- F1.3 - Are proper cooling procedures followed?
- Observation(s): a) The food temperature log shows that the cooked foods did not cooled to 20 degree Celsius within 2 hours multiple times. Proper cooling requires removing heat from food quickly enough to prevent microbial growth. Excessive time for cooling of potentially hazardous foods has been consistently identified as one of the leading contributing factors to foodborne illness. During extended cooling, potentially hazardous foods are subject to the growth of a variety of foodborne pathogens, which may grow to a sufficient number to cause illness. If the cooking step prior to cooling is adequate and there is no recontamination, all vegetative forms of microorganisms should be killed or inactivated; however, heat-resistant spore-formers such as Clostridium perfringens could survive in the food. However, under poorly monitored conditions or through environmental contamination, other pathogens such as Salmonella and Listeria may be reintroduced. Thus, cooling requirements have been based on growth characteristics of organisms that grow rapidly under temperature abuse conditions. Cooling after cooking of large food items such as roasts, turkeys and large containers of rice, take longer to cool down because of the mass and volume from which heat must be removed. b) No corrective actions are taken and recorded when the improper cooling cooked foods were observed. Operators must prioritize their resources to ensure higher risk procedures, including improper cooling, advance preparation, contamination by infected workers, inadequate reheating for hot holding, improper hot holding, cross-contamination, and improper cooking, are addressed by the Food Safety Plan.
- F1.3A - Potentially hazardous food must be cooled from 60°C to 20°C within 2 hours and from 20°C to 4°C within 4 hours.
- F2.4 - Are foods handled in a sanitary manner and protected from contamination?
- Observation(s): Cans of paints are stored right next to opened single use food packaging materials in the food shelves in the front food serving area.
- F2.4D - Chemicals, cleaners and other agents must be properly labeled and stored separately from foods to prevent contamination.
