majorCode 590.003/3-501.17-PFFood temperature

Official wording

Ready-To-Eat Time/Temperature Control for Safety Food Date Marking (Pf)

Inspector’s notes

In multiple cold holding units observed opened dairy and nondairy milks opened and in use but lacking any date marking some that per the PIC had been opened up to two weeks ago. TCS items that will not be consumed or used within 24-hours of opening must be date labeled.

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.

Official wording

Variance Requirement (Pf)

Inspector’s notes

In the walkin refrigerator observed multiple cambros filled with homemade pickled vegetables dated in October; upon a discussion with the person in charge it was confirmed that the location is pickling for preservation but does not have a HACCP plan or approved variance from the Health Division. The pickled vegetables are hereby embargoed until further notice. When pickling for preservation and extending shelf life a HACCP plan and an approved Variance must be on file with the Health Division.

In plain English

An issue that does not fit the common categories. Check the official wording for details.
