Interview on 7/24/24 at 2:38 pm the Food Service Manager said [NAME] A had dropped a package of cans
on Monday 7/22/24 when they received the groceries. [NAME] A was responsible for checking the cans for
dents and staff were supposed to go behind her to double check for dented cans. She said the risk to the
residents was food poisoning. The Food Service Manager said the kitchen staff knew not to store scoops
and measuring cups inside the bins for dry bulk foods. She said one of the cooks forgot to take the scoop
out of the flour and biscuit mix. The Food Service Manager said the measuring cups and scoops should be

been checking the containers. She said the risk to residents from cross-contamination could also lead to
food born illness and residents could get sick from cross-contamination.
