    Observation: Observed uncovered containers of yum yum sauce and cut vegetables in the walk in cooler- not protected from potential contamination.
    Correction: Store food where it is not exposed to splash, dust, or other contamination to prevent contamination.
  • Records - Creation and Retention
    Observation: No written agreement or statement from the supplier or aquaculturist stipulating that the fish, such as salmon, were raised (open water in net pens
    Correction: or land-based operations such as farm and tanks) and fed formulated feed, such as pellets that contain no live parasites infective to the aquacultured fish.
  • Records - Creation and Retention
    Observation: No parasite destruction records maintained for raw, raw marinated, partially cooked or marinated-partially cooked fish that are served or sold in ready-to-eat form.
    Correction: Obtain a written agreement or statement from the supplier stipulating that the fish supplied are frozen throughout to a temperature of -4°F (-20°C) for 168 hours (7 days) in a freezer or at -31°F (-35°C) for 15 hours in a blast freezer.
  • Critical: Cooling* (corrected on site)
    Observation: Rice, prepared yesterday, noted not being adequately cooled to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria. Observed 2 large bins of rice in the reach in cooler measuring 48'F and 51'F internally. The chef stated that the rice was prepared last night. The ambient air temperature in the reach in cooler was 40'F. (I advised the employees not to serve the rice to customers).
    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.
  • Cooling Methods
    Observation: The methods used for cooling rice were not adequate. Rice was placed in large bus tubs for cooling and did not cool properly (see -800).
    Correction: Cool foods by the following methods: 1. Placing food in shallow pans 2. Separating food into smaller thinner portions 3. Using rapid chill cooling equipment 4.

    Correction: Store raw shell eggs in refrigerated equipment capable of maintaining ambient air temperatures of 45°F or less
  • Critical: Date Marking - Ready-to-Eat - Potentially Hazardous Food - Date Marking*
    Observation: The prepared ready-to-eat (RTE) foods such as sauces, rice, tempura shrimp, egg rolls, cooked vegetables, etc. in the refrigeration units are 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.
  • Critical: Time as a Public Health Control*
    Observation: No written procedures available for the use of time as a public health control for sushi rice.
    Correction: Provide written procedures for the use of time as a public health control. The procedures must include the following steps or practices: a.
