Violation: 0820 - Corrected During Inspection Critical Milk (44F) in the refrigerator is at an improper cold holding at temperature.
Relocate food to a refrigeration unit that is capable of maintaining food storage at 41F or below. The refrigerator had been open recently to put up the weekly food supply. The refrigerator was adjusted to the coldest setting to cool the food to 41F. Please continue to monitor the refrigerator temperature closely to maintain potentially hazardous foods at 41F or colder.
Comments:
The facility, dishes, and utensils are very clean and organized. All cooked foods are heated to acceptable temperatures. The cook correctly identified the proper concentration for sanitizer solution, and confidently located the sanitizer test kit and food thermometer. She was observed washing her hands correctly (several times) and using barriers (such as gloves and spoons) when handling ready-to-eat foods. Labelled containers of chemicals are stored away from foods. Commercially prepared, fully cooked items (purchased from a grocery store) are used for hot foods.

March 12, 2007 (Routine)

Comments:
No violations observed. The facility procures food from reputable sources. Foods are prepared from commercially frozen foods or from canned foods. With the exception of milk, no Potentially Hazardous Foods are held in the refrigerator. Wet wiping cloths are stored in a sanitizing solution. The facility is in good condition and is maintained clean.
