Manager to review proper procedure to cool foods, especially refried beans and whole chicken. I recommend cutting chicken so that it will cool quicker. Write your time control policy for your pupusa mixtures. Annual permit issued.
- Critical: Food - Packaged and Unpackaged - Separation, Packaging, and Segregation* (corrected on site)
Observation: Different types of raw animal foods stored in such a manner that may cause cross contamination. Raw chicken stored above raw pork in walk in.
Correction: Separate types of raw animal foods from each other such as beef, fish, lamb pork, and poultry during storage, preparation, holding, and display by the following: (a) Using separate equipment for each type. (b) Arranging each type of food in equipment so that cross contamination of one type with another is prevented. (c) Preparing each type of food at different times or in separate areas.
- Food Storage Containers - Identified with Common Name of Food
Observation: Unlabeled food containers. Sugar, masa.
Correction: Label working containers with the common name of its contents. Consumers may be allergic to certain foods or ingredients. The mistaken use of an ingredient when the consumer has requested that it not be used may result in severe medical consequences. Liquid foods and granular foods may resemble cleaning compounds. The mistaken use of food from an unlabeled container could result in chemical poisoning.
- Utensils - In-Use - Between-Use Storage
Observation: Dispensing utensils improperly stored between uses.
Correction: Store in-use utensils or dispensing utensils in one of the following manners: 1) In the food with their handles above the top of the food and the container. 2) In food that is not potentially hazardous with their handles above the top of the food within containers or equipment that can be closed. 3) On a clean portion of the food preparation table or cooking equipment only if the in-use utensil and the food-contact surface of the food preparation table or cooking equipment are cleaned and sanitized every 4 hours. 4) In running water of sufficient velocity to flush particulates to the drain. 5) In a clean, protected location if the utensils are used only with a food that is not potentially hazardous. 6) In a container of water if the water is maintained at a temperature of at least 135°F.
- Food Storage - Clean and Dry Location
Observation: Food stored on the floor or food stored less than 6" above the floor. Bag of rice and food on freezer floor. Uncovered food in freezer.;Elevate food storage onto approved shelving with minimum 6" legs or casters. Cover food to protect.
- Critical: Food - Potentially Hazardous Food - Cold Holding* (corrected on site)
Observation: Mixtures for pupusas found at improper temperatures. Apparently these were made this morning and not chilled to 41 before placing in make table to make pupusas.
Correction: These were relocated to ice baths. I highly recommend you place these mixtures on time control OR prepare earlier so they have time to cool to 41 F or below. If you decide on time control, discard every 4 hours. Time must be tracked for each mixture. Manager to make a decision on what process will be used.
- Critical: Date Marking - Ready-to-Eat - Potentially Hazardous Food - Date Marking*
Observation: The prepared ready-to-eat (RTE) potatoes, tamales, chicken in the refrigeration unit is not properly dated for disposition.
Correction: Mark the name and "consume by" 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.
- Critical: Toxics - Common Name/working Containers of Toxics* (corrected on site)
Observation: Working containers of glass cleaner was not properly labeled.
Correction: Working containers of toxic items are to be properly labeled with contents. Identification of these containers with the common name of the material helps prevent the dangerous misuse of the contents.
