Observed employee putting away clean forks and knives with bare hands. Employees hands were touching the ends of the utensils that are put into the mouth.

Hot foods are cooled rapidly in shallow pans and/ or ice bath. From a cold state, foods are portioned out and then reheated to boiling before being served. It is extremely important to properly cool foods rapidly from 135-70 degrees F within 2 hours and then 70-41 degrees or below within the next 4 hours. Must rapidly reheat food to 165 degrees or above within 2 hours before serving.

During complaint investigation I completed a standard and CCP inspection. The facility had just received the new buffet unit this morning. Foods were holding at proper temperature and were protected from contamination with separate serving utensils and overhead sneeze guard. PIC explained that they did operate for a few days with a buffet with no sneeze guard because the new equipment did not arrive on time. New equipment is installed and working properly. There is no cause for further action. Complaint closed.
