8258 SAINT MATTHEWS HEALTH CARE, LLC 425170 601 DANTZLER STREET SAINT MATTHEWS SC 29135 2012-04-11 371 F 0 1 EZCC11 On the days of the surveys, based on observations and interview, the facility failed to ensure that the insulated tops that cover the plates and foods served to resident's were used under sanitary conditions. The findings included: Observations on 4-10-2012 at 11:45 AM during preparation of the lunch meal revealed insulated covers stacked on a stainless steal counter near the tray line. Further observation of the insulated covers revealed dried- on white spots on the inside of the covers where there was potential for food contact. An interview with the District Manager of dietary services on 4-10-2012 confirmed this observation and he immediately began to sanitize the inside of the covers prior to utilization. He indicated that out of the approximately 150 insulted covers in kitchen inventory about one half were re-sanitized. When asked if the soiled covers would have been continued to be used if not identified by the survey process, he indicated a yes response. 2016-06-01
