PIC Performing Duties

The CFPM is not monitoring HACCP plan requirements and proper storage of TCS raw foods. Provide active managerial control as it is defined in the 2013 food code under PIC duties.

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

Inadequate Facilities/Cooling Methods

Walkin cooler is over capacity with raw TCS foods being stored in close proximity to raw chicken and produce. Provide additional refrigeration or re organized and use current on site refrigeration to properly seperate TCS raw foods. ie. Glass cooler being used to store commercially prepared Mae Ploy Sauce with a PH of 3.8 Product is able to be stored without refrigeration. Would rather see on site refrigeration being utilized to seperate raw TCS foods. COS.
