This had the potential to affect all 85 residents residing in the facility. All residents were identified as receiving meals from the kitchen. Findings include: Observations of the walk in freezer on 01/21/25 at 8:18 A.M. revealed several undated/unlabeled items which were later identified by Dietary [NAME] #205 as follows: four bags of hash browns removed from their original packaging and now stored in a two-gallon plastic storage bags, a bag of tater tots removed from their original packaging which had been opened and were now stored in a two-gallon plastic storage bag, one bag of chicken tenders removed from their original packaging and now stored in a two-gallon plastic storage bag, three bags of frozen drumsticks removed from their original packaging and now stored in two-gallon plastic storage bags, five bags of Hawaiian rolls and two of which had been previously opened, one previously opened bag of cinnamon rolls which were stuck together and now stored in a two gallon plastic storage bag, one pan of lasagna that had been removed from its original packaging and now stored in a two-gallon plastic storage bag, and one two-gallon bag of hot dogs that had been previously opened and were stuck together and had ice crystals on them. Interview with Dietary [NAME] #205 on 01/21/25 at 8:27 A.M. confirmed the presence of the above listed unlabeled and undated items which had either been previously opened, removed from their original packaging without labels and dates, and/or had evidence of being re-frozen or stuck together. Review of the facility policy titled Sanitation and Food Safety: Labeling and Dating revised in January 2025 revealed that all food items in the freezers must be clearly labeled and dated to ensure food safety and quality. This included leftovers, opened foods and sealed packages removed from their original shipping box/case. All food items must be labeled with the date that they were received or opened. Sealed packages removed from their original shipping box/case must be labeled with the date that they were received. When food was transferred to a zip top bag or sealed container, the new container must be labeled with the date the food was opened or transferred.
