3717-1-03.4(F)(1) / Time/temperature controlled for safety food - hot and cold holding.
Critical Corrected During Inspection TCS foods were not being held at the proper temperature. There were two hot held TCS foods (popcorn chicken dishes - 110/118 degrees F) and two cold held foods (chopped lettuce 50 degrees F/chopped egg 47 degrees F) that were out of the required hot/cold holding temperature ranges.
To prevent the growth of pathogens, except during preparation, cooking, or cooling, or when time is used as a public health control, TCS food shall be held at 135°F or above (except that roasts cooked using time and temperature parameters in 3717-1-03.3 may be held at 130° F), or at 41°F or less. Operator will discard the eggs/chopped lettuce after this lunch period and attempt to use more ice to keep salad bar items cooled. Operator placed popcorn chicken dishes back into over to heat them up higher.
