- Critical: Cooling*
Observation: The following potentially hazardous foods were noted not being adequately cooled to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria: pulled pork cooling from the night before (48F) and pulled beef (50F) prepared 03/18.
Correction: The manager voluntarily discarded the food products. The manager and staff will keep temperature logs of the cooling process for their meats and salsa to ensure that foods are cooled from 135°F to 70°F within 2 hours and within a total of 6 hours from 135°F to 41°F. For ambient cooling, foods are to be cooled to 41F within 4 hours. The manager will email the health department copies of the logs for the next two weeks.
