203 - Food not cooled in an acceptable manner [s. 12(a)]
Observation (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION): 2 containers of green curry in the reach in cooler were improperly cooled as their internal temperature measured above 4C. Staff are not checking the temperature of cooked foods before storing them in the cooler.
Corrective Action(s): Discussed with staff - cooked foods must be cooled as per the following:
> From 60C to 20C within 2 hours
> From 20C to 4C within 4 hours

Internal temperature of food must not remain between 20-60C for more than 2 hours. If more than 2 hours, the food must be DISCARDED.

Obtain a probe thermometer to perform temperature checks.
