- 10. Are food temperatures during storage and processing being controlled to maximize food safety?
- Operator indicates that they continue to re-heat foods in the hot holding unit and it takes approximately 45 minutes to reach 74C but they are verifying with a thermometer. Discussed with operator that soups must be rapidly heated so that the time in the danger zone (between 4-60c) is decreased. In the case that soups are being reheated more than once at this store, it may spend more than 2 hours in the danger zone and have dangerous buildup of bacteria and toxins over time. It is imperative to keep track of the time spent in the danger zone and if it exceeds two hours, hazardous foods such as soups must be tossed out, decrease the amount of time in the danger zone as possible. Steps should be adjusted so that soups are rapidly heated such as on an induction stove top.

- 10. Are food temperatures during storage and processing being controlled to maximize food safety?
- Cooler and freezer temperatures satisfactory. Soups were between 30°C-50°C located in the hot holding unit. Operator stated that soups are reheated slowly in the hot holding soup unit. The operator rapidly reheated the soups during the inspection.Reheated foods must rapidly be heated to 74°C if being hot held afterwards to destroy bacteria. Ensure to verify that temperatures reach 74°C prior to putting it into hot holding with a thermometer. When cooling food, reminder to cool food as quickly as possible: Place products in shallow pans. Placing foods in shallow containers assist in faster cooling. Reminder that any potentially hazardous foods (including cooked soups, cooked vegetables, cooked starches) that have been cooked, cooled to 4°C, reheated and then recooled to 4°C, must be reheated to 74°C or higher with the total time between 4°C and 74°C not to exceed 2 hours.As foods are thawed, cooked, held, served, cooled, and reheated, they pass several times through the temperature "danger zone" of between 4°C and 60°C (40°F and 140°F). The amount of time that potentially hazardous foods are in the danger zone will have an impact on the shelf life of the product. High risks food products including soups rich in cooked vegetables are starches should only reheated once. High risk foods that are stored within the danger zone for greater than two hours must be discarded.
