FOOD TEMPERATURE CONTROL
3c Hold hot at 135 °F or greater
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
Most food poisonings are associated with foods held at temperatures between 41oF and 140oF for extended periods of time. Health Department inspections stress temperature control of potentially hazardous food.
Bacterial growth and possible toxin production by some bacteria, can occur in potentially hazardous foods that remain at temperatures between 41oF and 140oF for extended periods of time. Bacterial growth is greatly reduced when food temperatures reach 120oF. It is almost completely inhibited at 140oF.
Bacterial growth and possible toxin production by some bacteria, will occur in potentially hazardous foods that remain at temperatures between 41oF and 140oF for extended periods of time. If a food is held “off” temperature (between 41oF and 140oF) for only a short time, no significant bacterial growth or toxin production should occur. When time is used to control bacterial growth, potentially hazardous foods can be held off temperature for only four hours or less. After this time any food product that has not been served must be discarded. Operations that use time as a control must develop a plan that outlines food handling procedures, identifies when a food item is removed from temperature control and when it is to be disposed of. This plan must be approved by the Health Department.

IMPROPER CLEANING OF EQUIPMENT AND UTENSILS
12b Non-food contact surfaces
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
The surfaces of cabinets, utensil drawers, shelves, the outsides surfaces of refrigerators, hot holding equipment and other nonfood contact surfaces must be cleaned to keep them free of accumulation of food spills, dirt and grease. The presence of food debris or dirt on nonfood contact surfaces may provide a suitable environment for the growth of bacteria. Workers may inadvertently transfer this contamination to food. Accumulation of food spills and food residue on nonfood contact surfaces may also be a source of food and harborage of insects, rodents, and other pest.

HAND WASHING & TOILET FACILITIES
6c Soap and drying devices unavailable
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
Handwashing sinks must be kept clean and well stocked with hand soap and hand towels to encourage frequent use. Hot and cold water must be provided through a mixing valve so employees can properly wash their hands.
PHYSICAL FACILITIES
14a Plumbing not installed/maintained
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
It is critical that all plumbing fixtures, water and sewer lines in food establishments be maintained in proper working order. Poorly maintained plumbing systems may result in potential heath hazard such as cross connections, the back up of sewage, or leakage. These conditions may directly result in the contamination of food, equipment, utensils or paper goods. They can also adversely affect the ability of food handlers to adequately wash their hands, an establishment’s warewashing operations and increase the potential for cross contamination of food and equipment and utensil.
Toilet rooms and facilities must be of sanitary design and kept clean and in good repair to help prevent contamination of food preparation areas, to motivate employees to maintain a high degree of personal hygiene and to use good sanitary practices. Doors to toilet rooms must be kept closed to help prevent the possible spread of disease-causing microorganisms by flies.
PHYSICAL FACILITIES
14b Garbage and refuse accumulation/uncovered
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
The proper storage and disposal of garbage and refuse is necessary to minimize insect, rodent and odor problems. Improperly handled garbage and refuse creates nuisance conditions, makes housekeeping difficult and can result in the contamination of food, equipment and utensils. Garbage and refuse is to be removed form the food establishment daily. It is to be stored in clean, covered, leak proof trash cans, dumpsters or compactors that prevent the scattering of the garbage and refuse by birds. Garbage and refuse must not attract, or harbor or act as a breeding place for flies and rodents. Recyclable materials must be handled in the same manner as garbage and refuse so as to minimize orders, insects and rodents. Recyclable materials, garbage and refuse must be removed from the premises at least once a week.
The proper storage of recyclable materials, garbage and refuse is necessary to minimize insect, rodent and odor problems. Trash dumpster, compactors must be located on concrete or rolled asphalt pads to provide a surface that can be easily cleaned, and that inhibits the breeding of flies and rodents. Floors, walls and ceilings of recycling rooms must be constructed of smooth, durable, non-absorbent materials to facilitate easy cleaning.
Toilet rooms and facilities must be of sanitary design and kept clean and in good repair to help prevent contamination of food preparation areas, to motivate employees to maintain a high degree of personal hygiene and to use good sanitary practices. Doors to toilet rooms must be kept closed to help prevent the possible spread of disease-causing microorganisms by flies.
PHYSICAL FACILITIES
14c Floors; walls; ceilings in disrepair
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
Floors must be kept clean, free of any build up of food spills, dirt and refuse. The accumulation of soil on floors increases the potential for contamination of food, equipment and utensils. It also provides food and harborage for rodents and insects, such as flies and cockroaches. To facilitate easy cleaning, floors must be maintained and constructed to be smooth, durable, non-absorbent and easily cleanable. Floor-wall junctures must be tightly coved with concave cove base to prevent moisture and food residue from collecting in corners and along walls. Utility penetrations must be sealed to eliminate insect and rodent harborage and to prevent moisture penetrating into or through the floor.
Walls and ceilings must be kept clean and free of any build up of food spills, splash or dirt. The accumulation of soil on walls and ceilings increases the potential for contamination of food, equipment and utensils. It also provides a food source for rodents, insects, such as flies and cockroaches. To facilitate easy cleaning, walls and ceilings must be maintained and constructed to be smooth, durable, non-absorbent and easily cleanable. Utilities such as water pipes, sewer lines and electrical conduit are to be enclosed within or behind finished walls and ceilings. Utility penetrations must be sealed to eliminate insect and rodent harborage and to prevent moisture from penetrating into walls and ceilings. Exposed utility lines make cleaning difficult.

