- Critical: Hands - Preventing Contamination from Hands* (corrected on site)
Observation: Employees observed handling ready-to-eat (RTE) food with their bare hands.
Correction: Provide suitable utensils such as deli tissue, spatulas, tongs, single-use gloves, or dispensing equipment to handle RTE food to prevent contamination from hands.
- Critical: Date Marking - Ready-to-Eat - Potentially Hazardous Food - Date Marking* (corrected on site)
Observation: The ready-to-eat (RTE) product in the refrigeration unit is not properly dated for disposition.
Correction: Mark the date on the container of RTE foods at the time of preparation if the food is to be held for more than 24 hours. If the food is held at 41°F or below the food shall be served or sold within 7 calendar days. Some harmful bacteria continue to grow even at refrigeration temperatures so limiting the amount of time in storage limits the amount of growth allowed for these bacteria.
- Temperature - Food Temperature Measuring Devices - Provided
Observation: The person in charge could not provide a food temperature measuring device.
