November 18, 2008 (Follow-up)

Comments:
The purpose of this visit was to conduct a follow-up inspection to monitor temperature logs for making yogurt. All previous violations are not monitored during this inspection.
No yogurt has been made since the last inspection.
When yogurt is made again, please monitor temperatures every hour after it has been taken off of the stove and until it reaches 41 degrees F.
The log should look something like this:
Yogurt making from milk Date - November 20th
Time Where Temperature Anything added or has it been moved?
10 AM on shelf ___ degrees F taken off of stove, placed on shelf
11 AM on shelf ___ degrees F
12 PM on shelf ___ degrees F added commercial yogurt, placed in refrigerator
1 PM in refrigerator ___ degrees F put into smaller batches in refrigerator
2 PM in refrigerator ___ degrees F
3 PM in refrigerator ___ degrees F
Cooling Reminder
Foods must drop from 135F to 70F within 2 hours and from 70F to 41F within 4 hours. Start the clock when the temperature reaches 135 degrees F. When you take it off the stove, the temperature may be much much higher. At temperatures above 135 degrees F, most bacteria do not grow. It is important to reduce the temperature in this way to prevent bacteria from growing and making people sick.
When you have filled out this temperature log, please fax it to the health department to my attention.
Thank you.

Violations: Comments:
The purpose of this visit was to conduct a critical procedures inspection.
Reminders and Recommendations
1) Sanitize surfaces frequently especially after handling raw meat.
2) Obtain a thermometer to record time and temperature of cooling milk. Record temperature every hour. When the temperature is 135 degrees F, you have 2 hours to cool it to 70 degrees F. If it does not reach this point, discard. Keep recording temperature in the walk-in freezer after yogurt is mixed. You have 4 hours to get it from 70 degrees F to 41 degrees F. If it does not reach 41 degrees F, discard. To facilitate cooling you may need to portion the yogurt into smaller containers. Keep this log for at least 3 days of making yogurt for inspector to review.
3) **Do NOT allow food items to sit out at room temperature during busy times because it is convenient. Potentially hazardous food items must be held HOT at or above 135F or COLD at or below 41F.
4) Food storage
TOP SHELF: All pre-cooked and ready-to-eat foods (e.g. vegetables, noodles)
