    AT THE TIME OF TODAY'S INSPECTION, GRILLED CHICKEN PATTIES IN THE TOP PORTION OF THE BUFFET COOLER WERE FOUND AT 45.1 DEGREES F AT APPROXIMATELY 10:05 A.M. THE PERSON IN CHARGE STATED THAT THE PATTIES WERE PLACED IN THIS COOLER ABOUT TWO HOURS PRIOR AND WERE TAKEN FROM THE WALK IN COOLER. POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS FOODS HELD COLD SHALL BE KEPT COLD AT 41 DEGREES F OR LESS. ENSURE THAT POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS FOODS HELD IN THIS COOLER ARE MAINTAINED AT 41 DEGREES F OR LESS. THIS IS A REPEAT CRITICAL VIOLATION. A RE-VISIT INSPECTION WILL BE CONDUCTED WITHIN 10 DAYS OR LESS TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE. PLEASE COMPLETE THE RISK CONTROL PLAN PROVIDED BY THE TIME OF THE RE-VISIT INSPECTION. COMMENTS: THE PERSON IN CHARGE WAS INFORMED THAT THE PATTIES WOULD HAVE TO BE DISCARDED IF THEY REMAIN GREATER THAN 41 DEGREES F FOR 4 OR MORE HOURS. THE WALK IN COOLER WAS OBSERVED KEEPING FOODS AT PROPER TEMPERATURES: I.E.: SLICED HAM: 37 DEGREES F, SLICED HARD SALAMI: 38 DEGREES F. CONSIDER IMPLEMENTING THE FOLLOWING CORRECTIVE ACTIONS: 1.)

ENSURE THAT FOODS ARE NOT STACKED HIGHER THAN THE RIM OF THEIR RESPECTIVE CONTAINERS AND HIGHER THAN THE FROST LINE OF THE COLD WELL. ,
