COS - today's items were returned to the cooler. Note - may also suggest time as a control on these items if icy water in the salad bar is not ideal. Please note the following directions if you would like to set this up, and email with questions any time. If you would like to set up time as a control for your items in the display case, please be aware that you will need to have written procedures on hand that you are able to provide during an inspection, time/temp stamps on all items with time as a control being used, and the employees must be trained in using time as a control. Written Procedures: The written procedures must be guidelines on how the time as a control is handled, and what items it is used on. For example: "We have items that we put into our non-refrigerated display case for sale that we are using time as a control on. We take the temperature when the items are removed from the refrigerator and write down the time and temperature of when they are removed. We then hold the products for a maximum of four hours inside of our display case. At the end of the four hour time period, they are either sold out or discarded if there is any left." Time/Temp Stamps: Please be sure you have a log stating what temperature the items were when they were removed from the cooler, and what time they were removed. Every time fresh items are put out, this log would need to be updated with the new information. You can have a little sticker with it written down on the individual containers, on the pans and plates the items are set into, or on a master sheet near the display case. Employees: Your employees will need to be trained in time as a control in knowledgeable in how it works so that they know how to handle it. They need to know to always temp and time the items and document it so that the information is available as the food code requires. This is also important so that when an inspector comes in, if they take a temperature and ask an employee if it is under time as a control, the employee will have the knowledge to explain your procedures on the items with the time as a control in place.
