Routine
Notes: Went over with the manager the proper ways to cool food. Suggested to manager that she get food safety training/certification. Contact the health department for upcoming training options. Very clean and organized facility.
Critical: Demonstration of Knowledge* Observation: The person in charge failed to state the required temperatures and holding times for the following conditions of potentially hazardous food: (1) Cooling and (2) Reheating.
Correction: Ensure the designated person in charge (PIC) is knowledgeable about foodborne disease prevention, Hazardous Analysis Critical Control Point principles and Regulation requirements. The PIC should be prepared to recognize conditions that may contribute to foodborne illness. The PIC must also recognize conditions that fail to comply with Regulation requirements and be authorized to take the appropriate preventive and corrective actions to ensure that the Regulations' objectives are fulfilled.
Critical: Cooling* Observation: Gravy 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.
Cooling Methods Observation: The methods used for cooling were not adequate.
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.
Temperature - Food Temperature Measuring Devices - Provided Observation: The person in charge could not provide a temperature measuring device for measuring the internal temperature of food. The only themometer onsite was an infared thermometer that measures surface temperatures only.
Correction: Obtain at least one food temperature measuring device so employees can properly monitor the internal temperature of food items in the establishment.
Handwashing - Using a Handwashing Lavatory - No Other Purpose (corrected on site) Observation: The handwash station on the line is being used to clean equipment and utensils.
