NOTE: Good job labeling containers, bottles, jars, etc. holding food outside it's original container making it easy to identify. Good job storing in-shell eggs on the bottom shelf below ready-to-eat foods in the cooler. Good job date marking store-made dressings and foods. Store-prepared foods must be used within seven (7) days. Discussed that all store-made dressing, sauces, pureed foods etc. must be kept refrigerated. Also, discussed the potential dangers of cut onion in a balsamic vinegar and oil mixture due to it being there being an oxygen barrier. Certain microorganism can only grow in low or oxygen-free environments. Cold holding is 41 degrees F. or below and there should be accurate, visible thermometers in the warmest part of all cold holding units (usually near the door) -- recommend setting cold holding units to ~36 degrees F. to help compensate for opening and cooling foods. Reminder to always wash hands prior to putting on gloves.
- Critical: Hands - When to Wash* (corrected on site)
Observation: A food employee failed to wash his or her hands before putting to gloves to engage in food preparation.
Correction: Instruct food employees to clean their hands and exposed portions of their arms immediately before engaging in food preparation including working with exposed food, clean equipment and utensils, and unwrapped single-service and single-use articles, prior to putting on gloves, and during food preparation, as often as necessary to remove soil and contamination and to prevent cross contamination when changing task.
- Gloves - Use Limitation
Observation: Single-use gloves worn during multi-tasked food preparation. Employee handled cooler doors, touched nut milk container, used sprayer at dish sink, and then touched and sliced ready-to-eat banana for a bowl with the same gloved hands..
Correction: Discard gloves when changing tasks, whenever you touch a surface that is not clean/sanitized, etc, to prevent cross contamination. Single-use gloves shall be used for only one task such as working with RTE food and used for no other purpose. Wash hands before putting gloves on and between changing gloves. Gloves are for single-use for a task and employees must be trained on how to avoid cross-contamination when working with ready-to-eat foods.
