   • F1.3 Are proper cooling and reheating procedures followed?
     • Observation(s): Observation: Multiple containers of recently cooked soups were found placed inside of a cooling unit which stored other potentially hazardous foods. Soup temperatures ranged from 56-60+°C. Temperature inside cooler was raised above 4°C. Corrected During Inspection: Hot soups were taken out of the cooling unit to cool properly using an ice bath method. Two soups were observed being cooled from 60°C to room temperature within a short period before being placed back inside cooling units. Operator confirmed that remaining soups would also be cooled using an ice bath method in a timely manner. Notes: -Placing hot (e.g. recently cooked) items in the fridge is not an appropriate cooling method. Placing hot items in the fridge can cause surrounding foods in the fridge to become warmer and enter the "danger zone" (4-60°C), where pathogens can grow more easily -Cooling logs will be provided -In the future ensure more ice is available for a more efficient ice bath
     • F1.3A Potentially hazardous food must be cooled from 60 °C (140 °F) to 20 °C (68 °F) within two hours and from 20 °C (68 °F) to 4 °C (40 °F) within four hours.
