Two plastic food service trays of fried chicken were observed sitting beside the two tier hot holding unit at ambient room temperature. The cook stated that these items were being cooled down to place in cold holding. Both trays of fried chicken were probed with a state issued calibrated thermometer at 79 degrees and 89 degrees. The cook stated that these items were removed from hot holding at 6am. The inspection started at 9:15 am. Neither tray had a temperature below 70 degrees within the 2 hour time frame for cooling from hot holding to 70 degrees. The cook voluntarily discarded the improperly cooled foods during the inspection. A TDA handout explaining cooling procedures was given to the firm. |
