Inspection summary
The inspector observed that the PIC and staff were unable to answer questions asked during the inspection. [2]
The inspector also observed sliced tomatoes, chopped cucumbers, shredded lettuce, cheese, and deli meats (including, but not limited to, turkey, meatballs, chicken strips, and ham) cold holding at temperatures above 41F in the walk-in cooler (see temperature log). The note records an on-site correction: “/CA: PIC will have the walk-in cooler serviced and relocated all affected foods to another cooler capable of maintaining 41°F or below until repairs are completed.” [3]
A separate finding described frozen chicken thawing in the meat-prep sink and in standing water, and frozen meatballs thawing on a cart at room temperature. The note records an on-site correction: “/CA: PIC relocated all affected meats to a cooler to thaw under refrigeration and will ensure that frozen foods are thawed using approved methods.” [4]
The report marks three findings as corrected on site. [5]
