Code   Description / Observation / Corrective Action
402   Food is protected from contamination (Sec 12(b))
Observation: The gravy and soup was put into the hot holding units cold.
Corrective Action: Ensure that all reheated food is cooked to 74C and then held at 60C. Many hot holding units cannot quickly heat foods to 74C - ensure that all foods are quickly heated to 74C before they are hot held.
507   Equipment, utensils and food surfaces are washed and sanitized (Sec 17(2))
Observation: The meat slicer stored in the dry storage area had not been cleaned properly before it was put away. There was a significant buildup of food still left on the blades.
