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.

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 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.
