Inspector's notes
TCS food items including milk, cottage cheese, salsa, sour cream and cream cheese found with internal temperatures of 41-50*F in reach-in cooler near soda fountain. PIC stated they had not checked the fridge today and discarded the items that had been in the cooler longer than 4 hours. Items that were still at 41*F or below and also the items that were in the cooler less than 4 hours were moved to the walk-in for cooling and continued cold holding. The ambient temperature for the reach-in cooler was 50*F during inspection. The reach-in will not be used for cold holding TCS food items until it has been replaced/repaired and able to maintain an ambient temperature of 41*F or below. Discussed frequent opening during meal service which may have cause the cooler to rise in temperature: alternative means of cold holding include ice baths for items frequently access so that fridge doesn't have to be opened as often. Time as a control is also an option for items that may be used up during meal service. Corrective Action: Corrected at time of inspection.
