Inspection findings

Inspection date

Type

Prep unit unplugged-used for prep table. Please keep personal food segregated from facility food items and labeled "personal". Whirlpool temperatures taken twice daily with infrared gun. Lighting in grill area acceptable providing all kitchen lights are turned on. Discussed cooling of taco meat and hot dog chili.
  • Critical: Date Marking - Ready-to-Eat - Potentially Hazardous Food - Date Marking* (corrected on site)
    Observation: The ready-to-eat (RTE) commercially processed deli meat 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 RTE foods are thawed. 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 and Utensils - Durability
    Observation: The reused food containers containing hot dog chili are not designed and constructed to be durable.
    Correction: Remove this item from the facility and replace with an approved unit as needed. Equipment and utensils must be capable of maintaining their original characteristics in order to be easily cleaned and to prevent contamination of food.

    Correction: Provide at least 50 foot candles at a surface where a food employee is working with food or working with utensils or equipment such as knives, slicers, grinders, or saws where employee safety is a factor
