#22 — Proper Cold Holding TemperaturesPriority3-501.16

Inspector's notes

Observed various kinds of raw shrimp, octopus, scallops, and cooked shrimp with internal temperatures ranging 45*F-54*F at the display case. The raw shrimp and octopus that were out of temperature were placed higher on the display case and not touching ice. The scallops and cooked shrimp were in a separate display case on long metal pans. The time that these products were out of temperature was unknown by PIC at time of inspection. Informed PIC that these products need to be discarded. PIC discarded all improperly cold held items at time of inspection. Food was embargoed. PIC had staff add more ice to the units at time of inspection. Discussed with PIC that thawing may be a possible reason for the product being out of temperature in the display case. Suggested to PIC, once product is thawed, to place in the walk-in refrigerator or freezer unit until the product is cooled to 41*F. Suggested using a thermometer to take initial temperature of the products placed in the display case. Instructed PIC to make sure all the product is kept on ice to ensure proper cold holding. 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. All TCS foods improperly cold held were discarded by PIC at time of inspection. Corrective Action: Corrected at time of inspection.
