Routine
6-1A - proper cold holding temperatures
Regulation: 511-6-1.04(6)(f) - time/temperature control for safety; cold holding (p)
Observed milk (60F) inside the walk-in cooler above 41F. Informed that the walk-in cooler door was constantly open due to receiving food deliveries today. The ambient air temperature was 43F before increasing to 48F (door was open while receiving milk delivery). All cold-hold Time/Temperature Control for Safety (TCS) foods must be 41F or below. Corrected on Site (COS): Milk discarded and delivered milk moved to the walk-in freezer until the walk-in cooler's ambient air temperature decreases below 41F. Keep the walk-in cooler door closed between entering and exiting the unit to prevent the unit from increasing in temperature.
6-1C - proper cooling time and temperature
Regulation: 511-6-1.04(6)(d) - cooling (p)
Observed two containers of cooked navy beans that were prepped yesterday with a temperature above 41F (47F and 52F). Cooked Time/Temperature Control for Safety (TCS) foods shall be cooled within a total of 6 hours from 135°F to 41°F or less. Corrected On Site (COS): Food was discarded due to time and temperature parameters not being met.
11A - proper cooling methods used: adequate equipment for temperature control
Regulation: 511-6-1.04(6)(e) - cooling methods (pf, c)
Observed cooked navy beans (47F and 52F) inside the walk-in cooler, tightly covered, with heavy condensation on the lids, indicating the food item was not cooled to the correct time and temperature. When placed in cooling or cold-holding equipment, food containers in which food is being cooled shall be arranged in the equipment to maximize 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. Corrected on Site (COS): Beans discarded. Train staff on proper cooling methods.
