Observation of the main kitchen on 6/18/2024 at 10:00 am, 6/19/2024 at 11:00 am, and 6/19/2024 at 12:15 pm revealed a substantial number of live flies in the kitchen area.

This observation was confirmed in the presence of the Dietary Manager (DM), who was interviewed. On 6/18/2024 at 10:00 am, observation found the back door in the main kitchen was slightly open, with an opening at the top of the door.

The DM revealed the door had been broken and had needed a repair for a while.

Several insects were observed flying over the uncovered glasses.

The DM acknowledged the insects during an interview conducted at the time of the observation.

On 6/20/2024 at 2:30 pm, the Maintenance Director (MD) revealed pest control treated the kitchen and dining area at least once a month.

The MD stated the cause of the flies was a result of the back kitchen door not being replaced and further stated he was unaware the door needed to be replaced.

The MD stated he could put a weather strip to cover the opening of the kitchen door until an order was placed for a new door.

The MD revealed the back kitchen door had an air curtain (to prevent insects from coming into contact with the kitchen area and dining area), and he stated that, sometimes, the air curtain was turned off by staff.
