Inspection date

Type

Top of prep unit and under counter refrigerator are holding food at 41 F or below. Time control is being used for flats of eggs out at room temperature.
No violation noted during this evaluation.
09/25/2015Follow-up
  • Critical: Food - Packaged and Unpackaged - Separation, Packaging, and Segregation* (corrected on site)
    Observation: Raw foods of animal origin stored over ready-to-eat (RTE) food in the refrigeration unit. Raw steak stored over RTE food in the back 3-door refrigerator.
    Correction: Separate raw foods of animal origin during storage, preparation, holding, and display from raw RTE food including foods such as fish for sushi or molluscan shellfish, or other raw RTE food such as vegetables, and cooked RTE food. Raw steak moved to the proper location during inspection.
  • Utensils - In-Use - Between-Use Storage
    Observation: In-use utensils improperly stored between use. Knives stored in unclean location between equipment.
    Correction: Store in-use utensils or dispensing utensils in one of the following manners: 1) In the food with their handles above the top of the food and the container. 2) In food that is not potentially hazardous with their handles above the top of the food within containers or equipment that can be closed. 3) On a clean portion of the food preparation table or cooking equipment only if the in-use utensil and the food-contact surface of the food preparation table or cooking equipment are cleaned and sanitized every 4 hours. 4) In running water of sufficient velocity to flush particulates to the drain. 5) In a clean, protected location if the utensils are used only with a food that is not potentially hazardous. 6) In a container of water if the water is maintained at a temperature of at least 135°F.
  • Critical: Food - Potentially Hazardous Food - Cold Holding* (corrected on site) (repeated violation)
    Observation: Cold holding at improper temperatures: the 2-door under counter egg refrigerator and the top of the prep unit are not holding food at 41 F or below. 2-door under counter refrig - salsa 46 F, mashed potatoes 46 F, gravy 45 F. Top of prep unit - cut tomatoes 45 F, ham 44 F. Creamer in new prep unit is stacked too high in the pan and creamers on top are as high as 48 F. 2 flats of shell eggs out at room temperature are 73 F.
    Correction: Cold hold potentially hazardous food at 41°F or below to inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria. TCS food stored in 2-door under counter refrigerator was moved to another unit during inspection. Unit is holding 45 F ambient air temperature so shell eggs will stay in this refrigerator. Time control will be used for TCS food stored on top of the prep unit. Creamers that were stacked too high on top of the prep unit were moved and placed in prep refrigerator. Shell eggs discarded during inspection - suggest using time control for these.
  • Critical: Date Marking - Ready-to-Eat - Potentially Hazardous Food - Date Marking* (corrected on site)
    Observation: The prepared ready-to-eat (RTE) mashed potatoes, gravy and salsa in the refrigeration unit are 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.
  • Critical: Date Marking - Ready-to-Eat - Potentially Hazardous Food - Date Marking* (corrected on site)
    Observation: The ready-to-eat (RTE) commercially processed sliced ham, sliced turkey, sliced tomatoes and diced ham in the refrigeration unit were not properly dated for disposition after opening.
    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.
  • Temperature Measuring Devices
    Observation: There was no temperature measuring device located in the glass door refrigerator or the 2-door under counter refrigerator beneath the glass door refrigerator.
    Correction: Provide a temperature measuring device in all hot or cold holding equipment used to store potentially hazardous foods so that employees can routinely monitor the ambient air temperature.
09/17/2015Routine

    Observation: Cold holding at improper temperatures: Ham and turkey are still being held on the bottom left side of the prep unit which does not hold food at 41 F or below. Ham 45 F, turkey 44 F.
    Correction: Discard the food and ensure that potentially hazardous foods for cold holding are maintained at 41°F or below to inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria. Ham and turkey discarded during inspection. Bottom right side of unit holds food at 41 F or below so PIC will notify employees and put a sign on unit that all TCS food must be stored on the right side of this unit.
