- Critical: Food - Potentially Hazardous Food - Cold Holding* (corrected on site)
Observation: Foods in the make table cooler and salsa in the three door reach-in cold holding at improper temperatures. Ambient air temperature of make table cooler observed at 41 F and ambient air temperature of the true three door reach-in observed at 50 F. Foods were either discarded or moved from these refrigeration units.
Correction: Cold hold potentially hazardous food at 41°F or below to inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria.
- Critical: Ready-to-Eat - Potentially Hazardous Food - Disposition* (corrected on site)
Observation: According to the ""consume by"" date on the commercially processed ready-to-eat (RTE) foods in the refrigerator, several items should have been discarded several days ago.
Correction: Discard the food at this time and ensure all commercially processed RTE food is served, sold or discarded by the ""consume by"" date after opening. 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.
- Sanitizing Solutions, Testing Devices
Observation: There is no properly working test kit provided in the facility for monitoring the concentration of the chemical sanitizing solutions.
Correction: Obtain a quaternary ammonium test kit so that employees can accurately monitor the concentration of the sanitizing solutions and maintain them at a safe and effective level.
- Toilet Rooms - Enclosed
Observation: Toilet room door is not provided with a self-closing door. The only bathroom door that is not in need of a self closing device is the women's rest-room on the smoking side. Bathroom doors must be kept closed.
