3909 PENDLETON MANOR 515124 68 GOOD SAMARITAN DRIVE FRANKLIN WV 26807 2016-07-27 371 E 0 1 H9WH11 Based on observation, staff interview, and the review of the Food Code the facility failed to properly date and label food items to prevent the potential outbreak of foodborne illness. A nourishment pantry on the 500 unit had in-house prepared plastic covered plates of cottage cheese and onions without proper dates/labels. This practice had the potential to affect all residents residing on the 500 unit. Facility census: 85. Findings include: a) An observation tour of the storage of foods in the snack/nourishment refrigerator located on the 500 unit at 1:00 p.m. on 07/18/16 (Monday), revealed the following: --two (2) small plates with individual servings of cottage cheese, covered with plastic wrap with a colored sticker indicating it had been placed there the preceding Tuesday (7 days prior); --one (1) small plate of sliced onions, covered with plastic wrap with a colored sticker indicating it had been placed there the preceding Friday (4 days prior); and --one (1) container with an individual serving of applesauce covered with plastic wrap and a colored sticker indicating it had been there since Thursday (5 days prior). Nurse Aide (NA) #74 was present during the observation and explained that each of the different colored dots, located in a container on the counter adjacent to the refrigerator, indicated a day of the week and was applied to a container of food by the aides when placed in the refrigerator. When she was asked how long the food should be retained in the refrigerator, she immediately removed all the items in question and said she would dispose of them. She stated they had been there too long. b) During an interview with the Director of Nurses (DON) at 11:30 a.m. on 07/26/16, she stated the facility operated under guidance of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Food Code and presented a copy of a page from the Food Code containing Section 3-501.17 (A) which indicated refrigerated foods could be held for a maximum of 7 days. She insisted that the colored dot on the foods removed were within that boundary. After reviewing Sect. 3-501.17 in its entirety with the Dietary Manager at 9:30 a.m. on 07/27/16, she agreed that further in the section, under (E) which was not on the page presented by the DON, revealed the following: --Section 3-501.17 (A) does not apply to individual meal portions served or repackaged for sale from a bulk container upon a consumer's reques. --Labeling instructions applied to commercially processed food (open and hold) and food prepared and packaged by a food processing plant shal be clearly marked, at the time the original container is opened in a food establishment and if the food is held for more than 24 hours, to indicate the date or day by which the food shall be consumed on the premises. --The day the original container is opened in the food establishment shall be counted as day one (1). The Dietary Manager acknowledged she had failed to take note of the exception under (E) and agreed the colored dot did not indicate the date of the opening of the bulk container of these items. She stated the bulk containers were labeled with that date, but the foods indicated, were sent from the kitchen with the intention they were to be consumed with the meal and not to be held for an extended period of time. 2020-04-01
