#23 — Proper Date Marking and DispositionPriority3-501.18

Inspector's notes

In the walk-in cooler and cook-line reach-ins, observed house-made tuna salad dated 5/7 (8 days prior to inspection) and no dates on open package of cottage cheese and deli ham. PIC discarded cottage cheese and tuna salad, see embargo form, and dated the ham. Discussed 7-day date marking. Day 1 begins the date that a package of TCS food is opened, such as deli meats, or cooked/prepped, such as noodles or proteins. Adding 6 to day one (6+1) determines the discard date. The Food Code requires that TCS foods be dated and discarded 7 days after opening/prep when held at 41F or less to prevent a hazardous amount of Listeria. Corrective Action: Corrected at time of inspection.
