Improper cooling methods used
(corrected on site)
Inspector notes: At the prep area across from the ware washing station observed two trays of cooked chicken tinga with internal temperatures between 95-99°F cooling in shallow ice baths with ice contacting only the bottom of the pans. After reviewing the cooling logs it was determined the chicken tinga had been cooling since 12 PM (1 hour). After checking the internal temperatures 30 minutes later (1.5 hours) the chicken tinga's temperature measured between 90-95°F. TCS foods must be cooled in: uncovered/loosely covered, shallow containers less than 4 inches deep, in equipment designed to rapidly cool, by using an ice bath surround the product, by using ice as an ingredient, or another effective means. All trays of food were moved to the walk in cooler at time of inspection to rapidly cool. Final temperature measured at 70°F at 2PM (2 hours). Provided cooling methods document, if using ice baths ensure all sides of the container are surrounded by ice
