Critical: Ready-to-Eat - Potentially Hazardous Food - Disposition* (corrected on site) Observation: The commercially processed ready-to-eat (RTE) hot dogs, deli meat, and breakfast leftovers in the refrigeration unit are not labeled with a "consume by" date.
Correction: Discard the food at this time. Ensure that all commercially processed RTE foods are marked with a "consume by" date once opened. If the food is held at 41°F or below the food shall be served, sold or discarded 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.

Routine
Notes: * VA will soon be updating food regulations that will require a certified Food Safety Manager to be present during hours of food operation (this will require a food service employee on staff to take a class and pass an exam such as through ServSafe) within the next several months. * Facility needs to acquire a digital food thermometer for accurately measuring thin food item temperatures such as hamburger patties. * Facility needs to obtain chlorine (bleach) test strips to check the strength of chlorine in the sanitizer solution buckets and the sanitization set-up of the 3rd compartment when manual warewashing occurs.
Warewashing - Manual Warewashing, Sink Compartment Requirements Observation: Employees are using a 2-compartment sink for warewashing in a manner that does conform to the approval conditions.
Correction: Alter the current warewashing process so that it conforms to the approval conditions by adding the missing 3rd compartment using a large container for the chlorine bleach sanitizer solution set-up of the 3 compartment sink.
Temperature - Food Temperature Measuring Devices - Provided Observation: The Person in Charge could not produce an appropriate food temperature measuring device (such as a digital thermometer) to verify cooking temperatures of thin foods such as meat patties or fish filets.
Correction: A temperature measuring device with a suitable small-diameter probe that is designed to measure the temperature of thin masses shall be provided and readily accessible to accurately measure the temperature in thin foods such as meat patties and fish filets.
Sanitizing Solutions, Testing Devices Observation: There is no properly working test kit provided in the facility for monitoring the concentration of the chlorine (bleach) sanitizing solutions.
