  2. Initial Inspection

    1 infraction

    • 10. Are food temperatures during storage and processing being controlled to maximize food safety?
      • 1. The cooked chicken in the hot holding unit was inconsistent temperatures, parts were found to be 49 C - 54 C. Staff member said she had just reheated this chicken in the microwave. Owner said the chicken is the only pre-cooked product in the hot holding, the rice and beef were cooked and then put into the hot holding and they were both well above 60 C. Staff member and owners were told that when re-heating foods they need to ensure it fully gets up to 74 C before placing into the hot holding unit. Food may need to be stirred a few times, and needs to be checked with a probe thermometer. 2. The cold holding unit at the front is not working. There are plans to replace this in February. In the meantime staff are using ice to keep containers cold. Staff and owner were instructed to use larger outer containers for ice, and smaller inner containers with just the amount of cut vegetables, cheese, and sauce that can be used in 2 hour intervals. Items must be checked often with thermometers.
