Critical Corrected During Inspection TCS foods were not being held at the proper temperature. Nacho cheese sauce, cheddar cheese sauce, cream cheese and pizza sauce are all holding at below 135F in the warming unit. The person in charge discarded all the sauces and adjusted the temperature. The facility will not use the case until it can maintain a temperature of 135F or above.
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.

| Sauce holding unit is holding at 120F. Sauces were discarded at the time of the inspection. The person in charge turned the temperature up on the holding unit. The temperature must hot hold the cheese/sauce at 135F or above. Any temperature between 41F-135F is considered in the danger zone and may cause growth of pathogens. Nacho cheese and cheddar cheese comes in a can at room temperature (can states to refrigerate after opening) and is portioned into small cups then placed in the cooler. The cups are then moved to the hot holding unit until they are sold. The facility is keeping a temperature log for all equipment and it appears that the sauce holding unit has been below 135F since the end of July. Observed gloves, hair restraints, test strips and thermometers. |
