Complaint number 14-0395

Complaint was received on Friday, August 8th, 2014. The suspected food item was the spicy chicken deluxe with Chick-Fil-A sauce on the side.

An investigation took place on Tuesday, August 12th, 2014 at 9:30am, with Jason Counselman (Manager on Duty). He walked us through the step-by-step procedure of from the time the raw chicken and produce enter the facility to when it gets served to the customer. He stated that no employees have been sick with stomach or flu issues, only a cold from time to time and have called in when they have a cold.

The frozen chicken is brought into the facitlity and stored in the walk-in freezer. There is a specific area where the spicy chicken is located within the walk-in freezer (right hand corner by the door). The temp of the walk-in freezer was at 0 degrees F. during the time of the investigation. A small amount of chicken is brought out of the walk-in freezer into thawing cabinet #2 (right compartment) as needed. The temperature of the raw chicken in thawing cabinet #2 was at 37 degrees F during the investigation. The raw chicken is kept track of with a charting system. The case number follows the chicken from the walk-in freezer to the thawing cabinet and is written on the chart located outside the thawing cabinet. Once the chicken is taken out of the thawing cabinet, it is placed in the breading cooler. The chicken in the breading cooler was at 39 degrees F during the investigation. The chicken is taken out of the lower portion of the breading cooler in small amounts as needed and placed on the cold holding open cooler at the breading station. The raw chicken area has all yellow items to keep them separate from the rest of the kitchen items. Such as aprons, utensils, etc. Once the chicken is breaded it is put into the hold holding unit kept for only a total of 20 mins. There were no spicy chicken fillets to temp during the time of the investigation, due to it being breakfast time and none being prepped just yet.

The tomatoes, lettuce and sliced cheese are kept in the walk-in cooler. The tomatoes and cheese were  at 39-40 degrees F. Once they are prepared, they are placed in the cold holding unit on the prep line they are all at 41 degrees F. The Chick-Fil-A sauce is in individual packets and shefl stable. There are two pickle slices and a bun included in this sandwich.

Proper handwashing and overall sanitation was discussed with Jason during this investigation.

No further investigation needed. Case closed.
No violation noted during this evaluation.
