The mistaken use of food from an unlabeled container could result in chemical poisoning.
- Utensils - In-Use - Between-Use Storage (corrected on site)
Observation: In-use utensils improperly stored between use.
Correction: Store in-use utensils or dispensing utensils in one of the following manners: 1) In the food with their handles above the top of the food and the container. 2) In food that is not potentially hazardous with their handles above the top of the food within containers or equipment that can be closed. 3) On a clean portion of the food preparation table or cooking equipment only if the in-use utensil and the food-contact surface of the food preparation table or cooking equipment are cleaned and sanitized every 4 hours. 4) In running water of sufficient velocity to flush particulates to the drain. 5) In a clean, protected location if the utensils are used only with a food that is not potentially hazardous. 6) In a container of water if the water is maintained at a temperature of at least 135°F.
- Cooling Methods
Observation: The methods used for cooling were not adequate (sausage).
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.
- Critical: Food - Potentially Hazardous Food - Cold Holding* (corrected on site)
Observation: Gravy and pulled pork are cold holding at improper temperatures.
Correction: Discard the food and ensure that potentially hazardous foods for cold holding are maintained 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) (repeated violation)
Observation: The ready-to-eat (RTE) commercially processed deli turkey, deli cheese, pulled pork, gravy, and hot dogs 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.
- Equipment - Good Repair and Proper Adjustment
Observation: The "Kenmore (left)" unit was observed in a state of disrepair and damaged.
Correction: Repair the "Kenmore (left)" to restore a state of condition that allows for proper operation, accuracy, functioning, maintenance, and cleanability per Part IV, Article 1 and 2 of this chapter.

Correction: Maintain nonfood-contact surfaces of equipment clean.
- Handwashing Lavatory, Water Temperature, and Flow
Observation: Water from the handwashing sink in the kitchen was measured at a temperature less than 100°F.
Correction: Make necessary adjustments to valves and lines serving the handsink to provide water of at least 100°F to allow more effective removal of fatty soils encountered in kitchens.

- Premises - Maintaining Premises - Unnecessary Items and Litter (repeated violation)
Observation: Facility is storing unnecessary items to the operation or maintenance of the establishment.
