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

Inspector notes: Observed an open container of hummus, dated 5/12 (16 days prior to inspection) in the refrigerator. PIC discarded the hummus, see embargo form. Discussed 7-day date marking. Day 1 begins the date that a package of TCS food is opened, such as deli meats, or cooked/prepped, such as noodles or proteins. Adding 6 to day one (6+1) determines the discard date. The Food Code requires that TCS foods be dated and discarded 7 days after opening/prep when held at 41F or less to prevent a hazardous amount of Listeria
