3 recorded violations

criticalCode MN Rule 4626.0385AFood temperature

Official wording

Cool cooked TCS food: • Within two hours from 135 to 70 degrees F, and • Within a total of six hours from 135 to 41 degrees F or less

Inspector’s notes

Observed vegan queso sauce cooling overnight with a center temperature of 54F. The exterior temperatures measured 44-40F strongly indicating that the food had not reached 41F from the previous cook/cool step. Instructed discard and discussed cooling methods.

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.

minorCode MN Rule 4626.0435AFood source and labeling

Official wording

Label all food packages as required by the law.

Inspector’s notes

Observed pastries available for self service without labels. Discussed labeling requirements, guidance document provided with report. Provide labels for the pastries or do not offer them for self-service. Labels must contain: 1) Name of food 2) Net quantity 3) Ingredients in descending order, including sub-ingredients 4) Major food allergens 5) Name and address of the preparer or packer If the product is making nutritional claims on their label a nutrition label is also required. This is not likely for this product.

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.
