- Critical: Cooling* (corrected on site) (repeated violation)
Observation: blanched bacon (48.8-58.8F after 20hrs) noted not being adequately cooled to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria.
Correction: Cool potentially hazardous foods from 135°F to 70°F within 2 hours and within a total of 6 hours from 135°F to 41°F. A longer time for cooling allows an ideal situation for bacterial growth. This has been shown to be the major contributing factor in many foodborne illnesses. Food in question was disposed of immediately. Alternate cooling procedure was discussed.
- Cooling Methods (repeated violation)
Observation: The methods used for cooling were not adequate. Bacon procedure is in adequeate to cool food in the required time.
Correction: Cool foods by the following methods: 1. Placing food in shallow pans 2. Separating food into smaller thinner portions 3. Using rapid chill cooling equipment 4. Stirring the food in a container placed in an ice water bath 5. Using containers that facilitate heat transfer 6. Adding ice as an ingredient 7. Any other method that can effectively accomplish cooling.
- Equipment - Food Contact Surfaces, Nonfood Contact Surfaces, and Utensils (repeated violation)
