    Correction: Cold hold potentially hazardous food at 41°F or below to inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria.

    Observation: The prepared ready-to-eat (RTE) chicken strips and tuna salad in the refrigeration unit is not properly dated for disposition ( the TCS food items were observed dated 8/1/15 and a container in the front undercounter cooler were observed dated with an expiration date of 7/30/15).

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.
