Routine Inspection
08. Proper hot and cold holding temperatures.

Conditions Observed: Measured half-chickens stacked two-high in the rotisserie hot hold to be below 135 F (half-chicken, 127 F; half-chicken, 134 F). Per Deli Manager, chicken was placed in the hot hold approximately 1 hour eariler. GM put half-chickens directly on rack on heating element - COS. As discussed during the inspection, avoid stacking hot-held foods. Keep foods in direct contact with the heat source; hot hold chicken and all PHF at 135 F or greater. Measured cheese cake in the dessert case to be 53 F; measured ambient air to 54 F. Cheesecakes were moved to a fridge at or below 41 F and case was taken out of service - COS. Adjust/service/repair to cold-hold cheesecake at 41 F or below before returning to service.

ROACHY SAYS:

“Except during preparation, cooking, cooling, transportation to or from a retail food facility for a period of less than thirty minutes, when time is used as the public health control, or as otherwise specified, potentially hazardous foods shall be maintained at or below 41F or at or above 135F. The following foods may be held at or below 45F: raw shell eggs, unshucked live molluscan shellfish, pasteurized milk and pasteurized milk products in original sealed containers, potentially hazardous foods held during transportation. Potentially hazardous foods held for dispensing in serving lines and salad bars may be held at 45F, not to exceed 12 hours in a 24 hour period, if unused portions are discarded. Food preparation shall not exceed two cumulative hours without a return to the required holding temperatures. (113996, 113998, 114037, 114343(a))”

12. Proper reheating procedures for hot holding.

Conditions Observed: Measured a temperature gradient in prepackaged, hermetically sealed mac and cheese after reheating (124 F, 134 F, 107 F). FSM stirred and returned mac and cheese to the stove for several minutes. Inspector observed FSM measure mac and cheese to be 146 F on the edge and 152 F in the center - COS. Discussed effective reheating (stirring foods, reheating for 2 to 4 minutes more, letting water return to a boil before setting a timer, etc). Revise reheating method to ensure that entire product is throughly reheated to 135 F or greater prior to hot holding.

ROACHY SAYS:

“Potentinally hazardous food that is cooked, cooled, and reheated for hot holding shall be heated to a temperature of 165F for 15 seconds. Cooked and refrigerated food that is prepared for immediate service in response to an individual consumer order may be served at any temperature. Reheating for hot holding shall be done rapidly, and the time between 41F and 165F shall not exceed two hours. Potentinally hazardous food reheated in a microwave oven for hot holding shall be rotated or stirred midway during cooking, covered to retain surface moisture, be reheated to 165F in all parts of the food, and stand covered for at least two minutes after reheating. Ready-to-eat food taken from a commercailly processed hermetically sealed container or from an intact package from a food processing plant shall be heated to a temperature of 135F for hot holding. (114014, 114016)”

Routine Inspection
08. Proper hot and cold holding temperatures.

Conditions Observed: Measured food products in the hot case to be below 135 (cheddar muncher, 117 F; cheddar muncher, 121 F; jalapeƱo popper, 124 F). Discussed cooking to order and/or making smaller volumes of these items. Revise procedure to hot hold all foods at 135 F or greater. Measured prepackaged chicken fried steak to below 135 F. See measured observations. Showed observations to GM/FSM. FSM discarded two packages of chicken fried streak. Discussed temperature gradients within prepackaged foods. Consider discontinuing products that can not be hot held at 135 F or greater. This violation requires a reinspection on/after 1/31/19.

ROACHY SAYS:

“Except during preparation, cooking, cooling, transportation to or from a retail food facility for a period of less than thirty minutes, when time is used as the public health control, or as otherwise specified, potentially hazardous foods shall be maintained at or below 41F or at or above 135F.
