Inspector's notes
Observed refrigerated beverage case with juice beverages labeled "Perishable; keep refrigerated" in the case. A min-max thermometer was placed into the refrigerated beverage case and allowed to stabilize for 15 minutes. The ambient air temperature inside of the beverage case as measured using a min-max thermometer was 47°F. The internal temperature of the perishable juice as measured using a probe thermometer was holding at 48°F. According to the person in charge, the juice had been inside of the refrigerated case since yesterday. The juice was embargoed at time of inspection (see embargo form). Person in charge reached out to a technician to service the unit. In the meantime, no time and temperature controlled for safety foods will be held in that case until it is repaired. The establishment has sufficient cold holding capacity to maintain safe operations. Except during preparation, cooking, cooling or when time is used as a control all TCS foods must be maintained at 41°F or below. Eggs not treated to destroy Salmonellae can be stored in equipment that maintains an ambient air temperature of 45°F or below. Corrective Action: Corrected at time of inspection.
