Observation: Wiping cloths improperly stored between use.
Correction: Ensure wet wiping cloths are stored in a chemical sanitizer at the proper concentration between use.
- Cooling Methods (corrected on site)
Observation: The methods used for cooling were not adequate. Beef piled too high/ thick in pans
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.

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.
- Temperature Measuring Devices (repeated violation)
Observation: There was no temperature measuring device located in the refrigerator units.
Correction: Provide a temperature measuring device in all hot or cold holding equipment used to store potentially hazardous foods so that employees can routinely monitor the ambient air temperature.
- Sanitizing Solutions, Testing Devices (corrected on site)
