Summary

The facility failed to ensure that a registered dietitian reviewed and approved a special lunch menu and its nutritional substitutes prior to serving it to residents. On the date in question, the Dietary Manager prepared a special meal, Braised Beef Tips, for a cook-off competition and subsequently adapted the recipe to serve to residents for lunch. Review of the four-week menu cycle showed that this meal did not have a registered dietitian's signature of approval. The registered dietitian later confirmed that approval for the special menu was not obtained prior to serving.
