Risk Factor
These good practices and conditions are noted: the Person-in-charge (PIC) is certified as a food safety instructor
Critical: Package Integrity* (corrected on site) Observation: Two cans of tomato paste are dented on seems and/or rims.
Correction: Segregate cans that are dented on the rims or seam (and other damaged products) from usable products until returned or discard. The PIC moved the cans to the "dented can" area.
Critical: Date Marking - Ready-to-Eat - Potentially Hazardous Food - Date Marking* (corrected on site) Observation: An open container of sour cream in the Koch unit was not date marked for disposition.
Correction: All ready-to-eat (RTE) potentially hazardous foods (PHF) must be dated when opened or made if the food is kept more than 24 hours. Food must be used or discarded in 7 days (counting the day prepared as Day 1) or less. Store the food at 41°F or below and serve or discard by the "consume by" date. Some harmful bacteria continue to grow even at refrigeration temperatures: limiting the amount of time in storage limits bacterial growth.
Critical: Ready-to-Eat - Potentially Hazardous Food - Disposition* (corrected on site) Observation: Tomato paste and canned tomatoes in the Traulsen unit were opened and date-marked for over 7 days
Correction: Discard the food at this time and ensure all prepared RTE food is served, sold or discarded by the "consume by" date, allowing no more than 7 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. The PIC discarded the foods.
Critical: Sanitizer - Criteria/Chemicals for food contact* (corrected on site) Observation: The chlorine sanitizer solution concentration measures in excess of 200 ppm.
Correction: Mix chlorine sanitizer solution to a concentration of 50-100 ppm. The operator diluted the solutions to an acceptable concentration.
