203 - Food not cooled in an acceptable manner [s. 12(a)]
Observation (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION): 1) Soup broth was cooled in large buckets overnight in the walk-in cooler. Internal temperature averaged 6 - 7 degrees C when tested during inspection on following day.
2) Chicken cutlets were left out on a countertop for approximately 2 hours after cooking. Internal temperature measured at approximately 35 degrees C.
Corrective Action(s): 1) Two buckets discarded during inspection. Ensure soup is rapidly cooled by either freezing it, placing it in smaller/shallower containers, using an ice wand or an ice bath and stirring frequently. Food must cool from 60 to 20 C within 2 hours maximum, and from 20 to 4 C within a further 4 hours maximum.
2) Cutlets split up and placed into freezer. Ensure all items to be cooled follow the cooling rates mentioned in item (1) above.
