    Correction: Discard the food at this time and ensure all prepared RTE food is served, sold or discarded by the ""consume by"" date. 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.

Notes:
1. Make sure staff routinely wash out the storage bins used to hold lids in the clean dish area.
2. Maintain the dumpster area and regularly power wash to remove build-ups, thus reducing attractants as warm weather approaches.
3. Not exactly sure why the cooked mushrooms were running warm. The refrigeration unit they were stored in recently as well as overnight were holding correct temperatures. Remind staff product should not be left out at room temperature while awaiting use.

  • 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 beef stored over raw fish in the WIC.
    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.

03/13/2013Routine
Adequate thermometer (calibration checked and needs to be adjusted), hi-temp dish machine, quat sanitizer buckets, and test kit. Reviewed the corporate employee health policy.
Additional temperatures taken: covered chicken breast in WIC after ~1hr cooling in 2" plastic pan 83-90 and 70-75; beef vegetable soup covered and stacked in WIC after ~1hr cooling 105-115***; beef vegetable soup in the hot box that had been further reheated 193
Notes:
1. There are concerns regarding whether or not products are indeed reaching 165 degrees for reheating prior to placing them in the Crescor Hot Cabinet. Product stored on the bottom pan in the unit were holding at 170 degrees, where as containers stacked on top of others were at 143-150 degrees. Per staff, the products had been in the unit for under 1 hour and the cabinet is set at 170-180 degrees. It is thought that the temperature of the products should not have dropped as low as 143-150 degrees inside of a hot cabinet if it had indeed been properly reheated to 165 degrees or higher. Questionably reheated items were returned to the microwave for further heating while the inspector was present.
2. There are concerns regarding the cooling methods being utilized. Corporate policy does not allow for foods to initially cool uncovered at room temperature before placing them in the WIC. All foods are to be tightly covered prior to placing them in the WIC. This inhibits the cooling process, as well as closely stacking the hot food items on the cooling racks in the WIC. Cracking the lids and allowing for air flow around product was observed over the course of 1 hour to greatly increase cooling speeds.
3. Facility needs to place cooling items on the speed rack shelving as soon as possible to help aid increased cooling. A cart of freshly cooked items that were stacked on top of each other was placed in the WIC and was still stacked after over 1 hour. The cooling process is being inhibited by having hot product sitting directly on other hot product.
4. Thermometers need to be re-calibrated on a routine basis.
5. Keep ice buckets inverted during storage.
6. Make sure the dishwasher looks over all dishes after washing to ensure all food residues have effectively been removed.
7. Fry filter powder is used.

  • Cooling Methods
    Observation: Food containers for cooling food are arranged so as not allow for maximum heat transfer. Foods prepared within the last hour were observed stacked or in very close proximity on the cooling racks with lids tightly in place, preventing the escape of heat.
    Correction: Arrange the food containers in the refrigeration equipment to provide maximum heat transfer through the container walls. Loosely cover or uncover the food if protected from overhead contamination during the cooling period to facilitate heat transfer from the surface of the food.
  • Equipment - Cooking and Baking Equipment (repeated violation)
    Observation: The cavity of the microwave ovens are observed soiled.
    Correction: Using the manufacturer's recommended cleaning procedure, clean the microwave oven at least every 24 hours.
  • Non-Food Contact Surfaces
    Observation: The nonfood contact surface of the low shelving along the cookline area has accumulations of grime and debris.
    Correction: Clean the surface at a frequency necessary to preclude accumulation of soil residues that become encrusted or attract insects and rodents.
