Observation: sausage gravy cold holding at improper temperatures. Observed a temperature of 50°F.

- Critical: Date Marking - Ready-to-Eat - Potentially Hazardous Food - Date Marking* (corrected on site)
Observation: The prepared chili and sausage gravy 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: Food - Consumption of Raw or Undercooked Animal Foods (repeated violation)
Observation: Undercooked eggs are provided on the menu, menu board, table tent or brochure without proper disclosure.
Correction: The Consumer Advisory shall include a disclosure statement that includes a description of the animal-derived foods and identification of the animal-derived foods by asterisking (*) them to a footnote that states that the items are served raw or undercooked, or contain raw or undercooked ingredients.
