Violation: 3-501.16(A)(2)(a) - Corrected During Inspection Critical The following food item(s) were observed cold holding at improper temperatures using a calibrated food temperature measuring device: chicken 52F, cut melon 50F.
Potentially hazardous foods (time/temperature control for safety food) shall be held cold at a temperature of 41F or below unless the permit holder is using "time as public health control" as specified under 3-501.19. CFM is aware of cold holding temperature requirement and turned down the temperature on cold holding tables. If cold items can not be maintained at 41F or below, the CFM shall ensure that employees are discarding foods after lunch (11:30am-2:30pm) and dinner (5:30pm-9pm). For today, ensure that employees are discarding all cold items at the end of lunch.
Comments:
The purpose of today's visit was to conduct a routine inspection. Foods at the buffet are informally using "Time as a Public Health" control, discarding all foods at the end of lunch and dinner service, which lasts no more than 4 hours.
During today's visit, it was noted that the lamps above food items at the buffet may be elevating the temperature of the cold foods The CFM was instructed to keep a temperature log, if foods at the buffet continue to be observed at 41F or above, steps should be taken to insure that employees are cooling the foods to 41F before placing at the buffet and that a small quantity be placed in each pan.
During the inspection, the CFM stated that all foods are made in small amount and pans are replenished when needed, and that all foods at the buffet are made daily with no leftover being kept, from lunch to dinner or from one day to the next.
Please contact me if you have any questions. Thank you.
