The Facility Director stated that the facility is regularly sanitized and undergoes periodic deep cleaning. In addition, during the inspection of the facility, LPA did not detect any malodorous smells.
Based on observations and interviews, there is no evidence to support the allegation that expired food is served to children. The facility receives weekly food deliveries from a reputable vendor. All food items arrive with intact packaging, including clear labeling of expiration dates and product details. Upon delivery, staff store the items according to proper food safety requirements. Canned goods are labeled with the date they were received. Meals are prepared by the facility cook, and snacks and meals are distributed to classrooms by facility staff. Observations and staff interviews confirmed that no expired food products were present or served at the facility at the time of inspection.
From the information received through interviews with Facility staff and other pertaining parties, the above allegations cannot be verified. Although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the allegations did or did not occur, therefore, the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED.
