REMINDER and RECOMMENDATIONS: 1) Check the sanitizer using test strips. 2) Datermarking 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 growth allowed for these bacteria. ** Some harmful bacteria continue to grow even at proper refrigeration temperatures. Limiting the amount of time in storage limits the amount of growth allowed for these bacteria.** Mark the “consume by” date on the container of potentially hazardous foods (PHF) commercially processed (including deli meats) or made in-house ready-to-eat (RTE) food items.
