Priority Foundation-3-501.15 (A), Pf: Cooling Methods. ===> Observed several recently prepped to-go salads stacked and packed tightly in the reach-in refrigerator at the to-go prep area. The containers of salad were prepped 3 hours prior to inspection and had an internal temperature of 47F or greater. PIC instructed employee to place the salads into the walk-in cooler. When placed in cooling or cold holding equipment, food containers in which food is being cooled shall be arranged in the equipment to provide maximum heat transfer through the container walls; and loosely covered, or uncovered if protected from overhead contamination, during the cooling period to facilitate heat transfer from the surface of the food. PIC will retrain employees to use the walk-in cooler to cool TCS foods. TCS foods that start at 70F or less must cool to 41F or below in 4 hours. ===> For a permanent fix to this violation, check out these simple tools in our Active Managerial Control Toolbox, made especially for you. https://www.maricopa.gov/4617/AMC-Toolbox---Cooling.
