Butter in temperature and labeled, if times is used as a control then labeled with a 4 hour self life
Proper use of time as a public health control. If jurisdictions have allowed time rather than temperature alone as a means to help ensure food safety, conditions set by the regulatory body must be followed. These conditions have included limiting the display of potentially hazardous foods at ambient room temperature to less than four hours, time labeling the product while on display, and discarding the food product at the end of that period. If No, please describe corrective action taken.If the temperature of the potentially hazardous food is 41°F or below, do not deduct in this question. Deduct under question #35 (Food properly labeled and within rotation guidelines), as no Food Safety risk is present. Currently OG, RL, BB & CG cut tomatoes must be identified for time as a public health control. Whipped butter at LH, stored at room temperature in the alley, must be marked for time control.
