TCS foods were not being held at the proper temperature. TCS foods were being "cold" held at room temperature including salad dressings and cream cheese individual packets. 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. Corrected-S. Krippel and AVI employees determined that numerous products on the cold line such as cooked bacon, dry cheeses and some raw veggies did not require and we made space for the TCS salad dressings. The cream cheese was an oversight and AVI staff had intended to place it in the reach in cooler. Both violations corrected during inspection.

Standard Inspection
Critical: TCS foods were not being held at the proper temperature. Several TCS salad dressing in squirt bottles on the counter are being held at room temperature (above 41F) during lunch for two hours and then placed back in the cooler. 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. If this facility uses time in lieu of temperature for holding TCS foods without refrigeration you must 1) upgrade to a C4S FSO, 2) have a written policy in place approved by CCBH indicating which foods will be held in this manner, and 3) time stamp the foods in question and discard them after four hours--or--store these TCS foods at or below 41F to inhibit pathogen growth.
