After much discussion, Burt Perlmutter, M.D., proposed a motion that stated, “The Lexington Board of Health has reviewed the HACCP plan that was prepared by Safe Food Management for Neillio’s. Neillio’s may use time as a public health control for the display and slicing of various cooked whole meats such as turkey, pork loin, ham, pastrami and related meats or poultry under the condition that the HACCP plan is followed. Should the inspection process reveal that the HACCP plan is not followed or understood by the food service staff, then the variance will be suspended and hot holding temperature control must be provided for ready to eat foods, A hearing will be required with the Board of Health to determine the status of the variance request for using time as Public Health Control.” David Geller, M.D., Seconded the motion. All were in favor.
