206 - Hot potentially hazardous food stored/displayed below 60 °C. [s. 14(2)]
Observation (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION):
1) The cooked bacon was being held at room temperature at the assembly area, and extra was stored under the bun racks. Staff indicated that the bacon was made at 10am and it remains at these locations until used, or discarded at the end of the day. Review of the premise's operational manual was conducted, and it did instruct staff to follow the observed procedure. Hot, potentially hazardous foods must be stored at 140F or hotter to prevent pathogen growth.
2) The cooked onions and mushrooms were found to be 138F in the hot holding unit. The hot holding unit was set at the highest setting. Review of the temperature logs indicate that the food temperatures ranged from 132F-138F. Hot foods must be held at 140F or hotter to prevent pathogen growth.
Corrective Action(s):
1) Immediately discard all the bacon. Bacon must be stored in a hot holding unit at 140F, or at room temperature for a maximum of 2 hours and then discarded. Retrain staff on the proper procedure. During the inspection, staff discarded the bacon.
2) Immediately discard the cooked mushrooms and onions. Only place a shallow layer of food in the holding unit so it is 140F, or discard food after 2 hours. Remind staff of these procedures. During the inspection, staff discarded the cooked onions and mushrooms, and made a new batch.
