Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
The facility had a census of 27 residents. Based on observation, record review, and interview, the facility kitchen staff failed to take the food temperatures before serving the noon meal.Findings included: - On 09/30/25 at 11:15 AM, Dietary Staff (DS) CC prepared the noon meal of pork chop with gravy, mashed potatoes, and broccoli. Observation revealed DS CC ground three porkchops in the robot coupe (a commercial food processor) and placed the plastic 3-quart bowl in the steam table. DS CC made a plate of
the regular meal for three residents and served them. DS CC did not obtain the food temperatures. When asked if she was going to temp the food before she served anyone else, DS CC stated she had already obtained the food temperatures earlier but had not documented it. DS CC stated she would take the food temperatures again. DS CC was questioned regarding taking the food temperatures of the pureed meal and ground meat. Continued observation revealed DS CC took the temperature of the main meal and also the pureed meal, but not the ground pork chop. Continued observation revealed DS CC plated two residents' plates that received the ground pork chop and did not temp before serving it to the two residents. DS CC continued to plate the meal for the rest of the residents in the dining room. When asked why she had not taken the temperature of the ground meat before serving, DS CC stated, I forgot, but would take it now. DS CC obtained the temperature of the ground pork chop at 105 degrees Fahrenheit. DS CC stated there were no other residents who would receive the ground meat.On 09/30/25 at 11:30 AM, DS BB stated that DS CC should have obtained food temperatures before serving the meal to the residents and that she had been working with the dietary staff on this. DS CC further stated that staff are starting to do a lot better at food temperatures than they used to be.The facility's Food Preparation and Service undated policy documented that identification of potential hazards in the food preparation process and adhering to critical control points can reduce the risk of food contamination and thereby minimize the risk of foodborne illness. Food preparation staff adhere to proper hygiene and sanitary practices to prevent the spread of foodborne illness. When verifying food temperatures, staff use a thermometer which was both clean, sanitized, and calibrated to ensure accuracy. The danger zone for food temperatures is above 41 degrees Fahrenheit and below 135 degrees Fahrenheit. This temperature range promotes the rapid growth of pathogenic microorganisms that cause food borne illness. The longer foods remain in the anger zone the greater the risk for growth of harmful pathogens. Therefore, the temperatures must be maintained at or below 41 degrees or at or above 135 degrees.
