Observed when testing sanitizer that the PIC inside of the deli could not speak to how long to submerge their Quaternary Ammonia test strips when testing sanitizer. The PIC stated 30 seconds. I next observed the PIC inside of the Meat department who only dip test strip for 1 second to register the parts per million. Per the manufacturer's instructions, Quaternary Ammonia tests strips must be dipped for 10 seconds to register the proper parts per million needed to effectively sanitize. I also observed when asking PIC inside of the bakery the proper cooling process for their TCS frosting they were not able to speak to the date marking involved between thawing and opening but also how to properly thaw. PIC stated that they thaw or defrost by siting the product outside of the freezer at ambient temperature. Per Kroger's processes, all TCS frosting must be date marked when it is placed into thawing in a cooler but also once it is opened too in order to insure its used within 30 days. |
I spoke to sanitizer testing and process. The manager PIC was also advised to replace sanitizer teaching diagram above the meat department 3 compartment sink. |

Observed Deli slicers # 2 and # 3 stored clean with heavy spillage and encrusted foods set up on the blade and guard. I also observed the Meat department's band saw with encrusted old food residue on all blade guides and on blade wheel. PIC stated that they still use this equipment when they have meat sales and specials or are needing to cut bulk whole meats like ribs per customer request. |
PICs voluntarily placed all dirty food equipment into cleaning. |
