degrees F. The Administrator verified the water temperatures. Observation on 08/18/25 from 12:31 P.M.
through 12:50 P.M. revealed [NAME] #220 prepared the three-compartment sink to wash dishes. The first
sink held water poured from a 33 gallon pan that had boiling water from the stove. [NAME] #220 poured pot
and pan detergent directly from a one-gallon jug into the water in the first sink, without measuring the
amount. The second sink contained plain hot water for rinsing. The third sink had cold water. [NAME] #220
proceeded to pour just under one-half of a full gallon sized jug of sanitizer into the water in the third sink.
Further observation revealed [NAME] #220 tested the sanitation level in the third sink and the test strip read
400 parts per million (ppm), which was a dark blue color on the test strip. [NAME] #220 verified there was
too much sanitizer in the water, noting the color on the test strip should be more of a green color, and
stated he had no measuring devices to ensure appropriate chemicals were used to ensure safe sanitation
of the dishes. Interview on 08/22/25 at 3:50 P.M. with Dietary Manager (DM) #944 revealed the hot water in
the kitchen went out approximately one month ago. DM #944 stated the device to measure the chemical
solutions for the three-compartment sink had been broken for a long time and staff did not have a way to
measure cleaning or sanitation solutions to ensure safe and effective cleaning of the dishes. DM #944
confirmed dietary staff washed dishes in the three-compartment sink since the kitchen had no hot water to
use the dishwasher. This deficiency represents noncompliance investigated under Master Complaint
Number 2589044.
