Inadequate Facilities/Cooling Methods
Staff have been cooling boiled products within plastic containers. The product is transferred from metal pots to plastic containers which have been set within an ice bath. The plastic is a poor conductor of heat. As such the ice bath was observed to have very little cooling effect on the food product within the container. The ownership and management should identify more appropriate means of cooling the food products from 140 to 70 F (2 hours) and 70 to 40 F (4 hours). The use of ice / chill wands shallow pans metal pots frequent stirring are potential options.
