Do not use newspapers or menus as tray liners for food storage. Replace the light bulb in the walk-in cooler. Utensil containers need to be cleaned periodically.

  • Critical: Date Marking - Ready-to-Eat; Potentially Hazardous Food; Date Marking* (corrected on site) (repeated violation)
    Observation: The prepared ready-to-eat (RTE) egg rolls in the refrigeration unit is not properly dated for disposition.

If the food is held at 41°F or below the food shall be served or sold within 7 calendar days. Some harmful bacteria continue to grow even at refrigeration temperatures so limiting the amount of time in storage limits the amount of growth allowed for these bacteria.
