  • General Comments that relate to this Inspection
    Wendy’s 11/15/13 First Re-inspectionAll violations noted on the 11/12/13 inspection report have been corrected; with the possible exception of a need for a variance.The Schreiber Food Sliced Pasteurized American Cheese is taken out of the walk-in refrigerator; hour marked on the container; left at ambient air temperature for 1 hour; hour marked on the container when it is double stacked on the cold table and hour marked when it is to be discarded. Have the date and 7 hour storage time on the cold table clearly visible with the discard time clearly spelled out. Temperature of this double stacked cheese on the cold table was 57 degrees F. This process is in violation of both the Food Code and the Washoe County District Board of Health Food Safety Regulations. The attached 5/11/10 letter from Kevin Smith; Food and Drug Administration; states it is the FDA’s opinion that time as a public health control (based on the microbial study) can extend the cheese’s time for up to 24 hours in an ambient environment that does not exceed 88 degrees F. Therefore; the process appears safe but in violation of our regulations. To continue using this process under our regulations it appears you will need a variance. I will contact my Supervisor; Dave McNinch; concerning this matter and get back to you. With the possible need for a variance for the cheese; all violations have been corrected that were noted on the 11/12/13 inspection report.
