      Deli: Observed Rotisserie Chickens and Meatloaf in packaging, stacked on a speed rack in the walk-in cooler, in the cooling process. Chicken and meatloaf measured 74-95 F, approximately 5 hours into the cooling process. The following foods were voluntarily discarded: 16 rotisserie chickens, 6 packages of meatloaf. Cool using approved methods, in long shallow containers, uncovered, in the walk-in. Cool from 135 F to 70 F in 2 hours and from 70 F to 41 F in 4 hours. If food does not reach the required temperature in the time required, rapidly reheat to 165, then start over with the cooling process (and try a different cooling method). Use probe thermometer to take food temperatures while cooling. Use cooling logs provided to track time and temperature of food while cooling.

About this record

Search the county's inspection lookup for the name or license number L11155.

Most people don't know what a normal result looks like for a place that's open every day. The ranges use each place's last routine inspection in this area. No other county is mixed in.

Marin County gives each inspection a result, not a score, so there is no typical range to show.

Marin County posts a green, yellow or red placard after an inspection, and gives no score. In the county's own inspection data, inspectors write "Green (Pass) placard posted" and "a yellow placard is posted due to the multiple major violations observed". We could not read a county page that lists what each color needs, so ask the department.
