Observed the following improper storage arrangement in the walk-in cooler: raw chicken stored above pork, raw beef stored above lunchables, raw chicken stored above pork seasoning, and raw beef stored above pork seasoning.

The walk-in cooler shall be properly organized and rearranged to ensure safe food storage practices.
Ready-to-eat foods shall be stored, prepared, held, and displayed separately from raw animal foods to prevent cross-contamination from harmful pathogens. If storage or display equipment loses power or fails, corrective action must be taken immediately. Raw and ready-to-eat foods, including bulk-packaged items prepared on-site, present an increased risk of contamination due to handling, drippage, partial thawing, or incomplete packaging seals. Different types of raw animal foods must also be separated from each other based on their required cooking temperatures to reduce the risk of cross-contamination. This separation is required throughout storage, preparation, holding, and display. EHS provided management with storage arrangement charts to assist with storage arrangement in the walk-in cooler. VERIFICATION REQUIRED, REPEAT
NOTE: The walk-in cooler shall be thoroughly organized, as linens, food , single-use and single-service articles, and equipment were observed stored together in an unorganized manner with no clear separation or designated storage areas. |
