PRIORITY VIOLATION-3-501.14, P: Cooling. For a permanent fix to this violation, check out these simple tools in our Active Managerial Control Toolbox, made especially for you. https://www.maricopa.gov/4617/AMC-Toolbox---Cooling. ------- In the walk in cooler, observed 2 large covered and stacked metal containers of cooling raw chicken wings measuring 58-74*F internally when measured with a probe thermometer. The inspectors and establishments thermometers were calibrated at the time of inspection. Observed the containers tightly packed with 6-8 inches thick of wings. The cook stated they had defrosted two cases of raw wings in the food prep sink under cold running water for approximately 1 hour at 10am (observed at 3:00pm). Discussed that foods prepared with ingredients from cold or frozen ingredients should be cooled within 4 hours to 41*F or less. Cool most efficiently in shallow, uncovered pans in walk-ins, reach-ins or freezers. Advised PIC to actively monitored rapidly thawed foods using running water to ensure they are removed from the water upon reaching 41*F. Observed another case of chicken prepared at the same time from already defrosted chicken that measured 41*F or below. Since the chicken did not cool in the allotted 4 hours, the manager voluntarily discarded both containers of raw chicken wings at the time of inspection (see embargo).
