majorCode 590.003(D)/3-501.19-PFOther

Official wording

Time as a Public Health Control ( Pf)

Inspector’s notes

At the sushi prep area per a conversation with the persons in charge the restaurant is using printed labels to discard rice every four hours; however no log is kept that meets the time as a public health control guidelines and no TPHC written procedures have been submitted to the regulatory authority for review. The person in charge voluntarily discarded the cooked rice at the sushi area and will until TPHC procedures are submitted to the regulatory authority for review hold the cooked rice at 135F or above or 41F or below. Please follow the TPHC guidance documents I will be sending in the email attached with the inspection report.

criticalCode 590.003/3-501.16-PFood temperature

Official wording

(A)(2) and (B) Time/Temperature Control for Safety Food Hot and Cold Holding (P)

Inspector’s notes

Fried chicken at service line 100F for cold prep. Removed to refrigerator. Cooled cooked foods completely to 41F before placing into cold prep for service.

In plain English

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.
