Violations: A summary of the violations found during the inspection are listed below.
3717-1-02.4(B) / Person in charge: demonstration of knowledge.
Critical Corrected During Inspection The person in charge was unable to demonstrate proper knowledge of food safety and prevention. PIC did not correctly recall minimum cooking/cooling temperatures or cooling time/temp parameters.
To prevent or correct factors that may cause foodborne illness, based on the risks inherent to the food operation, during inspections and upon request, the person in charge shall demonstrate to the licensor the applicable food safety knowledge at the time of inspection.
3717-1-03.2(C) / Packaged and unpackaged food - preventing contamination by separation, packaging, and segregation
Critical Corrected During Inspection Observed food that was not properly protected from contamination by separation, packaging, and segregation. Observed apples for student self-service to have no protective wrapping. PIC voluntarily pulled apples for washing and wrapping.
To prevent contamination, food shall be protected from cross contamination by separating raw animal foods during storage, preparation, holding, and display from cooked ready-to-eat food as described in this rule.
3717-1-03.4(F)(1) / Time/temperature controlled for safety food - hot and cold holding.
Critical Corrected During Inspection TCS foods were not being held at the proper temperature. Observed hamburgers being hot held for approximately 20 minutes (off grill) to measure 119*F. PIC returned hamburgers to oven and reheated to 165*F minimum. Observed pasta salad being cold held on ice for approximately 15 minutes at 45.5*F. PIC divided quantity into 3 pans having 2" depth maximum and cooled to 41*F or below in walk-in cooler. PIC will pull one pan at a time to ensure product temperature remains at proper cold holding temperature throughout one-hour service time. In order to use ice as a refrigerant, the product temperature must be consistently maintained at 41*F or below.
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. Iced product placed next to hot held product on serving line bar. Separate hot from cold products to more easily maintain both at proper temperatures.
3717-1-03.4(G) / Ready-to-eat, time/temperature controlled for safety food - date marking.
Critical Corrected During Inspection Refrigerated, ready-to-eat, TCS foods held refrigerated for more than 24 hours were not properly date marked. Observed sliced ham to bear no date mark. PIC state it was sliced on 8/25. PIC added date mark at time of inspection.
To prevent foodborne illness, refrigerated, ready-to-eat, TCS food held at a temperature of 41°F or less for more than 24 hours shall be clearly marked at the time of preparation or the time the original container is opened to indicate the date or day, that is a maximum of seven days, by which the food shall be consumed, sold, or discarded.

Comments
Inspection completed with Joette Moore, RS. Discussed inspection with Tyra Gregory , PIC.
This building has several areas lacking proper air gap/ backflow prevention devices. Plumbing inspectors have been consulted and a representative from that department will follow-up with management.

Ensure labeling of all food products (ex: bacon bits) is continued throughout facility. PIC states grill hood vents scheduled for cleaning tomorrow. Ensure cleanliness is maintained.

Provided:
Employee illness reporting agreement, Norovirus cleanup procedures, level IV cost information, Cooling methods handout, Cooking temps handout, and Cooling Chart handout to management via email.
