High Priority 1
03A-02-5High Priority – Time/temperature control for safety food cold held at greater than 41 degrees Fahrenheit. Commingled raw eggs (60F – Cold Holding, retemped at 51F); pancake mix (60F – Cold Holding, retemped at 53F); corn beef hash (58F – Cold Holding, retemped at 44F) Cook said that he didn't think he needed to keep these items refrigerated because he didn't at other restaurants. I called owner and verified that they do not have Time as a Public Health Control paperwork. Moved foods to cooler to cool, and I discussed Time as a Public Health Control with cook and emailed paperwork to owner. I explained that it will need to be time marked when it leaves the cooler, and discarded after 4 hours. Operator moved items to large reach in cooler in front kitchen, I monitored temps but not all were dropping significantly because the cooler was in heavy use. Operator moved pancake mix and corn beef hash to freezer and iced eggs to allow for rapid cooling. **Corrective Action Taken**
