Interview on 04/10/24 during kitchen observation between 1:06 P.M. and 1:15 P.M. with Regional Dietary #374 revealed food allergies were loaded into the tray ticket system, and food allergies were indicated on the tray tickets. Periodically the food service manager would cross-reference the food allergies listed in the electronic medical record to ensure the two matched. Interview on 04/10/24 at 1:15 P.M. with Dietary [NAME] #376 confirmed the tray tickets were how dietary staff knew of a food allergy. Observation of Resident #15's lunch tray ticket for 04/10/24 and cheese allergy notation in the electronic medical record and interview on 04/11/24 at 9:29 A.M. with the Administrator, Regional Nurse #373, and Regional Dietary #374 confirmed Resident #15's food allergy to cheese was not listed on his tray card as it should be, and staff would have no idea Resident #15 was allergic to cheese. Review of the manufacturer box of Basic American Foods Au Gratin Potatoes Reduced Sodium (the au gratin potatoes which were served the previous day for lunch) with Regional Dietary # 374 revealed cheddar cheese was listed in the ingredient list and interview on 04/11/24 at 9:50 A.M. with Regional Dietary #374 confirmed au gratin potatoes should not have been served to a resident with a cheese allergy. Review of facility policy Food Allergies and Intolerances, revised October 2008, revealed residents with food allergies and/or intolerances will be identified upon admission and steps will be taken to prevent resident exposure to the allergen(s). This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00152203.
