2 eateries written up by inspectors

 

Of the 28 eateries inspected by Pinal County from Sept. 16 through Oct. 15, all but two received excellent scores. The two outliers had similar issues with cold-holding that was fixed on the spot.

Cold-holding appliances like refrigerators must keep food at 41 degrees or less. At True Grit, a walk-in refrigerator was found to be holding food at 49F, including lunchmeat, shredded chicken and raw chicken. The problem was corrected by discarding the items and placing recently prepped items in other coolers.

Rili-B’s Taco Shop had cooked beef sitting at 53F in a container despite being in a walk-in cooler overnight. The inspector gave the manager a handout on cooling methods, and the beef was discarded.
