Observations & Corrective Actions

22: 3-501.16 (A) (2) Two pitchers of chai mix with dairy were found improperly cold-holding in the lobby 2 glass door standing cooler at 45F and 52F, respectively. Staff stated they were made the night prior. The product is made by mixing dairy and a shelf-stable chai mix. Specialist suggested that a cooling step should be incorporated if they use room temperature chai mix to make the product to bring it back down to 41F by using a walk-in cooler overnight. - Foods that rise above 41 F during preparation must be actively cooled to less than 41F. Product discarded as requested. Product value less than $10. One half-gallon jug of low-fat milk was found improperly cold holding at 48F in an ice bath to the left of the lobby coffee machine. Staff stated it was opened an hour prior. All other products were properly cold holding, but the ice levels were low. -Add ice. Food containers must be submerged down into ice if products are to be kept at less than 41 F. If ice baths can not hold foods at less than 41 F, commercial refrigeration must be provided. Cold hold foods below 41 F to prevent the growth of microorganisms. Ice bath was refilled with ice. Food product was moved to the lobby standing cooler to cool back down to 41F.

39: 3-303.12 In the broken drive-thru 2 glass door standing cooler, condensation was observed dripping onto pitchers filled with non-TCS liquids. Staff stated that this cooler is due to be repaired today. Once this cooler has been fixed and can have an ambient of 41F, TCS food items may be stored in there. - Items were relocated at the time of inspection. Refrigerator storage was reorganized at time of inspection.

41: 3-304.14 Two sanitizer buckets were found stored on the floor. -Containers of chemical sanitizing solutions must be stored off the floor and used in a manner that prevents contamination of food, equipment, utensils, linens, single-service and single-use articles. Buckets are now stored off the floor on top of upside-down milk crates. Two sanitizer buckets were found with low concentration of quaternary ammonia below 150 ppm. Buckets were emptied and refilled with an appropriate concentration of quaternary ammonia sanitizer between 150-400 ppm. - Use sanitizer test kits to verify sanitizer is at correct concentration. Sanitizer cloths were found improperly store outside of their respective buckets. - Do not leave wiping cloths out on counters, cutting boards, tables, etc. Wiping cloths must be saturated with sanitizer at all times. After use return wiping cloths to sanitizer bucket.
