Corrected during inspection; critical; repeat: TCS foods not being cold held at the proper temperature. Observed cooked chicken sitting out on the grill/wok line at 58F. TCS food that is not under time control (4 hours) should be held either at 135F or above or 41F or below to prevent microbial growth.

Corrected during inspection; critical; repeat: Refrigerated, ready-to-eat, TCS foods not properly date marked. Observed various TCS food items throughout the facility not properly date marked. Upon informing the PIC, all food products were adequately date marked.

Corrected during inspection; critical: Improper use of time as a public health control (4 hours). Observed bok choi not time marked for 4 hours. After informing the PIC, the bok choi was properly time marked.

Repeat: Improper method for cooling TCS foods. Observed cooked chicken cooling in the prep line reach-in cooler. Reach-in coolers are inadequate for cooling due to their small size and specifications.

Corrected during inspection: TCS foods not properly thawed. Observed raw imitation crab thawing at room temperature. Ensure thawing is done under refrigeration or cold running water or as part of the cook step.

Improper storage of food items. Observed various uncovered food items both in the walk-in cooler and freezers. When not cooling, food items should be covered to protect from contamination.

Corrected during inspection; critical; repeat: Equipment and/or utensils improper construction. Observed non-food grade grocery bags being used to store food products in the freezers and the walk-in cooler.

Repeat: Improper disposal of condensation and other nonsewage liquids. Observed the walk-in cooler condensing unit drain line draining into a soy sauce bucket.

Comments: Major issues observed at the time of inspection include improper cooling procedures and date marking of TCS food items. Please be sure to cool your food products from 135F to 70F within 2 hours and then from 70F to 41F or below within an additional 4 hours. Do not use reach-in coolers for cooling purposes as they are too small to effectively cool food items. Instead, place the food you wish to cool in shallow pans and store them in the walk-in while checking the temperature at regular intervals.

Date marking should be done on any TCS food item held for more than 24 hours (excluding raw product).

The facility has continued to do a good job with general cleaning and pest control. Please keep up the good work in these areas.
