COOLING OF POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS FOOD Critical

Refried beans noted not being cooled using adequate methods to ensure proper cooling within 6 hours. Shallow pans with a large surface area must be used to cool refried beans. This was discussed with manager to correct the violation going forward.

Comment 5 - Inspector General Comment

When cooling beans it is recommended to only fill pans half way allow venting of steam and put in the cooler as soon as possible. Placing the pan in another pan with ice water (ice bath) is recommended.

THAWING POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS FOOD

Potentially hazardous foods (fish) noted not being thawed using approved methods. Running water should be used when thawing TCS foods in the sink.
