3717-1-03.2(C) / Packaged and unpackaged food - preventing contamination by separation, packaging, and segregation
Critical Observed food that was not properly protected from contamination by separation, packaging, and segregation. Observed uncovered food items in the reach-in freezers and reach-in cooler. All open food in a cooler or freezer must be covered to protect from cross contamination.
To prevent contamination, food shall be protected from cross contamination by storing food in packages, covered containers, or wrappings as required.
3717-1-03.4(F)(1) / Time/temperature controlled for safety food - hot and cold holding.
Critical TCS foods were not being held at the proper temperature. Observed TCS food item (mashed potatoes) below 135F at time of inspection.
To prevent the growth of pathogens, except during preparation, cooking, or cooling, or when time is used as a public health control, TCS food shall be held at 135°F or above (except that roasts cooked using time and temperature parameters in 3717-1-03.3 may be held at 130° F), or at 41°F or less.
3717-1-03.4(F)(1) / Time/temperature controlled for safety food - hot and cold holding.
Critical Repeat TCS foods were not being held at the proper temperature. Observed TCS food items above 41F at time of inspection. Pancake mix, lettuce, and hot cake mix.
To prevent the growth of pathogens, except during preparation, cooking, or cooling, or when time is used as a public health control, TCS food shall be held at 135°F or above (except that roasts cooked using time and temperature parameters in 3717-1-03.3 may be held at 130° F), or at 41°F or less.
3717-1-03.4(H)(1) / Ready-to-eat, time/temperature controlled for safety food - disposition.
Critical Ready-to-eat, TCS food that had been date marked was not properly discarded when required. Observed TCS food item, scrambled mix dish, stored past date marked in the reach-in cooler. TCS food item was discarded at time of inspection.
To prevent illness, refrigerated, ready-to-eat TCS food that has been date marked in the facility shall be discarded if it: (a) exceeds the temperature or time specified in (G)(1) of this rule, except the time the food is frozen; (b) is in a container or package that does not bear a date or day; or (c) is marked with a date or day that exceeds the time and temperature combination specified in (G)(1) of this rule.
3717-1-04.4(N)(3) / Manual and mechanical warewashing equipment, chemical sanitization (quaternary ammonium) - temp., pH, concentration, and hardness
Critical Corrected During Inspection A quaternary ammonium sanitizing solution did not meet the minimum requirements for temperature, concentration, and/or water hardness. Quaternary ammonia was above 400 ppm in several buckets. Sanitizer must be maintained between 200-400 ppm to prevent chemical poisoning.
To prevent pathogen growth, a quaternary ammonium sanitizing solution shall: (a) Have a minimum temperature of 75F,(b) Have a concentration as specified and as indicated by the manufacturer's use directions included in the labeling.
