Small make table has marginal temps. Service tech has been called. Unit had an air temp of 42.2-44 F. We discussed cooling of chicken roll ups. Temperature will rise during the preparation of such a product. Take steps to cool quickly after assembly. Roll ups were still 47 F. These were removed from a deep pan to a flat tray. Chicken salad was also found with higher than 41 F. It was spread out onto flat tray. Salmon may be cooked to order but until you have the parasite destruction information from your vendor do not serve it undercooked. Get this information as soon as possible and keep on file.
- Critical: Food - Packaged and Unpackaged - Separation, Packaging, and Segregation* (corrected on site)
Observation: Raw beef stored over cooked turkey.
Correction: Store ready to eat foods above raw meats.
- Critical: Cooling* (corrected on site)
Observation: Pulled chicken not being adequately cooled to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria. Found in a deep lexan at 84.5 F. Two hours may have been exceeded.
Correction: Cool potentially hazardous foods from 135°F to 70°F within 2 hours and within a total of 6 hours from 135°F to 41°F. A longer time for cooling allows an ideal situation for bacterial growth. This has been shown to be the major contributing factor in many foodborne illnesses. PIC discarded.
- Critical: Toxics - Common Name/working Containers of Toxics* (corrected on site)
Observation: Working containers of cleaner was not properly labeled.
Correction: Working containers of toxic items are to be properly labeled with contents. Identification of these containers with the common name of the material helps prevent the dangerous misuse of the contents.

PIC was able to answer questions about employee health. Unfrozen salmon was found in vacuum sealed bags. This is to be corrected by removing from vacuum bags upon delivery since you do not have a freezer. This is a repeat request. Fish naturally may have botulism spores and by keeping them in a vacuum sealed bag give it ample time to produce toxin. Remember lids and straws are required for personal drinks. If you allow customers to order undercooked salmon you must have written information from the vendor on how the salmon is raised. If farm raised it also must be pellet fed. If wild caught it has to be frozen by the vendor at conditions that destroy parasites and they must provide you with this information. Permit may be issued.
- Food Storage Containers - Identified with Common Name of Food
Observation: Unlabeled food containers.(lemon in squeeze bottle)
Correction: Label working containers with the common name of its contents. Consumers may be allergic to certain foods or ingredients. The mistaken use of an ingredient when the consumer has requested that it not be used may result in severe medical consequences. Liquid foods and granular foods may resemble cleaning compounds. The mistaken use of food from an unlabeled container could result in chemical poisoning.
- Critical: Food - Potentially Hazardous Food - Cold Holding* (corrected on site)
Observation: Cooked red onions were found at 49 F inside make table nested on top of raw onion pan.
Correction: Cool quickly after cooking and place into make table instead of on top of another food. PIC discarded.
