01/27/2015Routine
Discussed time control for the hamburger. This would be the best option for this. 4 hours is the time limit before they would have to be discarded.
Facility is well maintained. The hood filters are in need of cleaning, but over all the facility is being kept clean. The utensil drawers are damaged and need replaced.

  • Gloves - Use Limitation (corrected on site)
    Observation: Single-use gloves while worn during multi-tasks.
    Correction: Discard gloves when changing tasks and wash hands when changing from raw food to ready-to-eat (RTE) food preparation to prevent cross contamination. Discard gloves after delivering food to a table and wash hands when tasks are changed.

    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.

06/24/2014Risk Factor
Good work on previous items.
Discussed prevention of barehand contact. If an item is not going to be heat treated, then barehand contact must be prevented. Use of deli tissue, tongs, and single use gloves are appropriate for this. But if gloves are going to be used, only put gloves on for the specific task that requires barehand contact, such as slicing cucumbers for salads.

  • Critical: Hands - Preventing Contamination from Hands* (corrected on site)

Procedures for datemarking is in place, but it is not being followed properly by all employees. New dates had not been put on the chicken salad and potato salad when it was last made. Old stickers are not being removed from the lids when washed. These need to be removed to properly clean the lids and to assure no confusion with multiple or old dates on a container. Person in charge knows the procedures for proper datemarking in the regulations.

  • Critical: Date Marking - Ready-to-Eat - Potentially Hazardous Food - Date Marking*
    Observation: The ready-to-eat (RTE) commercially processed deli meats, bologna, and hot dogs in the True refrigeration unit was not properly dated for disposition after opening.
    Correction: Mark a "consume by" date on commercially processed RTE foods at the time the original container is opened. 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.

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.
