Small deli hot holding showcase to be turned up slightly, as hot held food had dropped below 135 degrees.
- Critical: Food - Packaged and Unpackaged - Separation, Packaging, and Segregation* (corrected on site) (repeated violation)
Observation: Raw foods of animal origin stored over ready-to-eat (RTE) food in the refrigeration unit. Raw hamburger patties stored over top of hot dogs, etc.

Spoke with PIC about importance of date marking items kept for more than 24 hours. Spoke with both PIC and lunch manager about making sure to rotate hot held foods every four hours if they are not kept at 135 degrees. Both managers assured me that all hot foods are rotated every 2 hours.
- Critical: Date Marking - Ready-to-Eat - Potentially Hazardous Food - Date Marking* (corrected on site)
Observation: The prepared ready-to-eat (RTE) chicken breast in the refrigeration unit is not properly dated for disposition.
Correction: Mark the name and "consume by" date on the container of RTE foods at the time of preparation if the food is to be held for more than 24 hours. If the food is held at 41°F or below the food shall be served or sold 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.
