81	HELEN PORTER HEALTHCARE & REHAB	475017	30 PORTER DRIVE	MIDDLEBURY	VT	5753	2017-03-16	371	D	0	1	LMI011	Based on observation and confirmed by staff interview the facility failed to store food in 1 of 2 resident units according to professional standards for food service safety. The findings include the following: 1. Per observation and inspection of the Otter Creek kitchenette on 3/13/17 at approximately 11 AM, the refrigerator contained a small jar in a plastic bag labeled Salmon and identified the resident's name. The date on the plastic bag was 2/10/17 which was crossed out. There is no date identifying when the Salmon was placed in the refrigerator. Per interview with the Food Service Manger at approximately 11:30 AM confirmation was made that the plastic bag had been reused and there is no date identifying when the Salmon was placed in the refrigerator. 2. Per observation and inspection of the Otter Creek kitchenette on 3/13/17 at approximately 11 AM, the freezer contained a bag of approximately 5 frozen burritos. The bag was labeled with the resident's name and identified the contents, but the bag was stamped with an expiration date of 5/7/15. Confirmation was made by the Food Service Manger at approximately 11:33 AM that the bag was reused and the staff did not notice the date of expiration. Per interview with the Food Service Manager, refrigerated foods are kept for 3-5 days and frozen foods are kept for approximately 2 months then discarded. Facility policy Food Storage identifies that all foods that are opened or prepared will be stored in an approved container with an appropriate cover. Also will include a label that lists food item and date prepared or opened.	2020-09-01
