Observations & Corrective Actions

20: Several TCS items in facility are not holding at proper temperature. The gluten free unit is holding at 63F, with foods ranging from 67-68F. TCS foods were discarded as a precaution in this unit. One of the pizza prep lines is holding at 52F, with food inside ranging from 49-53F. Ice was added to this unit, some of the chicken was discarded. Maintain TCS food cold at 41F or below. Temperature logs are not available for today, logs for yesterday verified proper cold holding.

22: Pizza by the slice is observed without date and time stamp on cook line. Ensure proper marking when using time as a public health control. Procedures were reviewed with manager (facility notes a two hour hold time and then discard). Pizza was discarded during inspection.

31: Beer cheese “reheating” in hot holding unit for approx 45 min per manager is at 94F. Discontinue using a hot holding unit for reheating. Reheating to 165F must be completed within 2 hours. Use a method that will ensure rapid reheating of TCS foods.

47: Water build up/pooling on bottom of two door unit facing hallway. Eliminate pooled water.
