- Critical: Ready-to-Eat - Potentially Hazardous Food - Disposition* (corrected on site)
Observation: According to the ""consume by"" date on the commercially processed ready-to-eat (RTE) tuna salad and chili in the refrigerator, the food should have been discarded two days ago.
Correction: Discard the food at this time and ensure all commercially processed RTE food is served, sold or discarded by the ""consume by"" date after opening. 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.
- Sanitizing Solutions, Testing Devices
Observation: There is no properly working test kit provided in the facility for monitoring the concentration of the chemical sanitizing solutions.
Correction: Obtain a quat test kit so that employees can accurately monitor the concentration of the sanitizing solutions and maintain them at a safe and effective level.
- Equipment - Cooking and Baking Equipment
Observation: The cavity of the microwave oven is observed soiled.
Correction: Using the manufacturer's recommended cleaning procedure, clean the microwave oven at least every 24 hours.
- Critical: Toxics - Common Name/working Containers of Toxics* (corrected on site)

- Critical: Time as a Public Health Control* (corrected on site)
Observation: No written procedures for the use of time as a public health control with potentially hazardous foods.
Correction: Provide written procedures for the use of time as a public health control. The procedures must include the following steps or practices: a.

The food is served or discarded within four hours from the time when the food is removed from temperature control c. Food in unmarked containers or packages, or for which the time expires is discarded and d. Written procedures are maintained in the food establishment and made available to the regulatory authority upon request e. Once time is implemented as a control measure for potentially hazardous food, no other measures may be substituted.
