REMINDERS: DATEMARKING Mark the name and “consume by” date on the container of ready-to-eat (RTE), potentially hazardous food (PHF) at the time of preparation if the food is to be held for more than 24 hours. Similarly, mark a “consume by” date on commercially processed RTE foods (including deli meats) at the time the original container is opened. If the food is held at 41F or below the food shall be served or sold within 7 calendar days, including the prep/open date. Some harmful bacteria continue to grow even at proper refrigeration temperatures so limiting the amount of time in storage limits the amount of grow allowed for these bacteria. HANDWASHING Instruct food employees to clean their hands and exposed portions of their arms immediately before engaging in food preparation including working with exposed food, clean equipment and utensils, unwrapped single-service and single-use articles and during food preparation, as often as necessary to remove soil and contamination and to prevent cross contamination when changing tasks. Ensure all food employees clean their hands and exposed portions of their arms with a cleaning compound in a lavatory by vigorously rubbing together the surfaces of their lathered hands for at least 20 seconds and thoroughly rinsing with clean water. Always wear gloves or use other suitable utensils such as tongs or deli tissue, when handling ready-to-eat food. Minimize bare hand contact with non-ready-to-eat food as well.

This is a complaint investigation in response to alleged glass found in vegetarian sub that was prepared on Thursday, June 22, 2006. According to the complainant, a vegetarian sub was prepared for lunch on Thursday, June 22, 2006 at the Safeway deli. The certified food manager prepared the vegetarian sub, it is a layered sandwich containing ciabatta bread (complainant requested multi-grain bread instead), ranch spread, olive mix, pepperoncini, green leaf lettuc, pickles, havarti, tomatoes, and avacado. The sandwich is made using a layering process where the ingredients are placed on the sandwich one at a time. The certified food manager did not observe any glass placed on the sandwich during the preparation. Investigation on-site revealed that all light shields are in place in the deli and there is no evidence of broken glass at the sandwich prep station. The covers over top the food prep station are made of plastic and are missing pieces on the edges. The store manager reports that she has requested new cover tops, but since they were custom made, she will seek out a new source to craft new lids. Discontinue use of these lids until suitable smooth, easily cleanable covers are found. Based on the evidence available during today's investigation, the complaint cannot be confirmed. If you have any questions or need more information, please contact me at 703-246-8450.
