  • Critical: Cooling* (corrected on site)
    Observation: Observed oatmeal in reach in cooler prepared for breakfast this morning noted not being adequately cooled to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria. Temperature taken at 5 p.m.
    Correction: Cool potentially hazardous foods from 135°F to 70°F within 2 hours and within a total of 6 hours from 135°F to 41°F. 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.

    Observation: Observed 3 containers of milk and hard boiled eggs cold holding at improper temperatures. Milk had not been used within last 4 hours. Eggs had been hard-boiled several days ago. Milk was on bottom self in reach in cooler. Items on top 2 shelves in reach in cooler were at 41 degrees or below. Ensure good circulation of cold air in unit by not restricting air flow. PIC stated that unit had been serviced earlier in the week and that the technician had indicated that the outside temperature gauge was not working.
    Correction: Discard the food and ensure that potentially hazardous foods for cold holding are maintained at 41°F or below to inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria.
