Aug 8, 2025Routine1 coreA°
Predefined Comment: No County legal action will result from this inspection.If a salsa packaging machine were to be approved these steps likely will be needed (but may not be limited to): An on-site assessment by plan review- assessing placement, wear and tear, potential for contamination, cleanability, and possible modifications to machine.The creation of a cleaning and sanitizing policy for the machine. The salsa-packaging machine is not approved and must not be used. Labeling for the salsa packages would have to meet current labeling and CFR Code requirements -including name of establishment, address/phone number, ingredients, possibly date marking, etc. The Department may require that the salsa being packaged be lab tested for pH to help determine if product is TCS or non-TCS.The Department may ask that a variance be applied for if the shelf life is extended beyond 7 days or owner wishes to keep product out of refrigeration.
Inspector's notes
