PROPER DATE MARKING AND DISPOSITION
Food not clearly marked to indicate the date or day by which the food shall be consumed, sold or discarded. (Flan not date marked. Cooked beans not correctly date marked.) (Corrected)
Food came from an unapproved source, was missing required date marks or labels, or was past its use-by date. Knowing where food came from and how old it is helps prevent illness.
More about food source, dating, or labeling problemsPROPER HOT HOLDING TEMPERATURES
TCS food not maintained at 57°C (135°F) or above. (Cooked meat held at room temperature.)
Food was not kept cold enough, hot enough, cooled fast enough, or cooked or reheated to the right temperature. Bacteria grow quickly in the "danger zone" between 41°F and 135°F, which makes this one of the most important food-safety checks.
More about food kept at an unsafe temperatureNO BARE HAND CONTACT WITH READY-TO-EAT FOODS OR APPROVED ALTERNATE METHOD FOLLOWED
Bare hand contact with ready to eat foods. (Employee observed preparing tortillas with bare hands.)
This covers things like hair restraints, jewelry, clean clothing, eating or drinking in food prep areas, touching ready-to-eat food with bare hands, or not having a sick-employee policy.
