Findings include: Observation on 09/25/19 at 11:25 A.M., revealed [NAME] #400 preparing pureed textured foods in the facility kitchen. [NAME] #400 explained the recipe for pureed textured foods had a minimal serving size of 25 servings, and since the facility had less than 25 residents on pureed diets they would recalculate the recipe to make it for 15 servings. [NAME] #400 asked Dietary Manager #290 to recalculate a recipe for pureed bread to make 15 servings instead of 25. Dietary Manager #290 presented [NAME] #400 with a revised recipe to aide in making pureed bread for the lunch meal. Review of an undated pureed bread recipe number 157 revealed the recipe was set up for serving sizes of 25, 50, 75, 100, and 150 and ingredients including pureed bread mix, hot water, and low-sodium chicken base. Review of the undated, unnamed and revised recipe given to [NAME] #400 revealed an example for ingredients in black and white cookies for eight, sixteen, forty, eighty, and 120 servings with ingredients of flour, baking powder, salt, and milk. The recipe did not address ingredients for pureed bread or the quantity of the ingredients needed. Further observation on 09/25/19 at 11:30 A.M., revealed [NAME] #400 removed slices of bread from the steamer and placed them in the food processor mixing it with an undetermined amount of hot water, melted butter, and chicken broth. After all food items were blended together, [NAME] #400 used a spatula to scrap the pureed bread from the food processor into a metal holding pan at which time the consistency of the pureed bread was very thin in an almost liquid form. Interview 09/25/19 at 11:40 A.M., with [NAME] #400 stated she would place the pureed bread back in the steamer and it would thicken up. Observation on 09/25/19 at 12:08 P.M., revealed [NAME] #560 serving residents meals from the steam table in the main dining room. Further observation revealed [NAME] #560 scoop pureed bread from the steam table and place it on plates. The consistency of the pureed bread was very runny and did not require [NAME] #560 to use the clicker on the side of the scoop. When [NAME] #560 placed the scoop into the pureed bread and lifted the scoop, pureed bread mixture was dripping off the scoop, and when the pureed bread was plated it did not hold a form and ran on the plate into other food items. Interview on 09/25/19 at 12:30 P.M., with [NAME] #560 and Dietary Manager #290 stated the pureed bread was too runny and should have been more formed. Dietary Manager #290 stated he did not observe the pureed bread after [NAME] #400 prepared it. The facility identified nine (#8, #16, #21, #22, #23, #29, #34, #38, and #44) residents with orders for pureed diets who were served food in the main and restorative dining rooms on 09/25/19 between
