Findings include: Facility policy titled Storage of Pots, Dishes, Flatware, and Utensils, dated 5/95 and revised 1/14, revealed it is the policy of the facility that pots, dishes and flatware are stored in such a way as to prevent contamination by splash, dust, pests, or other means.

Observation at these times also revealed a light and dark brown build-up of grease covering the inside walls, racks, drip pan, and door of the Combi/Convection oven and extremely warm temperature inside the room containing the Combi/Convection oven and dry food storage. Foods stored included canned foods, spices, oatmeal, instant mashed potatoes, pasta, and white and brown sugar.

Interview with DM on 4/20/17 at 10:15 AM revealed the oven is cleaned every month and is due for a cleaning this week-end. DM confirmed the heavy build-up and oven probably should be cleaned more often. DM confirmed there were no employee log-in sheets for cleaning the oven.
