- Storage of raw chicken immediately next to pre-cooked chicken balls (wrapping open) in the walk-in cooler was noted.

Ensure raw chicken/meats are stored separately from prepared products and ready to eat products like vegetables.
- 08. Do food handlers ensure that food is protected from contamination (unless noted elsewhere)(Non-Critical)?
- Single use disposable cup and a bowl (no handle - buried into product) were used as scoops in the large bulk ingredient bins. Scoops must have a handle and be washable to minimize potential product contamination risk. Discussed issue with manager and the disposable cup and bowl were discarded and/or sent for washing during the inspection.Several meat products were stored (plastic wrapped) on the floor of the walk-in freezer. All food products must be stored at least 6 inches above the floor to protect from contamination. Staff started reorganizing storage of the freezer during the inspection to move those products up.Significant ice buildup was noted on a box of frozen meat - discard this product and protect products from condensation from the freezer unit - also this amount of ice build up suggests a potential issue with the freezer unit that should be assessed by a professional.

- Multiple containers of garlic in oil were stored at 25C along the cookline - products were discarded during the inspection. High risk products like garlic in oil must be stored outside the temperature danger zone (4C-60C). Several containers of soup bases were store at room temperature along the cookline - manufacture instructions for these products indicate that refrigeration is required after opening. Products were discarded. Multiple dishes of chopped vegetables were stored at room temperature along the cookline - all vegetables once prepared/washed/cooked must be stored outside of the temperature danger zone. Products were discarded.Raw in-shell eggs were stored on the cookline - manager indicated they were there in preparation for fried rice orders - eggs measured 34C. Eggs were discarded. Raw whole eggs must be stored at 7C or lower prior to cooking.Hot buffet products measured from 44C-55C. Discussed the issue with the facility manager - products were discarded. Staff indicated that the current hot holding unit was not adjustable for increasing the temperature setting. Strongly recommend a hot holding unit that can be adjusted warmer.
