2-103.11(M) Person in Charge-Duties Pf - When questioning a random employee about the employee health policy, he was unsure how of the employee health policy. Once the person in charge (PIC) and I showed him the employee health placard, he seemed to be aware. To avoid confusion, and due to some language barriers, consider having signed acknowledgment forms for each employee. I provided a copy of the employee health policy acknowledgment form in Spanish. |

3-501.17 Ready-To-Eat Potentially Hazardous Food (Time/Temperature Control for Safety Food), Date Marking Pf - One container of chicken curry was not dated in the reach in cooler. One reach in freezer had prepared RTE food without dates. I spoke with the PIC and he dated all of the food. Overall, date marking practices are very good and the PIC has good knowledge and control of the shelf life of products. Please make sure that the prep/freeze date is subtracted from the overall 7 days when the product is thawed. All applicable RTE food, kept longer than 24 hours, shall be properly dated and used within 7 days. The time foods are frozen does not count towards the 7. |
