Proper date marking & disposition
Priority Foundation-3-501.17, Pf: Ready-To-Eat Time/Temperature Control for Safety Food - Date Marking. At small reach-in refrigerator underneath hot holding station, observed an open package of beef hot dogs and an open package of jalapeno cheddar brats without date marking. Per Person in Charge (PIC), packages were opened more than 24 hours prior. TCS (time/temperature controlled for safety) food prepared and packaged by a Food Processing Plant that does not meet the criteria to be exempted must be clearly marked at the time the original container is opened and is held for >24 hours to indicate date/day the food shall be consumed on premises, sold, or discarded - the day the original package is opened counts as Day 1 and the day or date marked by the operation may not exceed the mfg.’s use-by date if the manufacturer determined the use-by date based on food safety. Discussed importance of proper date marking with PIC. PIC date marked the open TCS food packages.
