PIC Performing Duties

CFM/PIC not performing rerquired duties as evidenced by improper practices during Inspection and lack of knowledge from both PIC/CFM on calibration of thermometer time/temperature controls for cooking cooling reheating and Danger Zone parameters.PICD/CFM didn't know how to properly test sanitizer in sink.I couldn't determine whether or not a Consumer Advisory is needed because PIC/CFM couldn't explain cooking temperatures for product on his own Menu.The PIC/CFM didn't know any information concerning the Employee Health policy as it relates to thne Food Codes(The Codes are not onsite.I can't even have him refer to the resource for guidance).Due to the fundamental lack of proper food safety principles and prqactices observed taking place and the loss of knowledge from the CFM a recertification needs to occur immediately.Provide documentation that a full time employee has signed up for an upcoming class.

Why This Matters

EXTREME RISK: Without active management, ALL five CDC risk factors go unchecked. Studies show restaurants without certified managers have 2.5 times more critical violations. Lack of supervision leads to: temperature abuse (bacteria double every 20 minutes), cross-contamination spreading pathogens, sick employees working with food, improper cooking allowing pathogen survival. This single violation enables conditions for major outbreaks.

Code Requirements

PIC MUST: Be present during ALL operating hours; Hold valid food safety certification; Actively monitor employee health and hygiene; Ensure proper cooking, cooling, and holding temperatures; Verify foods from approved sources; Monitor handwashing compliance; Ensure equipment properly sanitized; Take immediate corrective actions for violations; Demonstrate knowledge to health inspector; Train and supervise all food employees.

Corrective Actions

IMMEDIATE: Designate qualified PIC immediately; If no certified manager available, cease operations; Implement active managerial control system; Create monitoring logs for all CDC risk factors; Retrain management on responsibilities; Post PIC duties checklist
