This failure could place residents at risk for food contamination and foodborne illness.
Findings included: Observation on 08/28/2024 at 10:58 AM of the kitchen's steamtable revealed six compartments total, but the first and sixth from the left were not being used and had no water in them. [NAME] A placed hamburger steaks and gravy in the second compartment from the left side that had a few inches of dark brown tinted water in it as well as burnt food particles floating in it. [NAME] A placed pinto beans, pureed pinto beans, and pureed cabbage in the third compartment from the left side that also had a few inches of dark brown tinted water in it. [NAME] A placed cooked cabbage in the fourth compartment from the left that had lots of food particles in it and the water was a yellow or brown tinted color.
