The North nutrition refrigerator maintained an inside temperature higher than the recommended acceptable parameters. The findings included: Observation of the North Unit nutrition refrigerator on 10/20/10 at 2:15 PM, revealed contents of Med Pass, soft drinks, and applesauce. The inside refrigerator temperature was 56 degrees. The Dietary Manager and Maintenance Director confirmed that the temperature was above the recommended parameters. Review of the refrigerator log for October 2010 revealed temperatures ranging from 42 - 62 degrees.
