Expired or improperly marked ready-to-eat food not discarded (corrected on site)

Inspector notes: In the walk-in cooler and cook-line reach-ins, observed an opened deli ham dated 5/3 (12 days prior to inspection) and no dates on open packages/prepared cooked pasta salad, sliced ham, and spring salad (cut leafy greens). PIC discarded the spring mix and the hams, see embargo form, and dated the pasta salad. The Food Code requires that TCS foods be discarded 7 days after opening/prep when held at 41F or less. Listeria is the pathogen of concern, which cannot be observed by looking at the food in question. Day 1 begins the date that a package of TCS food is opened, such as deli meats, or once cooked/prepped, such as noodles or proteins. Adding 6 to the start date (6+1) determines the discard date

Equipment or utensils not clean (corrected on site)

Inspector notes: Observed dried food debris and soil on equipment stored as clean in the prep area, such as: the blade of the can opener, blade and food-contact surfaces of the deli slicer, and the blades of knives on a magnetic strip. PIC relocated the soiled equipment to be washed and sanitized and will remove equipment that is not used. Suggested inspecting equipment in better detail and with more sufficient lighting before storing as clean and ready to use. Equipment food contact surfaces and utensils shall be clean to sight and touch. Discussed the hazards of TCS foods left on equipment that is stored at room temperature. Many foodborne illness pathogens grow rapidly in the danger zone (41-135F). TCS food debris remaining on clean equipment is a potential source of contamination for foods that come into contact with the equipment
