Violation: 2-102.11(C) - Corrected During Inspection Critical The person in charge failed to state the required temperatures for the potentially hazardous food items prepared on-site when reheated. CFM stated reheat temperature of 300F.
The person in charge or certified food manager shall know the following: 1) Cold foods shall be stored at 41F or below, 2) Hot foods shall be held at 135F or above, 3) Foods for cooling shall be rapidly cooled from 135F to 70F within 2 hours and from 70F to 41F or below within a total of 6 hours, and 4) Foods shall be reheated to an internal temperature of above 165F if prepared on site or above 135F if commercially processed.
Comments:
The purpose of today's visit was a critical procedures inspection. All critical violations were corrected during inspection. Thank You.
Please review time and temperatures reminders provided as maintaining foods at proper temperatures limits bacterial growth. Reminder that potentially hazardous foods (time/temperature control for safety food) that is reheated in a microwave oven for hot holding shall be reheated so that all parts of the food reach a minimum temperature of 165°F and the food is rotated or stirred, covered and allowed to stand for 2 minutes after reheating.
Reminders:
It is best to thaw foods under refrigeration. It is easy to forget about food items that are thawing in ambient room temperatures and those items don't thaw evenly.
Food employees must wash hands with soap for at least 20 seconds
BEFORE: food preparation, putting on gloves, working with clean equipment, utensils, unwrapped single-service or single-use items;
AFTER: handling trash, using the restroom, smoking, eating, coughing, sneezing, handling dirty equipment, handling raw meat or poultry;
DURING: food preparation as often as necessary and to prevent cross contamination
** Do not touch food with bare hands. Use utensils such as tongs or deli tissue when possible. Single-use gloves shall be used for only ONE task and used for no other purposes. The single-use gloves shall be discarded when damaged or soiled or when interruptions occur in the operation.
Review the Big 5 food borne illnesses (Salmonella, E. Coli, Shigella, Hepatitis A, and Norovirus) and the symptoms associated with these illnesses (diarrhea, vomiting, severe stomach cramps and/or jaundice). Ensure that all employees, including management, understand reporting, restriction, and exclusion.

This is a complaint inspection at this takeout restaurant. Customer said he ordered a gyro here on 6/24/03 at 7 pm; it was delivered at 7:30 pm and he became ill the following morning at 3 am, 6/25/03. He had nausea, fever and diarrhea; his doctor felt he had a "virus or food poisoning". Manager was not aware of the complaint. The gyro temperature at the outside edge was 75 degrees, internal temp was 84 degrees. The gyros are delivered frozen and cooked on a rotisserie, slices are cut off and served. Manager is cooling and reheating the gyro, but not monitoring the temperatue so the meat may possibly not be brought to the correct temperature either hot or cold. Since the meat is delivered cooked and frozen it should be cooked (the part sliced and served to customer) to at least 165 degrees. And if the gyro is cooked it must be cooled to 41 degrees and reheated to 165 degrees with in a total maximum time (for cooling and reheating) of two hours for reheating and 6 hours for cooling. I will review the specifics for gyros and contact the manager. Holding time and temperature presently are not adequate. Also the gyro cooker does not seem capable of properly heating and holding meat. Discontinue its use until it is working properly. Although I cannot confirm the complaint it is possible that improper cooking-holding-reheating may have causedbacterial growth. I cannot confirm this complaint, however. Close the complaint.
