Correction: Food shall only contact surfaces of: (A) Equipment and utensils that are cleaned as specified under Part 4-6 of this Code and sanitized as specified under Part 4-7 of this Code
- Critical: Cooling, Cooked Food (corrected on site)
Observation: Corn chowder soup at 89ºF in a sandwich prep refrigerator was not cooled within 2 hours from 57ºC (135ºF) to 21ºC (70ºF)
Correction: and/or within a total of 6 hours from 57ºC (135ºF) to 5ºC (41ºF) or less. (Discarded).
- Critical: Cooling, Ambient Ingredients (corrected on site)
Observation: Chicken salad(65ºF) and tuna salad(70ºF) in the walk in cooler tightly wrapped and covered with a lid were prepared from ingredients at ambient temperature and was not cooled within 4 hours to 5ºC (41ºF). (The salads were relocated and the covers were removed).
Correction: Potentially hazardous food (time/temperature control for safety food) shall be cooled within 4 hours to 5ºC (41ºF) or less, if prepared from ingredients at ambient temperature, such as reconstituted foods and canned tuna. Safe cooling requires removing heat from food quickly enough to prevent microbial growth. Excessive time for cooling of potentially hazardous foods (time/temperature control for safety foods) has been consistently identified as one of the leading contributing factors to foodborne illness. During slow cooling, potentially hazardous foods (time/temperature control for safety foods) are subject to growth of a variety of pathogenic microorganisms. If the food is not cooled in accordance with this Code requirement, pathogens may grow to sufficient numbers to cause foodborne illness.
