived at 1:02 P.M. The test tray remained on the cart in view of the surveyor, until all other trays were
distributed to residents. The test tray was removed from the cart at 1:15 P.M. by Dietary Manager #246 who
used a facility thermometer that confirmed the temperatures of the chicken was 124 degrees, the vegetable
soup was 125 degrees, the potato salad was 55 degrees, and the Oreo pie (similar to a cheesecake) was
64 degrees. Dietary Manager #246 verified all temperatures. The chicken sandwich tasted somewhat warm,
the soup broth was only slightly warm to the palate and was not palatable, the potato salad was only
slightly cool which was not appealing, and the pie tasted room temperature which was not palatable.
Interview with Dietary Manager #246 confirmed the pie was similar to a cheesecake and should be below
40 degrees along with the potato salad.
Interview on 02/15/24 at 1:54 P.M., with Resident #47 revealed the temperature of the soup and chicken
was warmer than usual, usually the foods were barely room temperature, the pie was rich and not cold
enough, so she did not eat it.
Review of the undated policy titled, Food Temperatures, revealed all hot foods must be held at a
temperature of at least 140 degrees F, and served at a temperature that is palatable to the resident. All cold
food items must be held at a temperature of 40 degrees F or below and served at a temperature that is
palatable to the resident.
