Based on observation, staff interview, review of manufacturer's instructions and policy review, the facility failed to ensure the dishwashing machine maintained the proper chemical sanitizing level to sanitize dishes; and failed to store foods in a safe and sanitary manner. This had the potential to affect all residents who received food from the kitchen. The facility identified all 43 residents received food from the kitchen. The facility census was 43.
Findings include: Observation on 05/28/19 at 8:48 A.M. of the low temperature dishwasher revealed the sanitization level test strip showed no sanitizer was found in the rinse cycle of the dishwasher. The bottle of sanitizer connected below the dishwasher was empty. Interview on 05/28/19 at 8:50 A.M. with Dietary Staff #101 verified the sanitizer bottle was empty and the test strip was white which indicated no sanitizer was present in the rinse cycle of the dishwasher. Interview on 05/28/19 at 8:52 A.M. with Dietary Staff #101 revealed no rinse sanitizer solution was available to replace the empty bottle. Dietary Staff #101 reported all the dishes would be washed or rewashed in the three sink system to ensure sanitation. Dietary Staff #101 was not able to say how long the dishwasher sanitizing solution had been empty. The dishwasher stick log posted on the wall revealed the most recent test strip was completed on 05/07/19 and the sanitation level was appropriate at 50 parts per million of chlorine. Observation on 05/28/19 at 9:00 A.M. of the kitchen revealed a four pound jar of concord grape jelly, partially used, and being stored at room temperature in the preparation area. Visible on the label was refrigerate after opening. In addition, a dented can of mandarin oranges which had it's seal compromised was found in the walk-in cooler in line to be used. Interview on 05/28/19 at 9:01 A.M. With Dietary Staff #101 verified the grape jelly was kept at room temperature and should have been kept in the refrigerator. Dietary Staff #101 also verified the can of mandarin oranges was dented with the seal compromised. Dietary Staff #101 reported the dented can should have been removed from use and set aside to be returned to the supplier for credit. Observation on 05/28/19 at 11:05 A.M. of the kitchen revealed the rinse cycle sanitation solution was replaced. Coinciding interview with Dietary Manager #200 revealed the new bottle was added and the previous dishes were washed in the three sink system. Dietary Manager #200 tested the rinse solution and found the test strip was still clear indicating there was no rinse sanitizing solution running through the dishwasher. Dietary Manager #200 verified there was no sanitizing solution running through the dishwasher. Dietary Manager #200 stated she would inform maintenance for assistance with repairing the dishwashing machine. Interview on 05/28/19 at 11:40 A.M. with Dietary Manager #200 revealed maintenance looked at the dishwasher and the rinse sanitizing solution needed to be primed after it was replaced. Coinciding observation of the test strip revealed the test strip turned purple indicating the sanitizing solution was up to the proper level of 50 ppm.

Interview on 05/29/19 at 12:15 P.M. with Dietary Manager #200 revealed there was no facility policy for checking the dishwasher sanitation levels. Dietary Manager #200 revealed they followed the manufactures instructions for proper sanitation. Review of the manufacturer's instructions for the American Dish Service Upright Dishwashers revealed all machines required detergent and sanitizer for proper operation. Sanitizer should be 6% solution of sodium hypochlorite. The initial setting was five cubic centimeter (cc) and this was to be checked regularly with a chlorine test kit. Free chlorine in the final rinse was to be 50 ppm or more. Review of the facility policy titled Food Storage, dated 2017, revealed refrigerated foods should be stored upon delivery and careful rotation procedures should be followed.
