Perishable food in a cold holding state must be 41 degrees Fahrenheit or below to limit the growth of pathogens. All of these food items were voluntarily discarded during the inspection. According to the store manager, the cooler had been down a few days. So, they were using ice to keep the food cold; however, no procedures for time without temperature control were available. It was explained to the manager what these procedures must entail such as discard the food within four hours. The manager agreed to these procedures until the unit is repaired, reinspected and deemed safe to store perishable food. Chemical sanitizer found to high in the mechanical dish washer. Chemical sanitizer solutions must be used properly and may not exceed the manufacturer’s requirement. It was recommended to the manager to have Ecolab readjust the chemical solution concentration levels. Several food containers found stacked while wet on the clean equipment rack. After cleaning and sanitizing, equipment must be air dried. Critical Control Point inspection: employee health — visible or known symptoms and illnesses must be addressed. Time/ temperature controlled safety food — cold holding temperatures above 41 degrees Fahrenheit. Chemical — toxic substances such as chemical solutions must be used properly.

Violations/ comments: food equipment found stacked while wet on the clean equipment rack. After cleaning and sanitizing, equipment must be air dried.

According to the built-in automated thermometer for the stand-up refrigerator, it was at 44 degrees Fahrenheit. The food stored inside was at 41-42 degrees Fahrenheit; however, gravy was being cooled inside so it was recommended to remove the gravy, place in an ice bath to bring the temperature down more prior to storing it inside a small stand up refrigerator such as this one. The kitchen employees removed the gravy, put it in an ice bath immediately. Thank you.
