Chick-fil-A Covington GA FSU #4285

6-1C: .04(6)(d)Observed a container or shredded chicken stored in a prep cooler not reach a minimum temperature of 41 degrees with the required time frame. The chicken was prepped at 7:25AM; when assessed at 2:21 PM the temperature exceeded 41 degrees F. Cooling Rate: TCS foods being cooled from 135°F to 70°F in 2 hours MUST cool 0.54°F per minute (roughly 32.5°F per hour). To successfully cool from 135°F to 70°F within two hours, the food must be cooled at a rate of approximately 0.54°F per minute (135°F -70°F = 65°F total divided by 120 minutes = 0.54°F per minute) or 32.5°F per hour. TCS foods being cooled from 70°F to 41°F MUST cool 7.25°F per hour (29°F in 4 hours). To successfully cool from 70°F to 41°F within 4 hours, the food must be cooled at a rate of 0.121°F per minute (70-41 = 29°F total divided by 240 minutes = 0.121°F per minute) or 7.25°F per hour. Corrective Actions: Education was provided to the person in charge discussing the cooling rates and methods. The chicken was discarded.

6-1A: .04(6)(f)Observed chocolate and white milk cold holding at a temperature greater than 41 degrees F. Time/temperature control for safety food shall be maintained at 41°F (5°C) or below. (P) Corrective Actions: All milks were discarded.

15A: .05(6)(q)1&3Observed the reach in cooler holding (temperature control for safety) TCS food items with an ambient temperature greater than 41 degrees F. Ambient air temperature, water pressure, and water temperature measuring devices shall be maintained in good repair and be accurate within the intended range of use. Corrective Actions: All TCS items were removed and TCS items will not be held in the unit until the proper calibrations are made for the unit to maintain an ambient temperature of 41 degrees F or lower.
