Scottsdale Village Square

Inspector notes: Observed cooked chili dated 3/4 (1day past discard date) and an open deli ham dated 3/2(3 days past discard date), in the walk-in cooler. PIC discarded the TCS foods for being held past the discard date, see embargo form. Discussed date marking and disposition. 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 date of day one (6+1) determines the discard date

Inspector notes: Certified Food Protection Manager not at establishment during the inspection. Maricopa County requires all establishments that serve open food, which requires time/temperature control for food safety, to have at least one certified Food Protection Manager (CFPM) on staff. The Person in Charge shall be a CFPM and is required to be onsite during the hours of operation. This certificate must be visible or readily accessible

Inspector notes: Observed an open energy drink can and cell phone on the wire rack above clean dishes on the clean dish rack across from the 3-compartment sink. Employee moved the personal items. Discussed beverages in cups with lids and straws. Because employees could introduce pathogens to food by hand-to-mouth-to-food contact and because street clothing and personal belongings carry contaminants, areas designated to accommodate employees' personal needs must be carefully located. Food, food equipment and utensils, clean linens, and single-service and single-use articles must not be in jeopardy of contamination from these areas
