- Critical: Cooling* (corrected on site)
Observation: Rice noted not being adequately cooled to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria.
Correction: Cool potentially hazardous foods from 135°F to 70°F within 2 hours and within a total of 6 hours from 135°F to 41°F. A longer time for cooling allows an ideal situation for bacterial growth. This has been shown to be the major contributing factor in many foodborne illnesses.
- Cooling Methods (corrected on site)
Observation: The methods used for cooling were not adequate. Rice was cooling in covered plastic container in refrigerator.
Correction: Cool foods by the following methods: 1. Placing food in shallow pans 2. Separating food into smaller thinner portions 3. Using rapid chill cooling equipment 4. Stirring the food in a container placed in an ice water bath 5. Using containers that facilitate heat transfer 6. Adding ice as an ingredient 7. Any other method that can effectively accomplish cooling.
