The facility failed to ensure foods were prepared and distributed under sanitary conditions. Fans with lint and debris were in use in the kitchen and a metal paper towel holder was rusted, preventing proper sanitation of the holder. The use of unclean and/or defective equipment in the kitchen area had the potential to result in contamination of the food being prepared and served to residents. This had the potential to affect all residents receiving foods from the kitchen. Facility census: 97. Findings include: a) During the observation of food preparation and service in the kitchen at 4:45 p.m. on 09/15/14, there were two (2) auxiliary floor fans in use. One was near the door to the dietary office and one was across the room from the steam table where the food was located. The fan was directed towards the steam table. Both of the fans were dirty with debris and lint visible on the wire-like blade covers. There was also a metal paper-towel holder mounted adjacent to the handwashing sink in the kitchen. The holder opening for the towels to emerge through was rusted, which would not allow for thorough cleaning of the equipment. These observations were pointed out to the dietary manager who was present in the kitchen at that time. |
