3-501.16(A)(2) Maintain TCS foods in cold holding at 41F or less. -P- EHS observed stand up RIC with the following TCS food items inside:
Hot dogs: 55F, Nachos Cheese: 56F, and Cheese Slices: 53F. The cooler had an ambient temperature of 56.5F. -CDI- PIC voluntarily discarded all of the TCS food items.
EHS and PIC discussed, and the other stand up RIC cooler next to the cooler that was reading at 56.5F ambient had an ambient of 38F. Both coolers are the same. -CDI- PIC stated that the facility will move the non-TCS drinks into the cooler with an ambient of 56.5F and use the cooler that was reading 38F ambient for TCS foods moving forward.
Ensure TCS foods in cold holding at 41F and below.
