3-501.19(B)(3) Follow written procedures for foods held using Time as a Public Health Control (TPHC) for 4 hours. Food shall be marked to indicate the time that is 4 hours past the point in time when the food is removed from temperature control. Pf Observed no times on pizzas had been written since prior to lunch. PIC stated they have sold many pizzas since then. EHS assessment is that due to facility volume, they have out grown the current procedure and it is no longer easy for staff to keep up with or follow. CDI: During inspection, facility implemented placing a sticker with the pizza name and time on each pan as it gets loaded onto the back up rack. The sticker will then be moved to the front counter when pizza is pulled for sale. Once the pizza is replaced, the old sticker is discarded. New TPHC procedures filled out during inspection. |
