All food shall be selected, stored, prepared and served in a safe and healthful manner. This requirement was not being met as evidenced by: The facility's chef was absent for a period during January and part of February. As a result, the facility experienced significant challenges in preparing and providing breakfast and lunch for the children in care. In the absence of the chef, meals were prepared by available staff and teachers, many of whom had no formal food service training. This arrangement proved to be difficult, and during this time, children were often served prepackaged , processed food items such as Cheez-its and Goldfish crackers. On multiple occasions, breakfast was replaced with snack like items, including granola bars, in place of more balanced, traditional morning meals. There were frequent instances where the facility did not have enough food to offer second servings. Additionally, the items listed on the menu often deviated from what was actually served to the children. This poses a potential health, safety, and personal rights risk to children in care. 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Failure to correct the cited deficiency(ies), on or before the Plan of Correction (POC) due date, may result in a civil p
