- Critical: Time/Temperature Control for Safety Food, Cold Holding (corrected on site)
Observation: Milk in pump type dispenser at customer coffee counter cold holding at the improper temperature of 47 F. The product was discarded.
Correction: Except during preparation, cooking, or cooling, or when time is used as the public health control as specified under section 3-501.19, and except as specified under paragraph (B) of this section, time/temperature control for safety food shall be maintained at 5ºC (41ºF) or less. Bacterial growth and/or toxin production can occur if time/temperature control for safety food remains in the temperature "Danger Zone" of 5ºC to 57ºC (41ºF to 135ºF) too long. Up to a point, the rate of growth increases with an increase in temperature within this zone. Beyond the upper limit of the optimal temperature range for a particular organism, the rate of growth decreases. Operations requiring heating or cooling of food should be performed as rapidly as possible to avoid the possibility of bacterial growth.
- Food-Contact Surfaces/Cleanability (corrected on site)
Observation: The food-contact surfaces of the milk pump dispensers at the customer prep counter are not accessible for cleaning and inspection by an approved method.
Correction: Multiuse food-contact surfaces shall be: (1) Smooth
- Equipment/Nonfood-Contact Surfaces/Cleaning Frequency
Observation: The nonfood-contact surfaces under and around the four door and two door refrigerators are not cleaned at a frequency necessary to preclude the accumulation of soil residues.
Correction: Nonfood-contact surfaces of equipment shall be cleaned at a frequency necessary to preclude accumulation of soil residues. The presence of food debris or dirt on nonfood contact surfaces may provide a suitable environment for the growth of microorganisms which employees may inadvertently transfer to food. If these areas are not kept clean, they may also provide harborage for insects, rodents, and other pests.
- Intensity/Lighting (corrected on site)
Observation: The light intensity is below 50 foot candles where a food employee is working with food. The lights were found dimmed too low.
Correction: The light intensity shall be at least 540 lux (50 foot candles) at a surface where a food employee is working with food. Lighting levels are specified so that sufficient light is available to enable employees to perform certain functions such as reading labels
