HACCP: Discussed proper way to hold cut tomatoes for a four hour hold time.

Once a tomatoe is cut, it is considered potentially hazardous. Cold, potentially hazardous foods can be held for a 4 hour hold time before discarding, however, the initial temperature of the tomatoe must be 41 degrees or less prior to starting the 4 hour hold. Getting the tomatoes to room temperature prior to cutting already passes the 41 degrees necessary for correctly implimenting the 4 hour hold for cold, potentially hazardous, ready to eat items. It is recommended that tomatoes are cut after taking them out of the walk in cooler and used for a 4 hour hold, or extra tomatoes not on the prep table are kept in the walk in cooler until needed.



Frozen foods were frozen.

Cl used as sanitizer.
  • Critical: Cold food at proper temperatures during storage, display, service, transport, and cold holding
    Observed tomatoes on shelf under prep area at 56 degrees.
    If time only is used as the public health control for a working supply of potentially hazardous food before cooking, or for ready-to-eat potentially hazardous food that is displayed or held for service for immediate consumption, the initial temperatures of the foods shall  be 41F (5C) or less or 135F (57C) or greater.
    Tomatoes on shelf were discarded by employee.Violation was corrected during inspection. Tomatoes cannot sit out at room temperature, be cut, and then held for a four hour hold time.
  • Thermometers provided and conspicuously placed
    Observed no thermometer in floor cooler by point of sale.
    A numerically scaled indicating thermometer/recording thermometer, accurate to plus or minus 3°F, shall be provided and conspicuously placed in each mechanical refrigerator and each hot food storage facility.
    Provide a thermomter for all cooler, freezers, hot holding equipment where necessary.
  • Single service items properly stored, handled, dispensed
    Observed bun containers and salad containers store with food contact surface exposed to contaminates.
    Single-service articles shall be handled and dispensed in a manner which prevents contamination of surfaces which may come in contact with food or with the mouth of the user.

Spoke with manager, Jennifer Roots regarding complaint.  They have received a new bacon a couple of weeks ago.  It is labeled Burger King, Regular Bulk Smoked Bacon.  It is raw and comes in a 30 pound box.  The bacon is cooked 12 minutes, cooled 10 minutes, and then put in pan at ambient air temperature on dressing table.   Instruction from their corporation indicates this bacon can then be held at abient air temperature for up to 2 days.  Since the previous bacon they received was pre-cooked and the reliability of changing the raw bacon to a non-potentially hazardous bacon remains the responsibility of each store, I cautioned the facility to use temperature control only and mark dressing table bacon wtih 4 hour out label until it is determined that this bacon is recognized as non-potentially hazardous by the health department.  Bacon in dressing table did not appear to look raw and was cooked to a stiff state. -
No violation noted during this evaluation.
