This food establishment was defrosting frozen chicken directly on the floor. There are several violations present in this picture.
- It is never okay to store any items directly on the floor in a food establishment.
- There are only a few approved methods to properly thaw a frozen item, and letting a food defrost at room temperate on the floor is not one of them.
- By the time TexasPHS checked the temperature of the chicken, it was already at 54F!
