#15 — Food Separated and ProtectedPriority3-302.11

PRIORITY VIOLATION-3-302.11 (A1-2), P: Packaged and Unpackaged Food-Separation, Packaging, and Segregation; Protection From Cross Contamination. 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/4621/AMC-Toolbox---Cross-Contamination. >>> Observed raw pork sausages, in a plastic bag, stored on a speed rack in the walk-in cooler directly above a covered pan of cooked and ready-to-eat (RTE) shepherd's pie. PIC placed the raw pork sausages below all RTE foods on the speed rack. Reviewed food storage and cross-contamination. RTE foods should be above and separated from other foods that require cooking such as pork sausage (155F final cooking temp). Separating different types of raw animal and RTE foods during storage, preparation, holding and display will prevent cross-contamination from one to the other. The required separation is based on a succession of cooking temperatures as specified under § 3-401.11 which are based on pathogen destruction. PIC will retrain employees and review the Food Storage handout. Correct By: Corrected At Time Of Inspection

#22 — Proper Cold Holding TemperaturesPriority3-501.16

PRIORITY VIOLATION-3-501.16(A)(2) and (B), P: Time/Temperature Control for Safety Food, Cold Holding. 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/4576/AMC-Toolbox---Cold-Holding. >>> Observed house made coleslaw and banana pudding (dairy-based) cold holding in the server's 2-door reach-in refrigerator with internal temperatures of 49-51F, probe thermometer, verified by PIC. The reach-in observed with a minimum ambient air temperature of 51F. According to PIC, the banana pudding was cold holding in the reach-in for less than 4 hours and the coleslaw was stored in the reach-in overnight. PIC placed the banana pudding in the walk-in cooler to rapidly cool to 41F and discarded the coleslaw, see embargo form. Discussed routinely checking the internal temperature of TCS foods to ensure that it is 41F or below. Temperature is an important factor in limiting pathogen growth. Bacterial growth and/or toxin production can occur if time/temperature control for safety food remains in the temperature "Danger Zone" of 41F to 135F too long.

#23 — Proper Date Marking and DispositionPriority3-501.18

PRIORITY VIOLATION-3-501.18, P: Ready-To-Eat Time/Temperature Control for Safety Food - Disposition. 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/4125/Food-SafetyOperator-Resources. >>> Observed two hotel pans of house made white bean soup, labeled with a start date of 10/31 and discard date of 11/06. The soup should have been discarded the day prior to inspection. PIC discarded the soup, see embargo form. According to PIC, the white bean soup is on the menu as an "always available" item. Discussed making the amount of soup that is required for the week or freezing excess amounts. The Food Code requires that TCS foods be dated and discarded 7 days after opening/prep when held at 41F or less. Listeria is the pathogen of concern, which cannot be observed by looking at the food in question. PIC will retrain staff to discard TCS foods on or prior to the discard date.

#33 — Proper Cooling Methods Used; Adequate Equipment for Temperature ControlPriority foundation3-501.15

Priority Foundation-3-501.15 (A), Pf: Cooling Methods. 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. >>> Observed recently cut lettuce cooling in a tightly covered plastic container around 10-12" deep and a tightly covered, 6" half pan of recently prepped shepherd's pie cooling in the walk-in cooler. PIC divided the cooling TCS foods into multiple additional shallow pans, loosely covered and placed into the walk-in cooler to rapidly cool to 41F. PIC will retrain employees on proper cooling methods such as using shallow metal pans that are loosely covered and placed into the walk-in cooler/freezer on a speed rack or top shelf to facilitate airflow. Ice wands, using ice as an ingredient and frequent stirring also help to facilitate rapid cooling. TCS foods must cool from 135-70F in 2 hours and from 70-41F in the next 4 hours.

This address holds 3 food permits

Maricopa County issues a separate permit for each kitchen rather than for each restaurant name, so large properties hold several. Each is inspected and scored on its own. The county does not publish which kitchen serves which venue.
