Additional Comments

A menu review was conducted and the facility does not require a Consumer Advisory. A risk assessment was conducted and the facility will remain a low risk permit.

Certified Food Handler (CFH) certificates were provided for all food employees that have been employed for more than 30 calendar days.

The facility has paid for a current health permit, but the new permit is not showing on the inspection database used by this health department. Once the facility receives their permit it should be posted in a visible location.
Ensure a current health permit is posted as required at all times. Facility may request a copy of their most recent health permit by calling 417-334-4544 x593 or by emailing ehs@taneycohealth.org.

Education:
Refrigerated, ready-to-eat potentially hazardous foods (time-temperature control for safety foods; PHF/TCS) prepared and held for more than 24 hours must be clearly marked with the day or date the food shall be discarded if it has not been used. PHF/TCS foods requiring date marking must be held at 41°F or less for no more than 7 days. The day the PHF/TCS food is prepared must be counted as day one. For example, if something is prepared on Tuesday, 2/6 it must be used or thrown away by the end of Monday 2/12. A date marking system can be done by using calendar dates, days of the week, color coded marks, or other effective methods as long as it is consistently applied by all food employees and system is disclosed to inspector upon request.
Discussed that all food and chemical containers must be labeled with the common name of their contents. The exception to labeling with a common name applies to foods that are easily identifiable, such as nuts, certain cereals, or the boba pearls the facility has.
Discussed ensuring that all containers are thoroughly cleaned to remove label residue that may harbor bacteria. Labels that are smooth and easily cleanable should be regularly examined for deterioration to prevent bacterial growth.
