- Critical: Time/Temperature Control for Safety Food, Cold Holding (corrected on site)
Observation: Cream cheese, butter, milk and cut melons cold holding at improper temperatures in the display unit. Thermometer reading 55 F. Food was discarded.
Correction: Except during preparation, cooking, or cooling, or when time is used as the public health control as specified under section 3-501.19, and except as specified under paragraph (B) of this section, time/temperature control for safety food shall be maintained at 5ºC (41ºF) or less. Bacterial growth and/or toxin production can occur if time/temperature control for safety food remains in the temperature "Danger Zone" of 5ºC to 57ºC (41ºF to 135ºF) too long. Up to a point, the rate of growth increases with an increase in temperature within this zone. Beyond the upper limit of the optimal temperature range for a particular organism, the rate of growth decreases. Operations requiring heating or cooling of food should be performed as rapidly as possible to avoid the possibility of bacterial growth.
- Nonfood-Contact Surfaces (repeated violation)
Observation: The nonfood-contact surfaces of the beverage crates used for storage are not free of unnecessary ledges, projections, and crevices, and/or designed and constructed to be easily cleanable or maintained.
Correction: Nonfood-contact surfaces shall be free of unnecessary ledges, projections, and crevices, and designed and constructed to allow easy cleaning and to facilitate maintenance. Hard-to-clean areas could result in the attraction and harborage of insects and rodents and allow the growth of foodborne pathogenic microorganisms. Well-designed equipment enhances the ability to keep nonfood-contact surfaces clean.
- Equipment/Good Repair and Proper Adjustment
Observation: The Display cooler is not maintained in a state of repair and condition that meets the requirements (not maintaining an ambient air temperature of 41 F or below.
Correction: Equipment shall be maintained in a state of repair and condition that meets the requirements specified under Parts 4-1 [Materials for Construction and Repair] and 4-2 [Design and Construction]. Proper maintenance of equipment to manufacturer specifications helps ensure that it will continue to operate as designed. Failure to properly maintain equipment could lead to violations of the associated requirements of the Code that place the health of the consumer at risk. For example, refrigeration units in disrepair may no longer be capable of properly cooling or holding potentially hazardous (time/temperature control for safety) foods at safe temperatures.
- Handwashing Sink/Using/Operation and Maintenance (corrected on site) (repeated violation)
Observation: The handwashing sink located in the back kitchen area is not maintained so that it is accessible at all times for employee use.
Correction: A handwashing sink shall be maintained so that it is accessible at all times for employee use. Facilities must be maintained in a condition that promotes handwashing and restricted for that use. Convenient accessibility of a handwashing facility encourages timely handwashing which provides a break in the chain of contamination from the hands of food employees to food or food-contact surfaces.
- Hand Drying Provision (corrected on site)
Observation: Each handwashing sink is not provided with individual, disposable towels
Correction: a continuous towel system that supplies the user with a clean towel
- Cleaning, Frequency and Restrictions
Observation: The floors under equipment are not cleaned as often as necessary to keep them clean.
