Critical: Cooling* (corrected on site) Observation: Red beans and rice noted not being adequately cooled to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria.
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. Red beans and rice were quickly reheated to 165F. Discussed proper cooling procedure with PIC.
Cooling Methods (corrected on site) Observation: Food containers for cooling food are arranged so as not allow for maximum heat transfer.
Correction: Arrange the food containers in the refrigeration equipment to provide maximum heat transfer through the container walls. Loosely cover or uncover the food if protected from overhead contamination during the cooling period to facilitate heat transfer from the surface of the food.
