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.
- Sanitizing Solutions, Testing Devices (repeated violation)
Observation: There is no properly working test kit provided in the facility for monitoring the concentration of the chemical sanitizing solutions.
