3-501.16(A)(2) Maintain TCS foods in cold holding at 41F or less. -P - Observed multiple items on the make line above 41F (corn, seaweed salad, edamame). Foods above 41F were uncovered. Other TCS foods in make line (raw salmon, raw tuna, crabmeat, crab stick, shrimp) were covered with lids and observed at or below 41F. PIC stated the make line is turned off at night, then turned on when the facility opens at 11am and TCS foods are immediately placed in the make line unit, before the unit drops to the proper cold holding temperature of 41F or below. - CD- PIC covered TCS foods above 41F with lids to ensure rapid cooling. By end of inspection, TCS foods temperatures dropped to proper cold holding temperatures. EHS and PIC discussed alternate methods to ensure TCS foods hold at 41F, including turning on the make line unit prior to the facility opening and not placing TCS foods in the unit until it properly cold holds. PIC stated he will turn on the make line unit earlier to ensure proper cold holding.

3-501.15 Quickly cool foods. Use methods such as open/vented shallow pans, large ice baths and active stirring. Cold air must flow around product to remove the heat. -Pf. -Observed edamame and crabmeat cooling in the lowboy and RIC in large plastic containers, stacked and covered tightly with lids. When TCS foods are cooling in the RIC or lowboy, ensure the containers are uncovered to allow for proper cold air flow. -CDI- PIC immediately uncovered edamame and crabmeat cooling meat at start of inspection. By end of inspection, both foods were observed cooling at sufficient rates.
