- Critical: Food - Potentially Hazardous Food - Hot Holding* (corrected on site)
Observation: Chick peas hot holding at improper temperatures in that said food registered at 125 degrees F.
Correction: Operator voluntarily reheat the food to 165°F and maintained at 135°F or above through the hot holding period.
- Critical: Date Marking - Ready-to-Eat - Potentially Hazardous Food - Date Marking* (corrected on site) (repeated violation)
Observation: The prepared ready-to-eat (RTE) chick peas and chicken in the low boy 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.
- Equipment - Food Contact Surfaces, Nonfood Contact Surfaces, and Utensils
Observation: Observed accumulations of dust, dirt, food residue or other debris on the gaskets and fans of reach in refrigerator.
Correction: Maintain nonfood-contact surfaces of equipment clean.

Facility in good condition.
- Critical: Cooling*
Observation: Chickpeas 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.

Correction: Thaw potentially hazardous foods by either of the following methods: 1. Under refrigeration that maintains food temperature at 41°F (45°F) 2. Completely submerged under running water at a temperature of 70°F or below with sufficient water velocity to agitate and float off loose particles in an overflow. Ready-to-eat food shall not exceed 41°F and raw animal foods shall not exceed 41°F for more than four hours 3. As part of the cooking process
