Type

    Observation: Produce boxes observed stored on the floor in the produce walk-in refrigerator.
    Correction: Protect food from contamination by storing the food in a clean and dry location.
  • Time/Temperature Control for Safety Food, Cold Holding (corrected on site)
    Observation: Samples of provolone cheese (58F) were observed at improper cold holding temperature at customer service area.
    Correction: (discarded) - Except during preparation, cooking, or cooling, or when time is used as the public health control as specified under section 3-501.19, and except as specified under paragraph (B) of this section, time/temperature control for safety food shall be maintained at 5ºC (41ºF) or less. Bacterial growth and/or toxin production can occur if time/temperature control for safety food remains in the temperature "Danger Zone" of 5ºC to 57ºC (41ºF to 135ºF) too long. Up to a point, the rate of growth increases with an increase in temperature within this zone. Beyond the upper limit of the optimal temperature range for a particular organism, the rate of growth decreases. Operations requiring heating or cooling of food should be performed as rapidly as possible to avoid the possibility of bacterial growth.
