     • Observation(s): During cooking, all potentially hazardous foods must be reach a minimum internal temperature of 74°C before being placed in warmers. This should be verified by staff by using a thermometer. • Acquire a probe thermometer to measure internal food temperatures and train staff on its use.
     • F1.1A Potentially hazardous food must be cooked to appropriate internal temperature.
     • F1.1B Internal cooked food temperatures must be verified by the operator.
   • F1.2 Are proper temperature controls maintained to ensure safe storage and display of foods?
     • Observation(s): During inspection, the oatmeal being hot-held on the servery line was measured at a temperature below 60°C. All potentially hazardous foods must be hot-held at 60°C or higher. • Adjust and monitor the temperature of the hot-holding unit to ensure it maintains appropriate temperatures at or above 60°C. During inspection, food items in the mini-fridge in the serving area were measured at above 4°C. The internal analog thermometer was reading 9°C. Ice buildup was noted on the back of the unit, which was then melting and causing water to pool in the bottom of the cold storage unit. This ice buildup could be restricting airflow. • Adjust, repair or replace this unit to ensure foods are constantly maintained at or below 4°C
     • F1.2A Potentially hazardous foods must be stored or displayed at a temperature of 60 °C (140 °F) or hotter.

   • F2.1 Does the facility have proper monitoring supplies?
     • Observation(s): The facility is not equipped with sanitizer test strips. • Acquire test strips to monitor sanitizer solution concentrations. Food handlers are using the digital temperature gauges to monitor cold storage unit temperatures. • Digital gauges are not always reliable, and measure only one area of the cold storage unit. Internal analog thermometers must be installed in these cold storage units to monitor temperatures more closely. Mini fridge in servery area not included on temperature logs. • Update temperature log to include mini fridge in the front servery area.
