22 3 Proper cold holding temperatures Yes Yes No REPEAT. 3-501.16(A)(2) Maintain TCS foods in cold holding at 41F or less. -P Observed pepperoni and tomato sauce in right side of pizza maketop at 44F. CDI- Food handler explained both items were brought to make top from lowboy and WIC within the last 1.5 hours. Food cools back to 41F within half hour of make-top lids being closed. (-3) NOTE: Staff should monitor temperatures of TCS foods at the make-top periodically during prep. If TCS foods cannot be maintained at 41F and below, lower ambient temperature of equipment, utilize TPHC, or other corrective action. EHS also recommended rearranging each section of the make-top so unused sections may remain closed (ie. move pepperoni to left side of make-up, so both sides are not needed to remain open in order to access only one ingredient). Additionally, make-top should be closed when dough is being stretched and make-top ingredients not yet needed. Risk control plan may result at next inspection if cold holding is out of compliance.
