Dish Machine observed wash at 160, rinse 192. - The drawer refrigerator unit may need adjusted or repaired. The American cheese in it was cold holding at 43 degrees.
- Critical: Cooling*
Observation: Chili noted not being adequately cooled to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria.
Correction: Cool potentially hazardous foods prepared from ingredients at ambient temperature to 41°F or below within 4 hours. 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.
- Critical: Date Marking - Ready-to-Eat - Potentially Hazardous Food - Date Marking*
Observation: The prepared ready-to-eat (RTE) food in the refrigeration unit is not properly dated for disposition.
Correction: Mark the name and "consume by" date on the container of RTE foods at the time of preparation if the food is to be held for more than 24 hours. 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.
- Physical Facilities - Cleaning Frequency and Restrictions
Observation: Facility noted in need of cleaning.
Correction: All floors, walls, and ceilings must be cleaned as often as necessary to keep them clean. Cleaning of the physical facilities is an important measure in ensuring the protection and sanitary preparation of food.
