Four decorative bowls containing pasta, tomatoes, zucchini and carrots were observed in a cold holding well within the "pasta area." The bowls are set in the center and above the rim of the well. The food product within the bowls were between 40 and 45 degrees F at the start of the inspection. The cold holding well was observed to be operating properly. As configured, the unit cannot maintain the product within the bowls at an internal temperature of 41 degrees F or below. The bowls must be replaced with properly fitting pans or other containers to provide proper cold holding. |

The inspection was completed on a Wednesday. Soiled dishes, utensils and equipment from the previous day (Tuesday) was observed within a walk-in refrigerator. The equipment had been properly marked (blue/dairy) and should have been washed and cleaned in the blue/dairy kitchen the day/evening before. It is BISD's understanding that the soiled dishes, utensils and equipment were not washed because of religious observance, but because of lack of proper staffing. If this is in fact the case, the establishment must provide sufficient staffing to address the issue. |
