Other
Critical: Food - Potentially Hazardous Food - Cold Holding* Observation: Observed food temperatures of 50 degrees F in the small reach-in refrigerator. The problem was ice-build-up on the inside of this unit that had locked the fan blade up- (they were no longer turning) due to the unit being pushed up against the wall. DO NOT PUSH THE UNIT DIRECTLY AGAINST THE WALL AS THE COMPRESSOR ON THE BACK IS UNABLE TO "BREATHE"- THIS WILL CAUSE THE UNIT TO BUILD- ICE ON THE INSIDE AND THUS NOT WORK PROPERLY. THIS WAS DISCUSSED IN GREAT DETAIL WITH THE OPERATOR.
Correction: OPERATOR REMOVED ALL FOOD FROM THIS UNIT AT THE TIME OF INSPECTION. Relocate food to a refrigeration unit that is capable of maintaining food storage at 41°F or below.
Warewashing - Manual Warewashing Equipment, Chemical Sanitizatin Using Detergent-Sanitizers Observation: It was discussed with the operator that they must use a detergent/sanitizer for the 2-bay sink. Micro-chlor a specially designed detergent/sanitizer was specifically designed for 2 compartment sinks used in hotel continental breakfast kitchens.
Correction: Follow the manufacturer's guidelines on the product label to use the detergent/sanitizer properly.
Non-Food Contact Surfaces Observation: Observed food debris and milk-stone in the bottom of the reach-in units.
Correction: Clean the surface at a frequency necessary to preclude accumulation of soil residues that become encrusted or attract insects and rodents.
