Item No.: 08
Site: Potable Water-Air Conditioning Stations - General
Violation: The new brown plastic piping installed in the fan rooms for the wash down of the ventilation units was not striped to indicate potable water. Some of the ship's team initially thought it was a technical water line. Others thought it might be a new potable line. The inspection team tested the water and found the free chlorine residual to be 1.52 PPM, indicating that it was potable water.

Item No.: 13
Site: Buffet-Terrace Cafe
Violation: Management at each outlet in the buffet was in charge of monitoring the operation to ensure it complied with the time control plan. Multiple outlets had either improperly affixed time control labels for potentially hazardous foods or none at all.

Item No.: 16
Site: Buffet-Terrace Cafe
Violation: The time control discard labeling was inconsistent throughout the buffet and nonexistent in several locations. The buffet was open for lunch more than 4 hours (10:00 to 16:00). At the aft grill outlet, the reach-in refrigerator had a time control discard label of 14:00 on the door but each individual container of potentially hazardous food inside was not labeled with a time control discard label. In the cold well on the service line in the aft grill outlet, a container of cooked spaghetti noodles was on time control, but the discard label was affixed to the side of the light fixture above the buffet. At the center cold buffet island, none of the trays of potentially hazardous food out for service had a time control discard label affixed to it. Time control discard labels for some of the potentially hazardous food items were affixed to the side of the light fixture above the buffet on the starboard side of the cold buffet, but no labels were located for any potentially hazardous food items on the port side. No time control discard labels were located for any food items on the main hot line and the port and starboard carving stations. According to management, staff may have mistakenly removed the time control labels from the buffet after the inspector arrived at the aft grill outlet and made the initial time control discard label observation, but this could not be confirmed.
Recommendation: If time only-rather than time in conjunction with temperature-is used as the public health control for a working supply of potentially hazardous food before cooking, or for ready-to-eat potentially hazardous food that is displayed or held for service for immediate consumption, ensure the food (1) Has an initial temperature of 5C (41F) or less or 57C (135F) or greater before placement on time control. (2) Is not be placed on temperature control again. (3) Is marked or otherwise identified to indicate the time 4 hours past the point in time when the food is removed from temperature control (if the time between service set-up and closing is greater than 4 hours. and (4) Is discarded within 4 hours of placement on time control.