HAND WASHING & TOILET FACILITIES
6b Inaccessible
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
Food workers may be unlikely to wash their hands unless properly equipped handwashing sinks are accessible in the immediate work area. Handwashing sinks which are improperly located may be blocked by portable equipment or stacked full of soiled utensils and other items, rendering the sink unavailable for use. Nothing must block the approach to a handwashing sink thereby discouraging its use.

FOOD TEMPERATURE CONTROL
3e Hold cold at 41 °F or less
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
Most food poisonings are associated with foods held at temperatures between 41oF and 140oF for extended periods of time. Health Department inspections stress temperature control of potentially hazardous food.
The rate of bacterial growth and possible toxin production by some bacteria, can be greatly reduced when foods are held at temperatures of less than 41oF. This cold holding temperature does not generally kill the bacteria that may be present in food, but will slow or inhibit their growth.

FOOD TEMPERATURE CONTROL
3f Food thermometer not available
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
Most food poisonings are associated with foods held at temperatures between 41oF and 140oF for extended periods of time. Health Department inspections stress temperature control of potentially hazardous food.
Because food temperature control is so critical in assuring food safety all foods establishment must have and must use an accurate thermometer to check food temperatures. Food product thermometers are to be scaled 0—220oF. They must be accurate to +/-2oF. Food workers need to verify that foods are being properly cooled, that they are reheated to 165oF, that they are cooked to the required temperatures, that they are held hot above 140oF, etc. by using a thermometer.
WATER * SEWAGE * PLUMBING SYSTEMS
5b Hot & cold water inadequate
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
The availability of sufficient, safe water is a basic requirement for proper sanitation within a food establishment. All water supplied to food establishments, either from public systems or private wells, must meet the requirements of the Colorado Primary Drinking Water Regulations. A sufficient supply of hot water is critical for employee hand washing, washing of equipment and utensils, and general cleaning needed in all food establishments.
TESTING DEVICES
11a Refrigeration units not provided with accurate, conspicuous thermometer
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
Conspicuous thermometers are required in all refrigeration units and hot food holding cabinets where potentially hazardous foods are stored. Maintaining foods at safe temperatures is critical in controlling the growth of disease-causing bacteria. Should the temperature of a refrigerator exceed 41oF or a hot holding cabinet be less than 140oF, bacterial growth can occur. In order to facilitate the routine monitoring of equipment temperatures, clearly visible thermometers must be provided in all refrigerations and hot holding cabinets and must be routinely checked by food establishment personnel.
IMPROPER CLEANING OF EQUIPMENT AND UTENSILS
12b Non-food contact surfaces
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
The surfaces of cabinets, utensil drawers, shelves, the outsides surfaces of refrigerators, hot holding equipment and other nonfood contact surfaces must be cleaned to keep them free of accumulation of food spills, dirt and grease. The presence of food debris or dirt on nonfood contact surfaces may provide a suitable environment for the growth of bacteria. Workers may inadvertently transfer this contamination to food. Accumulation of food spills and food residue on nonfood contact surfaces may also be a source of food and harborage of insects, rodents, and other pest.
PHYSICAL FACILITIES
14d Lighting inadequate
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
Light levels are specified so that sufficient light is available to enable workers to read labels, identify toxic materials, recognize the condition of food, utensils and other supplies, work safely and to evaluate cleaning. Sufficient light makes the need for cleaning apparent by making any accumulation of food spills and other soil conspicuous. Lights that are shielded, coated or shatter resistant help prevent breakage and contamination of food, clean equipment, utensils and single service items from fragments of glass should a bulb break.
