Handwashing, and dishwashing, facilities were being maintained properly.
  • Jewelry - Prohibition
    Observation: Employees working with food are wearing a ring on their fingers with stones in it.
    Correction: The only ring that may be worn when working in the kitchen area is one plain wedding band. No stones, or rough surfaces are allowed. This is true even when disposable gloves are worn.
  • Critical: Food - Potentially Hazardous Food - Cold Holding*
    Observation: Foods were "out of temperature" in the tan refrigerator located to the right of the grill. Potato salad was at 48 F. Macaroni salad was at 48 F.
    Correction: When a potentially hazardous food goes out of temperature, that is above 41 F, it is critical to know exactly when that food went out of temperature. Potentially hazardous foods must be eaten, or discarded, within four hours of going out of temperature, or there is a risk of foodborne illness. The tan refrigerator needs to be replaced with a refrigerator which is capable of holding all potentially hazardous foods at 41 F, or lower, at all times (or replaced using a freezer adjusted to be used at refrigeration temperatures, rather than freezer temperatures). Potentially hazardous foods can be stored in one of the two white refrigerators which are working properly, holding foods at 41 F, or lower, at all times.
