105  Critical Repeat Inadequate Cooling & Refrigerated Storage of Potentially Hazardous Food(s)
Observation: A number of refrigerators were not keeping potentially hazardous foods at or below 4C.
Corrective Action: Some food items were re-located to other fridges. Discontinue storing any potentially hazardous foods in refrigerators not capable of maintaining foods at or below 4C until they can be repaired.
105  Critical Inadequate Cooling & Refrigerated Storage of Potentially Hazardous Food(s)
Observation: An ice bath was being used to store inserts of baked potato toppings.

105  Critical Inadequate Cooling & Refrigerated Storage of Potentially Hazardous Food(s)
Observation: The yogurt and fruit cups are not all being maintained at or below 4C.
Corrective Action: Overstocking the self-serve unit has resulted in insufficient air circulation to keep all foods at an acceptable temperature. Monitor this unit every day to ensure it is not overstocked and that all potentially hazardous foods are kept at or below 4C.
105  Critical Inadequate Cooling & Refrigerated Storage of Potentially Hazardous Food(s)
Observation: The staff were unsure whether the date squares required refrigeration.

106  Critical Inadequate Hot Holding Temperature of Potentially Hazardous Food(s)
Observation: The Alto Sham hot holding unit was not keeping foods above 60C.

112   Poor Sanitary Design, Construction, Installation of Equipment & Utensils

Corrective Action: Refinish the shelves to create surfaces that are smooth, non-porous and can be easily cleaned.
