- Critical: Food - Potentially Hazardous Food - Hot Holding* (corrected on site)
Observation: Sausage patties are hot holding at improper temperatures.
Correction: Hot hold potentially hazardous food at 135°F or above to inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria.
- Critical: Food - Potentially Hazardous Food - Cold Holding* (corrected on site) (repeated violation)
Observation: Individual cream cheese and butter packets are cold holding at improper temperatures.
Correction: Cold hold potentially hazardous food at 41°F or below to inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria.
- Critical: Date Marking - Ready-to-Eat - Potentially Hazardous Food - Date Marking* (corrected on site)
Observation: The ready-to-eat (RTE) commercially processed food such as sliced turkey and sliced ham in the refrigeration unit were not properly dated for disposition after opening.
Correction: Mark a "consume by" date on commercially processed RTE foods at the time the original container is opened. If the food is held at 41°F or below the food shall be served or sold within 7 calendar days. 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.
- Sanitizing Solutions, Testing Devices
Observation: There is no properly working test kit provided in the facility for monitoring the concentration of the chemical sanitizing solutions.
Correction: Obtain a quaternary ammonium test kit so that employees can accurately monitor the concentration of the sanitizing solutions and maintain them at a safe and effective level.

Observation: Outer opening of the food establishment is not protected against entry of insects and rodents. Door to outside is open.
Correction: Protect the food establishment against the entry of insects and rodents by 1. Filling or closing holes and other gaps along floors, walls, and ceilings, 2. Closed, tight fitting windows, and 3. Solid, self-closing, tight-fitting doors. Insects and rodents are vectors of disease-causing microorganisms which may be transmitted to humans by contamination of food and food-contact surfaces.
