Comments:
Observed good cooling procedure, grilled chicken (197 degrees) was cooled on tray in freezer to 41 degrees in <1 hour.

April 16, 2009 (Risk Factor Assessment)

Comments:
Sliced tomato and sliced cheese at sandwich prep table are in container on ice. Both are 45 degrees. Employee states that containers are depleted within 1 hour and old product is not carried over. Since this procedure does not keep the tomatoes or cheese <41 degrees, you should use time as a public health control-you need written procedure and method of monitoring time. Discard tomatoes or cheese that are held >6 hours (if temperature is 41 degrees or less at beginning and doesn't exceed 70 degrees). Need ASSE1022 (atmospheric backflow prevention device) installed on carbonators. Lemons used for lemonade were not washed before cutting. You need to wash produce prior to cutting or using unless delivered "prewashed".

• 0800 - Corrected During Inspection Critical Large lexan container of chicken nuggets and tenders cooked 12/16 were 50-51 degrees in walk-in refrigerator.
  Corrected by discarding. Cool hot PHF/TES from 135 to 70 degrees in 2 hours or less-use shallow pans that are not tightly covered, metal cools better than plastic; finish cooling to 41 degrees or less in next 6 hours. Use your thermometers to monitor cooling process-once food is at 41 degrees you can place it in storage container.
