Operator agrees to discontinue packaging untreated (not pasteurized) juice (lemonade) until a proper label is obtained. A large catering order had just been prepared upon my arrival, therefore many cold holding temperatures were slightly elevated and the food products were in the process of cooling to 41 degrees from ambient air temperatures.
- Critical: Food - Treating Juice* (corrected on site)
Observation: Unpasteurized juice is being packaged in the food establishment but the juice container is not labeled to alert the consumer that the juice is unpasteurized.
Correction: Unpasteurized juice that is packaged in the food establishment must be labeled with the following statement: “WARNING: This product has not been pasteurized and, therefore, may contain harmful bacteria that can cause serious illness in children, the elderly, and persons with weakened immune systems.”

- Gloves - Use Limitation (corrected on site)
Observation: Single-use gloves while worn during multi-tasked food preparation.
Correction: Discard gloves when changing tasks and wash hands when changing from raw food to ready-to-eat (RTE) food preparation to prevent cross contamination. Single-use gloves shall be used for only one task such as working with RTE food or with raw animal food and used for no other purpose.
- Critical: Cooling* (corrected on site)
Observation: Roast eef noted not being adequately cooled to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria.
Correction: Cool potentially hazardous foods from 135°F to 70°F within 2 hours and within a total of 6 hours from 135°F to 41°F. A longer time for cooling allows an ideal situation for bacterial growth. This has been shown to be the major contributing factor in many foodborne illnesses.
