Residents Affected - Many
Findings include: Observation on 03/28/24 at 11:39 A.M. of Dietary [NAME] #308 taking the temperatures of the lunch meal items prior to food service revealed the chicken tenders were 173 degrees Fahrenheit (F), the [NAME] fries were 165 degrees F, the carrots were 162.1 degrees F, the white slice of bread was room temperature, and the chocolate cake was room temperature. Tray service for hall trays began on 03/28/24 at 11:50 A.M. As the kitchen staff started to load the last tray cart for the third floor at 12:03 P.M., the surveyor asked for a test tray at 12:08 P.M. as the last tray cart for the third floor was three fourths of the way full. A test try was plated at 12:17 P.M. and was placed on top of the steam table wells without a lid while four other uncovered resident trays were plated and sitting on the table next to the steam table while staff waited for Dietary Manager (DM) #307 to bring up a new box of dome lids, which were stored in the basement, and for the new lids to be washed. A dome lid was placed on the test tray and the four other residents' plates and placed into the covered cart at 12:20 P.M. The food cart was taken up to the third floor by DM #307 and arrived at 12:23 P.M. After the last tray was passed at 12:34 P.M., the test tray was removed from the food cart and was taken to the nurse's station counter with the surveyor and DM #307. DM #307 checked the temperatures of the food as the surveyor tasted the food for temperature and palatability. The chicken tenders had a temperature of 116.8 degrees F, had a good flavor, were moist, but tasted lukewarm. The [NAME] fries had a temperature of 115 degrees F, had a good flavor, were moist, but tasted lukewarm. The carrots had a temperature of 117 degrees F, had a good flavor, but tasted lukewarm at 116.8 degrees F. Milk was 51.4 degrees F and tasted warm. Chocolate cake was room temperature, had a good temperature, and was moist. [NAME] bread was room temperature and was palatable without signs of dryness or mold. DM #307 tasted the food and drank the milk and confirmed the food had a good taste but could have been warmer and the milk should have been colder. She stated waiting for the dome lids to be brought up and washed negatively affected the temperature of the food items since the food had already been plated, and the milk was iced but the ice bath should have had salt added to it to help bring down the temperature.

Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve food in accordance with professional standards. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interviews, and review of facility policy, the facility failed to ensure the kitchen was clean and sanitary, food items were appropriately dated, and coffee was covered as required when walking down the third-floor hallways. This had the potential to affect 40 residents who received food from the kitchen. The facility identified two residents (#30 and #32) as receiving no food from the kitchen. The facility census was 42.
Findings include: 1. Observation and interview during initial kitchen tour on 03/28/24 from 11:15 A.M. to 11:39 A.M. with Dietary Manager (DM) # 307 revealed the following concerns: • On the bread rack was a one gallon unlabeled and undated storage bag full of Danishes.

DM #307 stated normal policy was to throw out items after three to seven days. • In the two-door reach in cooler on the left-hand side second shelf, there was a white eight-pound round plastic lidded container of fruit salad with a hand written open date of 03/05/24 and a printed manufacturer best before date of 03/14/24. When the lid was opened, there was a fermented smell coming from the fruit. DM #307 at the time of observation confirmed the fermented smell and stated the fruit should have been thrown out. • In the dry storage area under a metal shelving unit, there was a white powdered substance on the floor along with two pink sugar substitute packets and two yellow sugar substitute packets.
