PIC instructed cook to wash hands and clean and sanitize any contaminated surfaces. PIC placed a supply of sher-mitts at the egg station for cook to use while cracking eggs. According to o PIC, the policy is to use sher-mitts as a utensil to crack raw eggs to prevent gloves from becoming contaminated. When not available for handling raw proteins, hands must be washed in-between glove changes due to contamination. Discussed the importance of washing hands after contamination and prior to handling clean utensils, food etc. in order to prevent the transfer of pathogens. PIC will retrain employees on proper handwashing and when to wash. The hands are particularly important in transmitting foodborne pathogens. Food employees with dirty hands and/or fingernails may contaminate the food being prepared. Therefore, any activity which may contaminate the hands must be followed by thorough handwashing in accordance with the procedures outlined in the Food Code.

Description: Proper Hot Holding Temperatures

PRIORITY VIOLATION-3-501.16(A)(1), P: Time/Temperature Control for Safety Food, 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/4614/AMC-Toolbox---Hot-Holding. >>> Observed 2 metal pans of country gravy hot holding in the middle steam table at the cook-line with internal temperatures of 100-130F, and cooked sausage patties in a warmer at the grill with internal temperatures of 120-125F, probe thermometer, verified by PIC. According to PIC, the country gravy was reheated less than 4 hours prior to inspection and the sausage patties cooked within 30 minutes. PIC instructed cook to reheat the gravy and patties to at least 165F. The line check was performed 30 minutes prior to inspection and hot holding items were observed to be at 135F or greater. Discussed the procedures for monitoring temperatures and corrective actions. PIC will retrain employees to ensure that TCS food are reheated and/or cooked to the proper temperature and routinely monitor the food and equipment temperatures. Cooking or hot holding that follows temperature abuse may not make the food safe. Maintaining cooked TCS foods at 135F or more during hot holding prevents significant regrowth of heat-injured microorganisms and prevents recontamination with bacteria that are newly introduced.

Description: Proper Cold Holding Temperatures

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 liquid egg whites, liquid whole eggs, raw shell eggs, cooked sausage crumbles and corned beef hash cold holding in the egg reach-in refrigerator with internal temperatures of 44-50F. Observed cut lettuce, cut tomato, sliced deli turkey/ham/corned beef, cooked chicken, hardboiled eggs, raw sausage links/patties, cooked rice, cooked stuffing and cooked beef pot roast cold holding in the sandwich reach-in with internal temperatures of 53-54F. Temperatures taken with probe thermometer and verified by PIC. According to PIC, at the time of opening equipment and food observed at 41F or less; TCS food temperatures above 41 were observed during the line check prior to inspection and the food should have been rapidly cooled to 41F or less in the walk-in cooler or with ice. The circuit breakers for the cook-line equipment have been faulty and PIC suspects that is what caused the temperatures above 41F. All refrigeration observed at 41F or less during inspection. The TCS foods were placed into the walk-in cooler to rapidly cool during the inspection. Discussed implementing corrective actions once TCS foods are observed to be in the danger zone of 41-135F, to prevent foodborne illness. Discussed the importance of maintaining cold food at 41F or less to limit pathogen growth and avoid causing foodborne illness. Except during preparation, cooking, cooling, or when time is used as a control all TCS food must be maintained at 41°F or less.
