     PACKAGED AND UNPACKAGED FOOD - RAW OVER RTE-FOODS

     In the prep cooler opposite the grill, raw hamburger meat was being stored over ready-to-eat sauces and cheese. I pointed out to the PIC and kitchen manager that raw meat can't be stored over ready-to-eat foods, and they had the burgers moved to the bottom shelf during the inspection.

     Correction: Reorganize food storage so that ready-to-eat foods are stored above raw animal food and raw vegetables. Discard ready-to-eat foods that show evidence of contamination.

     Single-use gloves are not discarded between working with raw beef and touching ready-to-eat cheese and buns. I spoke to the PIC and the kitchen manager, who explained to the employee that gloves need to be discarded and hands washed when going from working with raw animal products to ready-to-eat foods during the inspection.

     Correction: Single-use gloves shall be discarded between tasks such as working with ready-to-eat foods or raw animal foods, when they become damaged or soiled or when interruptions occur in the operation. Discard potentially contaminated food items.
