  • Critical: Cooling* (corrected on site)
    Observation: The left over chicken breast/nuggets/tenders used to make the chicken salad were not being adequately cooled to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria. Chicken breast and tenders measured at 46'F internally. Chicken was stored in a large plastic container with a lid. PIC discarded the chicken during the inspection.
    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 (corrected on site)
    Observation: The methods used for cooling were not adequate. Observed cooked chicken to be stored in large plastic containers in the walk in cooler. Internal temperatures of chicken was measured at 46'F. PIC stated the chicken is being placed in the containers and the lid is left open to allow for air flow. Condensation observed in the plastic container and the lid was sealed tightly to the plastic container during the inspection. The PIC discarded the chicken during the inspection and proper cooling procedures were discussed.
    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.
  • Equipment - Non-Food Contact Surfaces and Utensils (corrected on site)
    Observation: Surfaces of the following equipment were observed soiled with accumulations of grime and debris: 1. lemon slicer 2. the carrot shredder. PIC had all items cleaned during the inspection.

    Correction: Clean the surface at a frequency necessary to preclude accumulation of soil residues that become encrusted or attract insects and rodents.
  • Critical: Backflow Prevention Device, When Required*
    Observation: Backflow or backsiphonage prevention device not available on threaded faucet as required by law. Additional backflow prevention device is required on the faucet at the mop sink.
    Correction: Provide a backflow or backsiphonage prevention device on all threaded faucets.
  • Physical Facilities in Good Repair
    Observation: The floors throughout the facility are not maintained in good repair. Observed the grout between the floors tiles to be worn in several areas.

  • Physical Facilities - Cleaning Frequency and Restrictions
    Observation: The floors under the 3 compartment sink and along the sides of the fryer noted in need of cleaning.
    Correction: All floors, walls, and ceilings must be cleaned as often as necessary to keep them clean.
