Utensils - In-Use - Between-Use Storage (corrected on site) Observation: Dispensing utensils improperly stored between uses. Ice scoop stored with handle touching ice.
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.
Critical: Cooling* Observation: Tomato sauce noted not being adequately cooled to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria. Sauce found at 86 F next day.
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.
Equipment - Good Repair and Proper Adjustment Observation: The door gasket to the sandwich table is in poor repair.
Correction: Repair or replace the door gasket in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications.
