11. During inspection, observed employee cleaning white plastic trays.

11. Sanitizer in spray bottles and at 3 compartment sink was not strong enough according to test strips, proper concentration for quaternary ammonia sanitizer is 200-400ppm. The sanitizer dispenser at the 3 compartment sink was not properly dispensing sanitizer chemical, the hose was not properly attached to the bulk container and was mixing too much air with the chemical and water, during inspection meat market manager was able to properly attach the bulk container to the dispenser and sanitizer concentration was adequate. Make sure that sanitizer is properly dispensing at all times. Spary bottles were changed out. At 3 compartment sink, sink basins were labeled improperly, sink basins should be labeled with wash, rinse, and sanitized, in that order, the sanitize label was in the middle sink during inspection. This was discussed with manager during inspection. If clean to dirty flow goes from left to right, a splash guard will have to be added to the clean end of the sink or the paper towel dispenser will have to be moved. 1.5
17. In one area of the customer self-serve meat cases, pork was not meeting required temperatures. Manager thought that the case was going through the defrost cycle. Cases were checked again at the end of inspection and foods were back down to temperature, defrost cycle only lasted about 15 minutes. May need to have cases serviced so that they are not going into defrost in the day time when cases are fully stocked. 0.0
19. There was a bottle of mineral oil, used on the meat saws, stored at the 3 compartment sink, it was not labeled. All bottles must be labeled with their contents. 0.0

24. There is beef tounge thawing in the sink. The market is 45 degrees and that is good. The cold water at the sink is 80-84. To thaw meat the water should be 70 degrees or colder. 0.5

All items should be be at least 6 inches off of floor to permit for easy cleaning; replace sanitizer bottle that has broken handle and label accordingly; Recommend keeping hourly logs in the meat department where each display case's thermometer temperature is checked and recorded. Also recommend getting 1 thermometer for each display case in addition to the one on the case itself.
