- Critical: Temperature, Cooking - Raw Animal Foods* (corrected on site)
Observation: Commercially made Salisbury steak in gravy was being heated in a crock pot for lunch service. The product had been purchased frozen and an afternoon-shift employee put it into the refrigerator yesterday, to thaw overnight for today's consumption. Morning-shift employees understood that the product was pre-cooked and so their goal was to heat it to serving temperature. There was discussion with the EHS about the hazards of heating food using only crock pots. Crock pots heat food slowly, so it can remain in the danger zone too long. Instead food should be heated "rapidly" in microwave, in oven, or on stove top. After that it's OK to use crock pot for hot holding. Then the product's packaging was found. The steaks were not labeled "pre-cooked
Correction: instead, the manufacturer instructs consumers to "cook thoroughly to 165°F" indicating that the product must be actually cooked (not just heated to serving temperature) before it is served.
- Critical: Ready-to-Eat - Potentially Hazardous Food - Disposition* (corrected on site)
Observation: A package of commercially-prepared ready-to-eat (RTE) food (bologna) in the refrigeration unit was not discarded by the "consume by" date. Package bore handwritten date "11/05
Correction: if that was the date on which the bologna was opened, it should have been discarded by 11/12.

- Pests - Controlling Pests*
Observation: Premises are not being routinely inspected for evidence of pests. Mouse traps and bait stations were observed in the facility, but also observed evidence suggesting past activity by mice, such as on shelves and floor of the dry-food-storage closet.
Correction: Inspect premises on routine basis for the evidence of pests. Clean the dry-storage closet's floor and shelves to remove mouse evidence. Monitor the entire facility, especially this area, frequently, to ensure that pest control measures are effective (no mice returning).
- Critical: Sanitizer - Criteria/Chemicals for food contact* (corrected on site)
Observation: Sanitizing Agent being applied to food contact surfaces does not meet the requirements of 40 CFR 180.940 -- chlorine in wiping cloths pan exceeded 200 PPM.
Correction: Utilize only sanitizing agent that meet the requirements of 40 CFR 180.940 when applying to food contact surfaces. XXX XXX The sanitizer was discarded and a fresh batch was made up

This inspection was received by Doreatha Brooks.
- Critical: Date Marking - Ready-to-Eat - Potentially Hazardous Food - Date Marking* (corrected on site)
Observation: Assorted ready-to-eat (RTE) foods (example: baked beans
Correction: open package of commercially made lunchmeat) in the refrigeration unit were not properly dated for disposition. Labels were lacking or not current.
- Single-Service and Single-Use Articles, Use Limitation (corrected on site)
Observation: Single-service items (plastic bags as from grocery store) were observed reused for the storage of food.
Correction: Discontinue the reuse of single-use containers for food storage. Provide approved reusable food storage containers designed for your food storage needs.
- Handwashing - Using a Handwashing Lavatory - No Other Purpose (corrected on site)
Observation: The handwash station beside the 3-vat sink was being used as a dump station for used wiping-cloths sanitizer solution.
Correction: The handwash facility identified above is to be used for washing hands only.
- Critical: Pests-Controlling Pests* (corrected on site)
Observation: Evidence suggesting the presence of mice (apparent mouse droppings) was observed on shelves in the dry-storage closet adjacent to the kitchen, where cookies and cereal were stored. Closet contained mouse traps (no mice seen on/in the traps).
Correction: The presence of insects, rodents, and other pests shall be controlled to minimize their presence on the premises by using methods such as trapping devices or other methods as required. The management agreed to request a return visit from their regularly scheduled pest control service.

- Critical: Date Marking - Ready-to-Eat - Potentially Hazardous Food - Date Marking* (corrected on site)

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: Warewashing - Manual & Mechanical Warewashing Equipment, Chemical Sanitization - Temperature, pH, Concentration & Hardness* (corrected on site)
Observation: Chlorine sanitizing solution used was not at an acceptable concentration.
Correction: Adjust the chlorine sanitizing solution to a level of at least 100 parts per million when the pH is at 10 or less and the water temperature is 55°F.
- Plumbing System Maintained in Good Repair
Observation: Plumbing connections under the 3-vat sink sink are leaking.
