COMMENT ON MINIMIZING BARE HAND CONTACT WITH FOODS: Whenever possible, avoid handling foods with bare hands (especially ready-to-eat foods that will not be cooked before served to customer) by using clean gloves, utensils, tongs, deli paper, scoops with handles, spoons, or other approved food dispensing utensil...Also minimize contact with raw meats, raw fish/seafood and raw chicken by using gloves and/or dispensing utensils. As always, after contaminating gloves in any way, gloves must be discarded and hands must be washed before putting on new gloves or before handling any other food, equipment or utensils...COMMENTS REGARDING HOT HOLDING OF SAUTEED PEPPERS AND SQUASH: If peppers and squash cannot be properly hot held at 135F or above, consider applying for a time in lieu of temperature process with our department. Application left with manager at time of inspection (keep in mind that this process cannot be used UNTIL it is approved by our department)...Remember that hands must be washed after touching face, mouth, etc. before handling food, utensils and other kitchen equipment.
