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 2 large 6"+ metal trays with cooked beans dated 12/11 with internal temperature of 50-52*F via probe thermometer in the walk-in at time of inspection. Also observed 3 individual portioned bags of cooked rice dated 12/11 in the bottom of the reach in prep cooler with internal temperature of 50*F via probe thermometer at time of inspection. PIC was able to confirm that both of the time/temperature control for safety (TCS) food items were cooked the previous night, PIC also stated the rice bags were left to cool down in the reach in unit overnight. Explained to PIC that all TCS foods must be cooled from 135°F to 70°F within the first 2 hours and from 70°F and 41°F or less in the following 4 hours, totaling 6 hour cooling process. PIC was unable to confirm when or if the items reached 41*F or below at a certain point in time, therefore the TCS foods were discarded at time of inspection.

Explained the importance of filling the metal containers at a max of 4" in order to maximize heat transfer and allow hot foods to properly cool. As well as not using the reach in prep coolers to cool down products and storing in walk-in and retrieving daily.

"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.
