Inspection Comments   INFORMED THE PERSON-IN-CHARGE OF THE REPORT THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT RECEIVED REGARDING A POSSIBLE FOOD BORNE ILLNESS CASE AND CONDUCTED AN INSPECTION OF THE FACILITY WITH AN EMPHASIS ON THE CHILI FOOD ITEM.

THE CHILI IS MADE BY MIXING A CHILI BASE (FACTORY MADE), BEANS (PRE-PACKAGED), AND GROUND BEEF (FRESHLY COOKED GROUND BEEF PATTIES). THE GROUND BEEF PATTIES ARE COOKED ON THE GRILL AT 175F AND HELD AT 155F. IF THESE HOT HELD PATTIES ARE NOT SERVED WITHIN 4 HOURS THEY ADDED TO THE CHILI.

THE CHILI IS COOKED TO TEMPERATURES THAT EXCEED 170F--IT IS POLICY TO COOK THE CHILI TO >165F. ONSITE TEMPERATURE LOGS ILLUSTRATE PROPER COOKING TEMPERATURES WERE FOLLOWED. HOWEVER, NO COOLING LOGS WERE FOUND ONSITE (UNSERVED CHILI IS COOLED AND REHEATED FOR THE NEXT DAY'S SUPPLY). REHEATED CHILI IS COOKED TO >165F AND ONLY REHEATED ONE TIME BEFORE ITS DISCARDED.

THERE WERE NO VIOLATIONS RELATING TO EMPLOYEE HYGIENE--WORKERS WASHED THEIR HANDS AT THE APPROPRIATE TIMES, WORE GLOVES, AND HANDLED FOOD USING METHODS THAT WERE FOOD SAFE. FURTHERMORE, NO EMPLOYEES WERE FOUND TO BE SICK AND EMPLOYEE ILLNESS RECORDS TO NOT INDICATE THAT SICK EMPLOYEES MAY HAVE WORKED ONSITE WHEN THE SUSPECTED CHILI WAS SERVED. ALSO, ALL EMPLOYEES HAVE COMPLETED THE APPROPRIATE FOOD TRAINING COURSE.

LASTLY, NO VIOLATIONS WERE FOUND RELATING TO THE FACILITY MAINTENANCE AND EQUIPMENT--ALL EQUIPMENT ONSITE WAS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY.

OVERALL, THE PIC AND KITCHEN STAFF DEMONSTRATED PROPER FOOD SAFETY PRACTICES, AND THE INVESTIGATION COULD NOT DEFINITIVELY DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE SYMPTOMS EXPERIENCED BY THE COMPLAINANT.

ONSITE RECORDS RELATING TO ILLNESS LOGS, TEMPERATURE LOGS, AND THE SUPPLIER LIST MAY BE REQUESTED AT A LATER DATE.
HACCP Topic: PROPER REHEATING TEMPERATURE: REHEAT TO 165F OR ABOVE AND ONLY REHEAT ONE TIME
