These failures had the potential to affect all residents receiving meals from the kitchen. The facility's Resident Census and Condition of Residents form, dated 03/14/2017, indicated 144 residents resided in the facility. Findings include: 1) Review of the facility policy titled Receiving, dated 05/2014, revealed the following: . Action Steps . 6.

EI #4 said if items were not labeled with the use by date you would not know when it should be discarded. EI #4 also explained items past their use by dates should be discarded every morning. EI #4 said if items were stored past their use by dates they could grow bacteria and make people sick. 2) Review of the facility's policy titled Food and Supply Storage, undated, revealed the following: .

Employee Identifier (EI) #4, the Dietary Manager, was interviewed on 03/16/2017 at 2:45 p.m EI #4 said when thawing chicken, cooked foods should be stored on top, then raw vegetables, and on bottom, the raw meats and poultry. After discussing the observation of the pan with bloody juices beside the tomatoes, EI #4 agreed the storage could cause disease.	2020-09-01
