This failure placed the 67 vulnerable residents at risk of vector-borne diseases (diseases that result from an infection transmitted to human by insects such cockroaches, mosquitos, ticks, and fleas), and had the potential for the 67 vulnerable residents to experience food infection from ingesting live bacteria, food intoxication from ingesting food containing toxins from bacteria, and disease transmission that can lead to life threatening complications and death.

The EHS started banging on the sink near the dishwasher and found the cockroach problem. DSS stated when EHS informed her of the cockroach infestation, lunch was prepared and ready for tray line (serving the cooked food on trays for distribution to the residents). The DSS stated the cockroach infestation made the facility's kitchen unsanitary. The DSS stated the food prepared in the unsanitary kitchen was considered contaminated. The DSS further said she (DSS) still decided to serve the contaminated food for lunch for the 67 vulnerable residents.

They contaminate food and eating utensils, occasionally damage fabric and paper products, leave stains on surfaces, and produce unpleasant odors when present in high enough numbers.
