Inspection date

Type

  • Critical: Food - Potentially Hazardous Food - Cold Holding*
    Observation: Partially cooked chicken was cold holding at improper temperatures. (112°F)
    Correction: Relocate food to a refrigeration unit that is capable of maintaining food storage at 41°F or below.
  • Critical: Date Marking - Ready-to-Eat - Potentially Hazardous Food - Date Marking* (repeated violation)
    Observation: The prepared ready-to-eat (RTE) egg rolls and noodles are not being date labeled.
    Correction: Mark the name and "consume by" date on the container of RTE foods at the time of preparation if the food is to be held for more than 24 hours. 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.
  • Handwashing - Using a Handwashing Lavatory (repeated violation)
