Multiple containers of bulk dry goods had cups or scoops stored in them with the handles or hand contact surfaces touching the food product, potentially contaminating the items. e.

Temperature log was noted with multiple recordings of a final rinse temperature under the required 180 degrees. f. Multiple items in reach-in freezers and refrigerators were observed opened and/or not fully covered/protected from potential contamination. g. Multiple food items were found well past manufacturers’ use-by dates and in need of disposal. h. Multiple utensils were noted stored with food contact surfaces uncovered/unprotected from potential contamination. A container of dry creamer powder was observed stored open and exposed to potential contamination on the counter in the MCC section dining room. i. Multiple towels used for surface sanitation were observed stored on counter tops and other areas not in the bucket of sanitizer. Staff were not aware of the correct strips to use for the surface sanitizing solution. j. Staff drinks were noted to not be of the approved style, making potential contamination of the lip contact surfaces likely. k. Chemical bottles were stored directly above dishes/utensils or cooking equipment. l. The facility was using regular (non-pasteurized) whole shell eggs for cook-to-order eggs for residents. Staff 2 (Cook) verified at least one current resident ordered over easy eggs. m. The facility did not have the weekly menu posted or prepared in advance. Staff 2 stated she was making up the days’ menu based on what food was on hand. The kitchen was running low on stocked food items. Another cook stated that it would be helpful to have a set menu to plan meals and to ensure repeat items were avoided. n. Staff 2, who was the dedicated person-in-charge, was not able to order food items, was not able to discuss appropriate dish or surface sanitation processes. Staff 2 was not fully aware of different texture diet types and could not discuss with the surveyor appropriate food items to provide or avoid for mechanical soft diet types. The facility was without a kitchen manager, and the executive director was out on medical leave causing the dining services to not be effectively supervised. Multiple sanitation issues were noted related to the inadequate supervision of the department. At 12:45 pm, the surveyor reviewed above identified areas with both Staff 1 (Registered Nurse/Manager On Duty) and Staff 3 (ED) via phone. Both Staff 1 and Staff 3 acknowledged areas.
