minorCode MN Rule 4626.0435CFood source and labeling
Official Wording
Label consumer self-dispensing bulk food with the following information: 1. manufacturer's or processor's label; 2. a card or sign with the common name of the food; 3. list of ingredients; 4. nutrition labeling, unless exempt.
Inspector’s Notes
Observed no label information at the self-service soda fountain. This was discussed. Provide the information at the dispensing locaton.
In Plain English
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.
Provide permanently mounted temperature measuring device for cold or hot holding equipment used for TCS food.
Inspector’s Notes
Observed no thermometer within the prep cooler.
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.
