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.

Correction: Seal the unit to adjoining equipment or walls since it is exposed to spillage or seepage.

Kitchenware and Tableware (corrected on site) Observation: Observed several stacks of plates, near the sandwich prep cooler, were stored with the food or lip-contact surface facing upward. PIC stored the plates correctly. Correction: Store tableware with food or lip-contact surface facing downward to prevent contamination prior to use.

Correction: All floors, walls, and ceilings must be cleaned as often as necessary to keep them clean. Cleaning of the physical facilities is an important measure in ensuring the protection and sanitary preparation of food.
