Critical Violations
5 points: FOOD DISPLAY SERVICE AND TRANSPORT TEMP
Chicken noted not being held at 41 degrees Fahrenheit or below. Tub of raw chicken to be prepped/cut noted sitting at room temperature too long. It was noted at 65?F. Refrigerated meats/foods must be prepared quickly enough to prevent temperature abuse. Temperature abuse is the raising and lowering of the holding temperature (above 41?F or below 140?F) which allows for the growth of potentially harmful bacteria. The chicken was disposed of to correct the critical violation.
4 points: SANITIZATION OF EQUIP. AND UTENSILS
An inadequate amount of chlorine sanitizer was noted in the final rinse of the dish machine. The dish machine chlorine sanitizer had lost its prime.
