Open packages of perishable or leftover foods were not [ properly stored]. CCF Handbook, Section 3.9.2, D (Section 2.1 Health and Safety, Page 3) Food and Nutrition [SR] Comments: During the inspection, 3 boxes of yogurt were found in a refrigerator that was not properly working. The thermometer inside the refrigerator read at 60 degrees Fahrenheit and the boxes of yogurt did not feel cool anymore. The Director threw away the 3 boxes of yogurt during the inspection, as the facility was unsure how long the refrigerator has stopped working properly. The refrigerator is one of many in the food storage area and will just be removed or repaired. The Child Care Facility Handbook states on page 31 that: 3.9.2 Food Storage Proper storage of food is essential to prevent food contamination, as well as, insect and rodent infestation. Correct handling and storage of all food is a key component in preventing food-borne illnesses. To prevent bacteria growth, cold food must be kept at or below 41 degrees Fahrenheit and hot foods at or above 135 degrees Fahrenheit. Source: FL DCF CARES inspection 2024-11-13.

The facilitys refrigerator and/or freezer does not have an appropriate thermometer. CCF Handbook, Section 3.9.2, F.1 (Section 2.1 Health and Safety, Page 3) Food and Nutrition [SR] Comments: During the inspection, several refrigerators/freezers were observed to not have thermometers in them. The Director had extra thermometers onsite and put one in each of the refrigerators and freezers that were missing them during the inspection. The Child Care Facility Handbook states on page 31 that: F. Refrigerators/freezers: 1.

The thermometer must be located in the center of the unit and be readily accessible.
