Comments:
The purpose of this visit was to conduct a routine inspection. CFM is absent and as a result facility is required to CLOSE. Contact EHS at number provided to schedule reopening inspection COOKING, REHEATING & HOLDING TEMPERATURES: Review cooking, reheating, and holding temperatures with food service employees COOKING: Poultry 165F; Ground Beef & Comminuted Meats 155F; Steaks, Seafood, Pork, and Raw Shell Eggs 145F REHEATING: PHFs prepared on site 165F, Commercially Processed Foods 140F HOLDING: Hot 140F+, Cold 41F- DO NOT let food sit in the “DANGER ZONE” (41F-140F) for extended periods of time. FOOD STORAGE: Food shall be stored in the refrigeration and freezer units according to cook temperature to prevent contamination. Raw food products requiring higher cook temperatures shall be stored below raw food products requiring lower cook temperatures. BOTTOM SHELF – 165F Raw Poultry MIDDLE SHELF – 155F Raw Ground Beef, Sausage, & Other Comminuted Meats TOP SHELF – 145F Whole Intact Steaks, Pork, Seafood, Raw Shell Eggs It is recommended that raw animal products be stored completely separate from raw vegetables, cooked animal products and other non-animal products, such as noodles & rice. If these foods are not stored on a separate shelf from the above listed raw animal products they must be stored above all raw animal products.
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 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, including the prep/open date. 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 REMINDER: 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, and 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 task.
