     Code MN Rule 4626.0040C

   • Not serious Priority 2 Corrected on site

     Use effective cooling methods to cool TCS foods.

     Pre-packaged meals were observed being cooled in the Walk In Cooler stacked on top of each other on one of the shelves. This method does not allow for rapid cooling due to containers being so close to each other and not allowing enough air space for cold air to get in between the containers. Discussed with Person In Charge that better methods would be to keep containers in a single layer, and use a speed rack to separate out the containers for faster cooling. Person In Charge instructed a staff member to rearrange containers into flat layers on a speed rack. Change current method and employ practices for faster and safe cooling.
