Co-op

Deli: Chicken tenders were measured at 11 °C at the time of inspection. The operator had kept the chicken at room temperature; however, it had been out for less than the 2‑hour time limit. The operator was instructed to reheat the chicken to an internal temperature of 74 °C and then hold it at or above 60 °C. The operator was further instructed that cooked foods must be maintained at either under 4 °C or above 60 °C to prevent bacterial growth and contamination.

Deli: Improper thawing practices were observed. The operator was thawing frozen garlic and gravy by placing them in a bucket of standing water. The operator was instructed that frozen foods must be thawed under cold running water, in a refrigerator/cooler, or by another approved method to prevent temperature abuse and reduce the risk of bacterial growth.

Warehouse: A significant gap was observed beneath the receiving back door. The operator was advised to repair the door to prevent potential pest entry.
