F 0812 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve food in accordance with professional standards. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, policy review, and review of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) food safety guidelines, the facility failed to ensure onsite cooked food for two of two five-gallon containers of soup were cooled to 41 degrees Fahrenheit within food safety time parameters to limit, and prevent, foodborne pathogen growth. Findings included: During an observation on 01/07/21 at 10:00 a.m. with the Food Service Director (FSD), large, deep five-gallon containers were stored inside of the walk-in cooler beside the back-kitchen exit door. The FSD stated the containers held soup that was cooked yesterday on 01/06/20. The FSD retrieved a metal stem probe thermometer and measured the internal temperature of the beef stew soup; the food product measured 46.2 degrees Fahrenheit (F). The butternut squash soup, stored inside the deep, five-gallon container was measured by the FSD using the metal stem probe thermometer; the product had an internal temperature of 56.2 degrees F. During an interview on 01/07/21 at 10:05 a.m., the Chef Manager stated the process for cooling the food items stored in the large five-gallon containers is to use a cooling wand. The food product is stirred with the cooling wand until it reaches a safe temperature and then stored inside the walk-in cooler. He confirmed he oversees the cooling of cooked foods to make sure they reach a safe temperature within the appropriate timeframe. He stated he does not have a temperature tracking log. During the interview on 01/07/21 at 10:05 a.m., the Chef Manager stated cooked food items must be cooled from 135 degrees F to 70 degrees F within four hours, and then from 70 degrees F to 41 degrees F within two hours. The FSD confirmed the correct cooling process is for a cooked food item to be cooled from 135 degrees F to 70 degrees F within two hours, and then from 70 degrees F to 41 degrees F within four hours. The FSD stated the food should be separated into smaller containers and a cooling log should be used to monitor the cooling process. Both the FSD and the Chef Manager stated the soups that measured above 41 degrees F cannot be served to residents and must be discarded. During an interview on 01/08/21 03:18 p.m. the FSD provided a policy titled, Food Cooling Directive, dated January 8, 2021, and stated prior to today the facility did not have a written policy in place for the cooling of food items. A review of the Food Cooling Directive, dated 01/08/21, revealed, Pathogens grow fastest in the temperature range of 70-140, all foods must pass through this temperature range very quickly. All foods must be cooled to 70 degrees inside of 2 hours. Then these foods must reach 40 degrees or less within 6 hours Denser foods cool slower [chili, [NAME], stews, thick soups] Best ways to cool hot foods: ice water bath adding ice often as it melts, use the ice wands [keep them clean and filled] . According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Food Code, dated 2017, page 94-95, revealed, Cooked time/temperature control for safety food shall be cooled: (1) Within 2 hours from 57°C [Celsius] (135°F) to 21°C (70°F), and (2) Within a total of 6 hours from 57°C (135°F) to 5°C (41°F) or less Cooling shall be accomplished in accordance with the time and temperature criteria . by using one or more of the following methods .
