Violations: Comments:
A routine inspection was conducted to verify compliance and make recommendations for improvement. Cold hold temperatures must be at 41 F or less. Today the egg batter was found at 50 F. Hot hold device was too small to maintain large quantities of cooked chicken pieces at 140 F. Please fax a copy of a CFM card to the number above within two business days to avoid enforcement action. See also the notes below.
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.
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.
COOLING:
Cool potentially hazardous foods from 140F to 70F within 2 hours and from 70F to 41F or below within 4 hours. 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.
Do not allow food to cool at room temperature. When the temperature of hot food falls below 140F it must be under temperature control to prevent bacterial growth.
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.
Hot Water Heater:
Dishwasher: NA
Hood System: Every 6 Months
Pest Control: Monthly
Consumer Advisory: NA
