**In cheese display case, customer self-serve olives and other items are in domed containers with lids that are not self-closing or protected by a sneeze guard. If lid on container is left open, food is no longer protected from contamination. Need to provide cover with self-closing lid or sneeze guards, foods could also be moved to employee served deli cases** Another issue in this area is that at the start of the inspection, olives with garlic in oil and vegetable salad (with vegetables that appear to be heat treated) were at 47-48F, by end of inspection, foods were down to 45F but there is a history of cold holding issues with this display case-refer to remarks section of inspection report on 3/30/10 for notation of past issue. All cold potentially hazardous foods must be maintained at 45F or less, heat treated vegetables and garlic in oil, as well as any meat and/or cheese stuffed olives or peppers are considered potentially hazardous. If foods are not potentially hazardous, documentation must be provided by responsible party to EHS for verification. If documentation of foods being non-potentially hazardous is not or cannot be provided and temperature violation issues persist, points will be deducted.
Metal grate used between fryers to allow chicken to drain has food debris and grease built up that looked like more than days use. This grate should be cleaned at least daily, if not multiple times per day. Grate was cleaned during inspection.

In cheese display case, packaged cheeses that are regulated by the Department of Agriculture were not being maintained at 45F or below. Cooler did not appear to be properly maintaining temperatures. Suggested to store manager to pull majority of stock in this cooler and re-cool it and rotate out with fresh stock. Also suggested to have cooler serviced or repaired. Temperatures should be monitored in this case, if temperatures are not consistently maintained at 45F or below, unit should not be used until it is properly functioning.
4 whole cooked chickens in floor hot hold unit were holding at 120F. All hot foods must be maitained at 135F or greater. Be sure to keep chickens close to heating area so that their temperature can be maintained. Chickens had only been out of temperature for a few minutes and were pulled and cooled to be sold as cold product.

One pan of cheeses on sandwich make line was holding at 43-50F. Cheese was overstacked in pan. Cheese is a potentially hazardous food and must be maintained at 45F or less. Cheese was removed from make line and put in walk-in cooler to cool quickly. CDI
