Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve
food in accordance with professional standards.
Based on observation, record review, interview, and facility policy review the facility failed to prepare and
store food items to prevent contamination and potential food borne illness. This had the potential to affect all
94 residents residing in the facility who consumed food prepared in the facility kitchen, including those with
puree diets: Residents # 57, #50, #59, #70, #41, #1, and #51. There were no residents at the facility unable
to consume food by mouth.
Findings include:
An observation on 05/16/23 at 4:03 P. M. in the kitchen revealed [NAME] #685 was beginning the puree
process using a spatula placed directly on an unclean counter surface. There were obvious crumbs, dried
liquid spots, and debris on the surface where she set the spatula to scrape the sides of the (Robot coupe)
food processor blending breaded chicken strips. [NAME] #685 picked up the spatula from the unclean
counter surface and stirred and scraped the side of the food processor. [NAME] #685 then placed the
spatula down again directly on the unclean surface with a paste of pureed breaded chicken strips on it.
[NAME] #685 ran the food processor again and picked up the spatula and used it second time to stir and
scrape the breaded chicken fingers then put the spatula down on the unclean surface again.
An interview on 05/16/23 at 4:10 P.M. with [NAME] #685 revealed she forgot to put the spatula on a clean
surface and would throw out all the puree breaded chicken fingers.
An interview on 05/16/23 at 4:11 P.M. with Dietary Manager #645 revealed the staff should never put the
spatula down on an unclean surface and then reuse it to stir/scrape food in food processor. DM #645 then
put a sheet of waxed paper down on the surface and two clean spatulas. The pureed breaded chicken
fingers were thrown out and a new puree was started.
An observation on 05/16/21 at 4:15 P.M. in the facility kitchen, Dietary Manager #645 was observed making
peanut butter and jelly sandwiches on white bread. DM #645 then went from making sandwiches to pushing
down the trash in an open garbage can with her bare hands. After pushing down the garbage with her bare
hands without washing her hands or using hand sanitizer, she went back to finishing making the peanut
butter and jelly sandwiches and then stored them for later, grabbing and cleaning off the peanut butter and
jelly jars with and a kitchen towel and placing them back in storage.
An interview on 05/16/23 with the Dietary Manager #645 at 4:17 P.M. revealed she should not have pushed
the trash down with her bare hand and then failed to wash her hands before returning to the food
preparation and storage. DM #645 stated she usually washes her hands all the time.
