Correction: Continue to cook the stuffed food to heat all parts to 165°F or above for 15 seconds.
- Critical: Reheating for Hot Holding* (corrected on site)
Observation: The cooled peas were not reheated to a sufficient temperature and time to eliminate pathogenic bacteria.
Correction: Ensure potentially hazardous foods that are cooked, cooled, and reheated for hot holding are reheated so that all parts of the food reach 165°F or above for 15 seconds. Food shall be reheated within 2 hours.
- Cooling Methods (corrected on site)
Observation: Food containers for cooling food are arranged so as not allow for maximum heat transfer.
Correction: Arrange the food containers in the refrigeration equipment to provide maximum heat transfer through the container walls. Loosely cover or uncover the food if protected from overhead contamination during the cooling period to facilitate heat transfer from the surface of the food.
- Critical: Food - Potentially Hazardous Food - Hot Holding* (corrected on site)
Observation: Meat loaf hot holding at improper temperatures.
Correction: Rapidly reheat the food to 165°F and maintain at 135°F or above through the hot holding period.
- Temperature - Food Temperature Measuring Devices - Provided
Observation: The Person in Charge could not produce an appropriate food temperature measuring device 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.
- Critical: Equipment - Food Contact Surfaces and Utensils (corrected on site)
Observation: The temperature measuring device probe was not observed cleaned before use and/or storage.
Correction: Clean food contact surfaces of equipment and utensils between and after uses to prevent cross contamination.
- Critical: Pests-Controlling Pests*
Observation: Observed methods are not being used to control pests.
Correction: The presence of insects, rodents, and other pests shall be controlled to minimize their presence on the premises by using methods such as trapping devices or other methods as required.

- Critical: Hands - When to Wash* (corrected on site)
Observation: A food employee failed to wash his or her hands before storing cleaned and sanitized equipment at the dish washing machine.
Correction: Instruct food employees to clean their hands and exposed portions of their arms immediately before engaging in food preparation including working with exposed food, clean equipment and utensils, and unwrapped single-service and single-use articles and during food preparation, as often as necessary to remove soil and contamination and to prevent cross contamination when changing task.
- Critical: Food - Packaged and Unpackaged - Separation, Packaging, and Segregation* (corrected on site) (repeated violation)
Observation: Raw food of animal origin holding in a manner that may cause cross contamination of to ready-to-eat food (RTE).
Correction: Separate raw foods during storage, preparation, holding, and display from raw RTE food including other raw food such as fish for sushi or molluscan shellfish, or other raw RTE food such as vegetables, and cooked RTE food.

- Person in Charge
Observation: Food employees are not informed of their responsibility to report to their PIC information concerning their health and activities as they relate to diseases transmitted through food.
Correction: PIC is to advise employees of their responsibility to report in accordance with law information concerning their health and activities as they relate to diseases transmitted through food.
- Critical: Food - Packaged and Unpackaged - Separation, Packaging, and Segregation* (corrected on site) (repeated violation)
Observation: Raw food of animal origin holding in a manner that may cause cross contamination of to ready-to-eat food (RTE). Shell eggs stored in reach in refrigerator.
Correction: Separate raw foods during storage, preparation, holding, and display from raw RTE food including other raw food such as fish for sushi or molluscan shellfish, or other raw RTE food such as vegetables, and cooked RTE food.
- Critical: Food - Potentially Hazardous Food - Hot Holding* (corrected on site)
Observation: Chili hot holding at improper temperatures. Observed a temperature of 115°F
Correction: Rapidly reheat the food to 165°F and maintain at 135°F or above through the hot holding period.
- Temperature - Food Temperature Measuring Devices - Provided
Observation: The Person in Charge could not produce an appropriate food temperature measuring device 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.
- Critical: Equipment - Food Contact Surfaces, Nonfood Contact Surfaces, and Utensils* (corrected on site)
Observation: The following utensils were observed soiled to sight and touch: Pots and utensils.
Correction: Clean and sanitize these surfaces for food contact.
- Equipment - Food Contact Surfaces, Nonfood Contact Surfaces, and Utensils
Observation: Observed accumulations of encrusted grease deposits or other soil on the following food contact surfaces: Deli meat slicers.
Correction: Clean and sanitize these surfaces for food contact.
- Critical: Equipment and Utensils - Before Use After Cleaning* (corrected on site)
Observation: The food-contact surfaces of the following equipment were not observed sanitized: Food containers stacked above sanitizing water level at three compartment sink.
Correction: After cleaning and rinsing of the food-contact surface, the surface shall be effectively sanitized before coming in contact with food and before use.

10/27/2014 | Routine | |
- Critical: Food - Packaged and Unpackaged - Separation, Packaging, and Segregation* (corrected on site)
Observation: Raw food of animal origin holding in a manner that may cause cross contamination of to ready-to-eat food (RTE). Shell eggs stored over RTE foods.
Correction: Separate raw foods during storage, preparation, holding, and display from raw RTE food including other raw food such as fish for sushi or molluscan shellfish, or other raw RTE food such as vegetables, and cooked RTE food.
- Critical: Cooling* (corrected on site)
Observation: Pinto beans and mashed potatoes 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.
- Warewashing Equipment, Cleaning Frequency (corrected on site)
Observation: The compartment(s) or drainboards of the mechanical dish machine are heavily soiled.
Correction: Clean the sink compartment(s) or drainboards: 1) before use. 2) throughout the day at a frequency to prevent contamination of food, sanitized equipment and utensils. and 3) if used, at least every 24 hours.
