This report was reviewed with and signed by Sue Dong.

COLD HOLDING, HOT HOLDING, REHEATING, TIME IN LIEU OF TEMPERATURE (-)
Today items were observed holding at improper temperatures. Documentation was not available to verify cooling etc. Food not handled safely and/ or in the temperature danger zone (42-134 F) has the potential to cause food borne illness. Recommend the facility begin keeping temperature logs for any food that they are cooking then cooling as well as for items on their buffet and inside of their coolers. This will help ensure that food is being held at proper temperatures.
HAND WASHING AND PREVENTION OF CONTAMINATION
Hand washing sinks were stocked accordingly. However, the hand sink the person in charge stated is used most often did not have a trash can nearby. This should be provided to aid in proper hand washing (hands should be washed thoroughly and properly dried).
TEMPERATURE MEASURING DEVICES (+)
Temperature measuring devices were readily available in all coolers and for monitoring temperatures. The person in charge properly calibrated his thermometer at the beginning of the inspection upon request.
DATE MARKING (-)
Items inside of a black reach in cooler were not date marked. Food held more than 24 hours (longer than the day it was cooked on) should be properly date marked.
PROTECTION FROM CONTAMINATION (+)
