Maintain a safe refrigerated food storage, and 2. Maintain water temperature records for the manual dishwashing station. Findings Include: 1. During an initial tour of the kitchen on 12/17/19 at 09:50 AM, the walk-in refrigerator (GC14) was noted to have employee food stored on one of the shelves. The stored food was not labeled, not dated, and not being monitored. The Food Service Manager (FSM), who accompanied the initial tour, was queried about the stored food and acknowledged that the food was not labeled, not dated, and not being monitored. 2. During a follow up visit to the kitchen on 12/19/19 at 09:59 AM, FSM stated that their dishwashing machine had recently broken down and they were manually washing all the dishes. FSM explained the details of their manual washing process. However, upon review of records the facility had not recorded and/or maintained the water temperature for their washing since they started the manual washing process. On 12/19/19 at 11:00 AM, the FSM acknowledged that the facility had not recorded and/or maintained the water temperature for their manual washing process as previously mentioned. FSM actually created a new updated manual washing log which included the missing washing temperatures. 2020-09-01
