The products were accessible to residents in the Camellia Cottage. RN #2 (Registered Nurse) checked the jar and confirmed the label specified use by 6/6/12. She contacted the Dietary Supervisor who also confirmed that the labels were marked this way because the expiration dates were on the cartons the products were shipped in and not on the individual packets. Magnolia Cottage had 15 packets of Italian Dressing labeled use by 4/29/12. The Dietary Supervisor confirmed the date and stated, Those should have been removed in April. Magnolia Cottage also had two 1 gallon containers of lemonade in the refrigerator labeled 6/13/12. RN #1 (Registered Nurse) confirmed the label read 6/13/12. She stated that should be thrown out.

The cook also measured the temperature of the rice entree and then placed the thermometer into the pork roast without cleaning the thermometer between the two entrees. 2016-01-01
