#20 — Proper Cooling Time and TemperaturesPriority3-501.14

Inspector's notes

Observed the cold brew in the draft cooler with an internal temperature of 53F, probe thermometer, verified by PIC. According to PIC, water was added to the cold brew extract, which is made by steeping the grounds in water while stored in the walk-in cooler overnight, almost 5 hours before the inspection. The procedure is to add ice cold water to the extract in the morning to ensure that the cold brew is placed into the draft cooler at 41F or less; PIC suspects that room temp water was used. PIC voluntarily discarded the cold brew, see embargo form. TCS foods starting at 70F or less have 4 hours to cool to 41F or less. PIC will retrain employees on the correct procedure for cooling the cold brew. Corrective Action: Corrected at time of inspection.

#22 — Proper Cold Holding TemperaturesPriority3-501.16

Inspector's notes

Observed the cold brew, cold holding in the draft dispenser, with an internal temperature of 53-54F, probe thermometer, verified by PIC. According to PIC, the cold brew was placed into the draft refrigerator 6 hours prior to the inspection. The refrigerator had a minimum ambient air temperature of 54.3F, min/max thermometer for an unknown length of time. PIC discarded the cold brew, see embargo form, and will store and serve cold brew from a refrigerator maintaining 41F or less until the draft refrigerator is repaired. Cold brew is a TCS food that requires a temperature of 41F or below for brewing/holding/dispensing. 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. Corrective Action: Corrected at time of inspection.
