F 0812 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Observation and interview on 03/26/2025 at 11:06 a.m., of the walk-in freezer revealed a sealed storage bag of unknown food item on a storage rack. The Dietary Staff I said the food item in the storage bag was some type of beef that was removed from the original package. The storage bag was not labeled. The Dietary Staff I said that the bag should have been labeled and was not properly stored in the freezer as it was out of the original package. Residents Affected - Many Observation and interview on 03/26/2025 at 11:08 a.m., observed a food service staff member at a prep station with an open bag of shredded lettuce. The lettuce observed with brownish and yellowish lettuce. The food service staff member said he was going to use the lettuce to make a Caesar salad for a resident. The Dietary Staff I told the food service staff member not to use the lettuce as it appeared brownish. The Dietary Staff I took the bag of lettuce and threw out the lettuce. Observation on 03/26/2025 at 11:10 a.m., revealed the dishwashing and sanitization machine was dirty with dried caked on white substance on top of the machine and streaking down the front of the machine. Observation and interview on 03/26/2025 at 11:10 a.m., revealed in the kitchen prep area, dried yellowish splatter against the wall and ceiling. The Dietary Staff I said that the splatter occurred during the evening shift on 03/24/2025 when another kitchen staff member used the blender, and something went wrong and caused the splatter all over the area. The Dietary Staff I said that the kitchen prep table was cleaned but the wall and ceiling was not cleaned resulting in the pureed food drying up. Observation on 03/26/2025 at 11:15 a.m., revealed ceiling vents over food prep areas were dirty with dark dust on and surrounding the vent. Observation on 03/26/2025 at 11:17 a.m., revealed dried caked on white substance around the ice machine dispenser door in the kitchen. The ice machine was the only one in the kitchen and actively being used. During an interview on 03/27/2025 at 10:45 a.m., the Dietary Manager (DM) said he had been the DM at the facility for a year. The DM said that the splatter on the wall and ceiling in the kitchen prep area occurred on 03/24/2025 when a dietary staff member opened the blender while making pudding and it splashed on the walls. The DM said the prep table was immediately cleaned but the walls and ceiling were not cleaned immediately. The DM said that was not acceptable and the area should have been cleaned. The DM said the vents found dirty over the prep area had been dirty for a few weeks and he had not had an opportunity to clean them. The DM said that dirty vents could affect food prep if dust or debris falls in the prep area causing possible contamination of food. The DM said he had been aware for weeks that the trash bin next to the handwashing station was not in good condition and that he needed to buy a new trash can. The DM said the risk of trash can not being hands free was contamination of hands from touching the lid. The DM said all food items in the refrigerator and freezer should be labeled. The DM said there was no label on the freezer bag for the shredded beef that had been removed out of the original package. The DM said it was all dietary staff members responsibility to check labels and correct if items are not labeled. The DM said the ice machine and dishwashing machine should be wiped down daily to prevent the dried caked on substance. The DM said there was risk that some of the caked-on substance could end up getting mixed in the ice when using the ice machine. The DM said there was a risk that the caked-on substance could get on clean and sanitized dishes that come out of the machine.
