Description: Proper Reheating Procedures for Hot Holding
Comments:
PRIORITY VIOLATION-3-403.11, P: Reheating for Hot Holding. 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/4618/AMC-Toolbox---Reheating.>>>Observed internal temperatures between 104*F - 127*F for the following time/temperature controlled for safety foods in the hold holding units: cooked onion/pepper, cooked chili with meat, and ready to eat nacho cheese sauce. An employee indicated they removed these foods from the refrigerator and placed them in the hot holding unit (2 hours before inspection). Discussed with person in charge reheating any refrigerated cooked commercially processed time/temperature controlled for safety foods to 165*F within 2 hours for hot holding. Shelf-stable, commercially prepared ready-to eat foods in hermetically sealed containers only need to be reheated to 135*F for hot holding; if they are removed from their container or package after opening for portioning they must also be reheated to 165*F. Person in charge willingly discarded of all of the foods listed above. The measured internal temperature of the water in the hot holding unit was 170*F; discussed with person in charge stirring during reheating process or using microwave to reheat prior to placing them in the unit.
The potential for growth of pathogenic bacteria is greater in reheated cooked foods than in raw foods. This is because spoilage bacteria, which inhibit the growth of pathogens by competition on raw product, are killed during cooking. Subsequent recontamination will allow pathogens to grow without competition if temperature abuse occurs.

"A" for Food Safety
Through our grading system, Maricopa County Environmental Services Department provides at-a-glance indications of how food establishments perform during food safety inspections. This system is designed to grade food establishments in terms of food safety requirements and provide recognition to those who choose to participate.
How does it work?
The issuance of grade cards to food establishments is based on voluntary participation. The person in charge, who is present during the inspection, will be asked whether they would like to participate in the Grading System. This will be decided prior to each inspection. If an establishment does not participate in the Grading System, Not Participating or NP will appear on the inspection report, and the inspection will still occur. If an establishment does participate, a grade of A, B, C, or D will be determined at the conclusion of the inspection using the Grading System chart below. Participating establishments will then be provided with a grade card that can be posted in the establishment. The status of the establishment’s grade will also appear on the Restaurant Ratings page of the department’s website.
How can I determine the grade?
The Grading System chart can be used to determine grades earned for establishments that do not participate. Grades are determined by the number of Priority and Priority Foundation violations received at the time of inspection. Violation types are defined in general terms below.
Definitions
- Priority Violation
- Major violation that directly contributes to increasing the risk of foodborne illness or injury (e.g. Food employees do not properly wash hands when required).
- Priority Foundation Violation
- Minor violation that does not directly contribute to an increased risk of foodborne illness but failure to correct this violation may lead to the occurrence of a priority violation. For example, hand washing soap and paper towels not available at hand wash sink (may lead directly to food employees not properly washing hands when required).
- Core Violation
- Minor violation that relates to general maintenance and sanitation (e.g. No sign reminding employees to wash hands).
- Cutting Edge Program
- All county food-related establishments can partner with Maricopa County to implement a proactive approach to reducing foodborne illness risk factors by implementing food safety systems that include policies, training, and verification processes. Partners enrolled in the Cutting Edge Program receive an A+ when an A is earned.
