Internal temperatures of cooked beef being held in the steam well were 114-119 degrees. Manager was instructed to reheat beef to at least 165 degrees and maintain foods for hot holding at or above 135 degrees. Beef was reheated on the grill to 185-188 degrees.
Observed a build-up of debris on the non-food contact surfaces of the ice machine and blender. Blender was taken out of service for cleaning and manager asked to clean often to avoid build-up.
The Box Meat Shop
Observed sealed bags of beef jerky held in the retail store. Internal temperature of the semi-moist beef was 78 degrees. Per the manager, the facility is cooking beef strips, cooling them to room temperature and then using a reduced oxygen packaging process (ROP) to package them. ROP requires a pre-approved variance, which the operator did not have. The package beef was embargoed. Manager stated they would no longer make/sell beef jerky.

Students in the Maricopa Unified School District will be able to return the classroom on Monday.
But the situation is “volatile,” cautioned Superintendent Dr. Tracey Lopeman, with the number of student and staff coronavirus cases at several district schools making it possible quarantine will force a short-term return to distance learning.
The Governing Board voted, 3-0, on Wednesday night to accept Lopeman’s recommendation to allow students opting for in-school learning to go back to class. Board member Torri Anderson did not attend the meeting.
Distance learning, for students and families who have opted for that mode of instruction, will continue through the end of the school year.

In December, MUSD received $3.54 million from Arizona’s School Facilities Board to buy the Cortona property at the southwest corner of Murphy and Farrell roads near the far east edge of the district.
The SFB is also supplying more than $22 million approved by the state Legislature to help build the school.
MUSD closed escrow on the property Dec. 1, and hydrant flow tests began days later to determine design flow and pressure on the site.
Cortona is the latest in a series of land purchases and donations still in district possession that date back to the 1950s.
