Description: Proper Cooling Time and Temperatures

Comments:

PRIORITY VIOLATION-3-501.14, P: Cooling. 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. >>> Observed a 6" covered metal pan of gravy cooling from the previous evening, in the walk-in, with an internal temperature of 45F, probe thermometer, verified by PIC. The gravy had been cooling for more than 12 hours and failed to cool to 41F in 6 hours. PIC discarded the gravy, see embargo. PIC will retrain employees on proper cooling methods such as using shallow metal pans that are loosely covered and placed into the walk-in cooler/freezer on a speed rack or top shelf to facilitate airflow. Ice wands, using ice as an ingredient and frequent stirring also help to facilitate rapid cooling. TCS foods must cool from 135-70F in 2 hours and from 70-41F in the next 4 hours.

Description: Proper Cold Holding Temperatures

Comments:

PRIORITY VIOLATION-3-501.16(A)(2) and (B), P: Time/Temperature Control for Safety Food, Cold 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/4576/AMC-Toolbox---Cold-Holding. >>> Observed diced and sliced tomatoes, ham steaks and diced ham, diced cooked sausage, hardboiled eggs and American and mozzarella cheese cold holding in the top of the make-line cooler, with internal temperatures of 45-52F, probe thermometer, verified by PIC. The TCS foods were placed into the top of the cooler less than 2 hours prior to inspection and will be rapidly cooled to 41F or less within an hour. The pans appeared to be too full and arranged incorrectly in the top of the make-line. There are not fans in the top; the sides and bottom surfaces are cold. PIC will adjust the pans and monitor the temperature of TCS foods. Cook will be retrained on cold holding. Bacterial growth and/or toxin production can occur if time/temperature control for safety food remains in the temperature Danger Zone (41-135F).

Violation #: 23

Description: Proper Date Marking and Disposition

Comments:

PRIORITY VIOLATION-3-501.18, P: Ready-To-Eat Time/Temperature Control for Safety Food - Disposition. >>> Observed several TCS foods to be past the discard date in the walk-in cooler and the cook-line reach-in: cut melons (dated 11/14), house made chicken salad (dated 11/10), diced ham (dated 11/11), and chocolate pudding (dated 11/13). PIC discarded, see embargo. Discussed creating a policy for date marking and disposition that is consistently used by staff. The Food Code requires that TCS foods be discarded 7 days after opening/prep when held at 41F or less. Listeria is the pathogen of concern, which cannot be observed by looking at the food in question. Day 1 begins the date that a package of TCS food is opened, such as deli meats, or once cooked/prepped, such as noodles or proteins. Adding 6 to the date of day one (6+1) determines the discard date.

2ND CONSECUTIVE

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/4125/Food-SafetyOperator-Resources. >>> Observed thawed precooked chicken nuggets, hash browns, cut lettuce and cooked chicken in refrigeration units on the cook-line without date marks. PIC dated the TCS foods. TCS food must be clearly marked to indicate the date or day the food shall be consumed on premises, sold, or discarded when held at a temperature of 41°F or less for a maximum of 7 days. The day of preparation shall be counted as Day 1.

Description: Pasteurized Foods Used; Prohibited Foods Not Offered

Comments:

PRIORITY VIOLATION-3-801.11(A), (B), (C), (E) and (G), P: Pasteurized Foods, Prohibited Re-Service, and Prohibited Food. 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/4619/AMC-Toolbox---Approved-Source. >>> Observed two raw shell eggs cooked to over easy as ordered by a patient, with a final cooking temperature of less than 90F. The eggs were assembled into a breakfast sandwich, and placed into a to-go box for immediate service to a patient of the highly susceptible population. Breakfast sandwich discarded, see embargo. Cook will not serve any undercooked/cracked/combined raw shell eggs for the remainder of the breakfast service and in the future unless pasteurized shell eggs are used. Discussed the use of raw shell eggs and pasteurized shell eggs when serving a HSP. Raw shell eggs can ONLY be used for hard-boiling, for baking goods such as cakes, muffins and meatloaf or fully cooked for a single order and immediately served. Pasteurized eggs MUST be used for any egg or as an ingredient of a food that will be served undercooked, and eggs that are combined. Raw or undercooked eggs are particularly hazardous because the virulent organism Salmonella. Salmonella often survives traditional preparation techniques. It survives in a lightly cooked omelet, French toast, stuffed pasta, and meringue pies.

"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.
Grading System The matrix below is used to grade food inspections under the voluntary grading system.
Violation Category Grade A Grade B Grade B Grade B Grade B Grade B Grade B Grade B Grade C Grade C Grade C Grade C Grade C Grade C Grade D Grade D

Priority Foundation 0 1 2 3 4 0 1 2 5 3 4 0 1 2 more than 3 more than 0

Any legal action for a pattern of non-compliance or permit suspension results in a D.
