Observations & Corrective Actions

4: 1200-23-01-.02(4)(a)1. Upon entering kitchen, an employee was eating food on line at stack of clean plates between salad and warmers. Employee took food to rear of establishment to eat outside of prep areas.

14: 1200-23-01-.04(6)(a)1. Ceiling of ice machine is soiled with a black substance. I recommend PIC develop cleaning schedule and log for ice machine and daily log for dish machine sanitizer due to repetitive violation.

17: 1200-23-01-.03(4(c) Cooked onions, mushrooms, beer cheese at warmer were removed from cold holding at 9am per PIC. At 11:10am, see temp chart. PIC reheated items to 165F in steamer and we discussed proper reheating. I recommend PIC keep log with reheating temperatures for these items to ensure proper reheating is conducted.

20: 1200-23-01-.03(5)(a)6. Two containers of sour cream at Avantco front expo at 48F. Employee states they were pulled from WIC at 10am and unit was turned on at that time. I discussed turning on unit with ample time for unit to cool before using for items in the morning. PIC moved sour cream to freezer to rapidly cool and allow unit to recover. I recommend PIC keep temperature log for cold holding items due to repetitive violation.
