PROPER HOT AND COLD HOLDING TEMPERATURES (CORRECTED ON SITE)
Why This Matters
Temperature abuse causes 63% of foodborne outbreaks. Clostridium perfringens multiplies rapidly between 70-120°F. Listeria grows even at refrigeration temperatures.
What Was Observed
Measured trout at 45F and 47F at the tall open face cooler in the customer area. The trout had been there for 1 hours. The cooler and other foods inside the cooler measured 41F. Per the operator, the trout spent less than one hour on display in the open face beverage cooler at the cash registers that measured an ambient temperature of 55F. The trout therefore spent less than 2 hours out of holding temperature, and was moved to the walk-in to bring it back to 41F. Measured shrimp at 47F stored on the iced fish display case. The shrimp had been handled/peeled about an hour ago. The shrimp was moved to the walk-in cooler to bring it back to 41F.

Two of the three buckets were immediately replenished. Measured 0 ppm of quaternary ammonium at the sanitize compartment at the three-compartment sink. There were no utensils being actively washed.
