- Critical: Food - Packaged and Unpackaged - Separation, Packaging, and Segregation* (corrected on site)
Observation: One carton of raw shell eggs is stored over ready-to-eat (RTE) food in the refrigeration unit.
Correction: Separate raw foods of animal origin during storage, preparation, holding, and display to prevent accidental contamination of RTE food such as vegetables, and cooked RTE food. The facility manager moved the carton of eggs to the bottom shelf, with the other egg cartons.
- Cooling Methods (corrected on site)
Observation: The methods used for cooling were not very effective: the lid on the Waldorf salad hinders the cooling process..
Correction: Cool foods by the following methods: 1. Placing food in shallow pans 2. Separating food into smaller thinner portions 3. Using rapid chill cooling equipment 4. Stirring the food in a container placed in an ice water bath 5. Using containers that facilitate heat transfer 6. Adding ice as an ingredient 7. Any other method that can effectively accomplish cooling. Cool food prepared at ambient temperature by venting or removing the lid during the cooling process.
- Critical: Ready-to-Eat - Potentially Hazardous Food - Disposition* (corrected on site)
Observation: The vegetable soup is dated "4/28". Today, May 12, exceeds the 7 days allowed for using or discarding ready-to-eat (RTE) foods.
Correction: Discard the open and prepared RTE food 7 days after opening or preparing. Count the day prepared or opened as Day 1. 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. The facility manager discarded the soup.
- Warewashing Machines, Flow Pressure Device
Observation: There is no pressure gauge installed at the hot water supply line immediately before entering the warewashing machine to permit monitoring the water pressure in pounds per square inch, (psi).
Correction: Install a pressure gauge, properly located immediately before hot water enters the sanitizing compartment of the warewashing machine, to permit monitoring the water pressure. The data plate indicated the water should enter at 20 psi. Please install during the Summer and contact me when done.
