and nutrition services, it was determined that foods were not prepared and served by methods to conserve
nutritive value, flavor and appearance. ( Residents R1, R2 and R3)
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Review of the policy titled Food and Beverage Serving Temperature Requirements dated February 14,
2022, revealed that it was the responsibility of the food and nutrition services department to serve foods
and beverages to the residents that were palatable, attractive and at safe and appetizing temperatures. The
policy also indicated that serving temperatures for hot foods were 140 degrees Fahrenheit and cold foods
40 degrees Fahrenheit. This policy also indicated that the minimum holding temperatures for hot foods was
135 degrees Fahrenheit and the minimum holding temperature for cold foods was 41 degrees Fahrenheit.
Interviews with Residents R1, R2 and R3 at 11:00 a.m., on April 10, 2024 revealed that hot foods were not
being served hot. The residents reported that food items taste cold and unflavored, at point of service.
These alert and oriented residents usually eat in their rooms for meals.
A temperature test tray evaluation was completed on the three south nursing unit during the noon meal
service. Fried breaded fish was served unappetizing dry, over cooked and cold. This hot food item was
tested at 110 degrees Fahrenheit. Hush puppies, a breaded cheese balls were hard and over-cooked. This
hot food item tested at 103 degrees Fahrenheit. Coffee, a hot beverage tested at 126 degrees Fahrenheit.
[NAME] slaw a cold food item tested at 63 degrees Fahrenheit. The portion size of the [NAME] slaw was
small and served in a two ounce plastic container; instead of regular tableware. The cole slaw was served
along side the heated foods which contributed to the warm not cold cole slaw temperature. The
temperatures, food flavor and appearance were confirmed with the Director of Dietary Services, Employee
E5 during the noon meal service for the residents on the three south nursing unit on April 10, 2024.
A review of the hot food holding temperatures, as recorded by the dietary staff on April 10, 2024 revealed
that hot food items were being held between 165 and 180 degrees Fahrenheit. The hot and prolonged
holding temperatures on the steam table added to the decreased nutritive value, unflavored and
unacceptable appearance of the foods at point of service for the residents.

their rooms, on the three south nursing unit revealed that a full thermal heating system was not available for
