- Critical: Date Marking - Ready-to-Eat - Potentially Hazardous Food - Date Marking* (corrected on site)
Observation: The prepared ready-to-eat (RTE) product in the refrigeration unit is not properly dated for disposition.
Correction: Mark the 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.
- Temperature - Food Temperature Measuring Devices - Provided
Observation: The person in charge could not provide a food temperature measuring device.
Correction: Obtain at least one food temperature measuring device so employees can properly monitor the temperature of food items in the establishment.
- Handwashing - Using a Handwashing Lavatory (corrected on site) (repeated violation)
Observation: The handwashing facility located in the kitchen was blocked, preventing access by employees for easy handwashing.
Correction: Access to the handwashing facility identified above is to be available during all hours of operation. Remove the items preventing its use.
- Toilet Rooms - Enclosed
Observation: Men's toilet room door is not provided with a self-closing door
Correction: Provide a self-closer for the toilet room door. Completely enclosed toilet facilities minimize the potential for the spread of disease by the movement of flies and other insects between the toilet facility and food preparation areas.

- Critical: Cooling*
Observation: Meat Loaf 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 from 70°F to 41°F or below within 4 hours. 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 were not adequate.
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. Stirring the food in a container placed in an ice water bath 5. Using containers that facilitate heat transfer 6. Adding ice as an ingredient 7. Any other method that can effectively accomplish cooling.

Observation: The ready-to-eat (RTE) commercially processed deli meats in the refrigeration unit was not properly dated for disposition after opening.
Correction: Mark a "consume by" date on commercially processed RTE foods at the time the original container is opened. 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: Date Marking - Ready-to-Eat - Potentially Hazardous Food - Date Marking* (repeated violation)
Observation: The prepared ready-to-eat (RTE) meat loaf and mash potatoes in the refrigeration unit is not properly dated for disposition.

- Handwashing - Using a Handwashing Lavatory
Observation: The handwashing facility located at the kitchen currently in a state of disrepair, thus preventing access by kitchen employees for easy handwashing.
Correction: Access to the handwashing facility identified above is to be available during all hours of operation.
- Premises - Maintaining Premises - Unnecessary Items and Litter
Observation: Facility is storing unnecessary items to the operation or maintenance of the establishment.
