Happy Buns

Inspector's notes

Observed large container of red bean dessert buns out at room temperature for service. PIC said they had been removed from freezer and held at room temperature approximately 3.75 hours prior to inspection. Buns reported at 63 degrees Fahrenheit at center of bun. PIC inquired how they were TCS if other bakeries served them at room temperature. Explained to PIC other establishments used time as control for red bean buns as they are often served at room temperature. Discussed time as control procedure with PIC. PIC wrote time of discard for rest of buns on container and pulled them from sale to discard at specified time. All TCS foods improperly cold held were discarded by PIC at time of inspection. 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. Corrective Action: Corrected at time of inspection.
