Roast Beef Handling Procedure
Step 1. All fresh roast beef will be received and
stored at 40f or below.
Step 2. Remove only the roast beef you need for
service, trim sort by size for roasting. This step
should take no longer than 20 minutes.
Step 3. Roast the beef in a 325f oven until the
temperature reaches 110f. Remove from oven and
allow to rest 30 minutes. Do not cut!!
Step 4. Place sheet pans with the beef, on a speed
rack and place them in the walk in freezer to speed
the cooling process. Once cooled to 50f move them
to the walk in refrigerator. Do not pile them in a
plastic container; leave the beef on the sheet pan
and cover with plastic wrap.
Step S. Remove only as much roast beef as you will
use in 1hour, cut to size and warm in a 325f oven for
30 minutes. Slice to order.
Each station needs to be monitored with a timer.
Only two people, Marcellus and a designated person
should be handling the roast beef.

RE: 2 and inspection Mikes Roast Beef
February, 8, 2015
Dear Bruce;
My second inspection of Mike's Roast Beef, on January 31
was much better. They are now following the plan that we
developed to safely handle the roast beef. I have developed a
flow plan for the safe handling of the roast beef, and have
provided laminated copies that can be posted and followed.
They are also using sanitizing pails for cleaning and
sanitizing and for the storage of cleaning towels when not in
use.
The log books that I set up for them are being used and are
accurate.
As you requested, I will be re visiting them in May or June
but have asked Mike to stay in touch if he has any questions or
concerns. I told him that this is not over and he will be
monitored from time to time by your department and
compliance is critical to his being able to remain in business..
If you have any questions for me, please feel free to call me
anytime. My cell is the best way as I am frequently away from
my desk. 978-994-0912

Re: Mikes Roast Beef and Pizza (Roast beef handling process)
Dear Philip:
I went to Mike's Roast Beef and Pizza in response to his call requesting help in
setting up a process for the safe handling of the roast beef he serves. I found some
issues and spent the next 6 hours with them giving them the guidelines for the
process.
The first thing I found was improperly cooled roast beef in the walk in. Marcellus
said they cooked the beef and cleaned off the fat then cut the beef in half and placed
about 401bs. in a plastic container in the walk in to cool. The temperature of the
beef was 57f. And I told them to discard the product, which they did. I then
instructed them to cook less product and to change the cooling process.
The process is to cook the roast beef, remove it from the oven, lay it out in one
layer, place it on a speed rack and place it in the walk in freezer to speed up the
process. Since they are only initially cooking the product to 110f, this plan will work
fine. After 1 and half hours the beef can be moved to the walk in refrigerator,
remaining in a single layer covered until needed.
As the beef is needed, they will remove it from the walk in, cut in half to facilitate
slicing and place it in the oven for about 15 minutes, it then goes to the slicer. They
are a busy place so figuring out the timing is critical. I found the beef being left out
too long without controlling the time. They now have several timers at different
points to control time.
After inspecting the holding unit I found it not working well with improvised bi-
metallic stemmed thermometers placed through the door of the unit and
permanently fastened so calibration was not possible. Marcellus has arranged to
have the unit repaired, but I feel that unit lends itself to trying to hold too much
product, and cooking too much product ahead of time, and told him that if he was
able to better control his process with time, he was better off not trying to hold
product.
Marcellus further was not sure how to calibrate thermometers, so I instructed he
and his cooks on how to do that, I also provided him with new thermometers as
well. He was also questioned about the use of sanitizer, as I saw no pails. He
informed me he was using a chlorine product, and when asked if he knew how to
make he said he did not and I instructed him how to do it and told him to purchase 4
new sanitizer pails, test strips appropriate for the chlorine, and said he needs to test
it every 2 hours and make new when necessary.
I provided Marcellus with a new log book for refrigeration and calibration and
holding should he decide to reintroduce holding to the process.
I observed the roast beef handling process and if he were able to control it the
beef would not be exposed to the temperature danger zone for more than 2 hours,
and hot holding would not be necessary.
I will inspect the operation on Saturday, January 31, 2015.

Dear Mr. Marcelo Novo,
During the inspections of December 31, 2014, and January 2, 2015 the Health Department has some
concerns of the process of trimming, cooking, cooling, and the hot and cold holding temperatures of the
roast beef.
The Health Department is requiring you to contact a food consultant to come up with a Hazard Analysis
and Critical Control Point Plan (HACCP) for the process of the roast beef. Please submit a copy of the
HACCP Plan to the Health Department within 2 Weeks.
The potentially hazardous food roast beef must be kept below 40 degrees Fahrenheit and above 140
degrees Fahrenheit. The plan must address temperature critical control points for the roast beef
process.
If you should have any questions please feel free to contact me at the number above.
Sincerely,
Philip J. Renaud
