Inspection Findings
Review of the diet spread sheet for the meal documented the serving size to be 4 ounces of kielbasa with 2 ounces of the peppers and onions.
Review of the production recipe instructed to serve 4 ounces of sausage (kielbasa) with 3 ounces of vegetables.
An observation of the lunch line service on 08/07/24 beginning at 11:20 AM revealed a large pan on the steam table containing sliced kielbasa mixed with onions and green peppers.
Staff D, the cook for that day, used a 4-ounce ladle to portion out and serve the kielbasa and vegetables for each resident.
Observations were made of the entire first and second carts that serviced the restorative and main dining room.
Each portion of kielbasa and vegetables had about 6 slices of the kielbasa, give or take one slice.
At the end of the service on 08/07/24 at approximately 12:50 PM, the cook was asked to weigh 6 slices of the kielbasa, the protein served for the regular diet.
The cook agreed that was the average number of slices provided to each resident.
The weight of the kielbasa was 2.4 ounces (Photographic Evidence Obtained).
During a side-by-side review of the diet spread sheet and recipe, both the cook and CDM (Certified Dietary Manager) agreed an inadequate protein portion was served.
