- Critical: Date Marking - Ready-to-Eat - Potentially Hazardous Food - Date Marking* (corrected on site) (repeated violation)
Observation: The prepared ready-to-eat (RTE) pork in the refrigeration unit is not properly dated for disposition.

If the food is held at 41°F or below the food shall be served or sold within 7 calendar days.
