Item No.: 16
Site: Galley-Off The Grill
Violation: Five large 4 inch deep hotel pans of chili concarne stored in the walk-in refrigerator were found holding at temperatures above 41F and were discarded. The internal temperature of each pan was measured at 64F, 47F, 70F, 61F, and 49F, respectfully. The walk-in refrigerator was working properly and several other food items stored in the walk-in had internal temperatures at 41F or below. According to staff and the cooling log, the chili concarne was prepared and cooled on 10 March. Three additional pans of chili concarne were found at proper temperatures, but were also discarded due to discrepancies in the corresponding cooling log.
Recommendation: Ensure cooked potentially hazardous food is cooled from 57C (135F) to 21C (70F) within 2 hours and from 21C (70F) to 5C (41F) or less within 4 hours.
Item No.: 17

Violation: The cooling log entry for all the chili concarne cooled on 10 March identified in the above violation, listed an initial temperature of 142F, a temperature of 68F after 2 hours, and a final temperature of 38F. These temperatures were proven to be inaccurate when the internal temperature of five different pans of chili concarne were measured at 64F, 47F, 70F, 61F, and 49F, respectfully. The other 4 entries on the cooling log with dates of 9 March and 10 March had the same exact initial, 2-hour, and final temperatures recorded. An additional cooling log with 16 entries between 2 March and 8 March had initial temperatures of either 142F or 144F, a temperature of 68F after 2 hours, and a final temperature of 38F.
Recommendation: Ensure accurate logs documenting cooked potentially hazardous food cooling temperatures and times from the starting points designated in 7.3.5.2.1 thru the control points at 2 and 6 hours are maintained onboard the vessel for a period of 30 days form the date the food was placed in the cooling process. Ensure logs documenting cooling of potentially hazardous foods prepared from ingredients at ambient temperatures, with the start time to the time when 5C (41 F) is reached are also maintained for a period of 30 days, beginning with the day of preparation.

Recommendation: If raw, raw-marinated, partially cooked, or marinated partially cooked fish are served in ready-to-eat form, ensure: (2) If the fish are frozen by a supplier, a written letter from the supplier which specifies the fish species involved and both the temperature to which the fish was frozen and the total time period at that temperature.
