North Point 66

Thank you for the review, Amanda. I apologize for the incident. Here is the incorrect information about the process. We understand the following requirements and we will review our procedures. Thank you again for your comment. Handling Protocol & Food Safety Guidelines: Temperature Control: Immediately refrigerate brewed tea at 40°F (4°C) or below. Rapid Cooling: If the tea is hot, it must be cooled rapidly before sealing, or cooled quickly while sealed to prevent condensation inside the bag. Follow a two-stage cooling process: cool from 135°F to 70°F within 2 hours, and to 41°F within 4 hours. Shelf Life: Refrigerated brewed tea should be consumed or discarded within 3 days. Storage Conditions: Keep the sealed bags in a clean refrigerator, away from strong-smelling items, to avoid flavor contamination. Labeling: Label every bag with the date of preparation to ensure it is used within the 3-day window. Spoilage Indicators: Inspect bags before serving; if the tea is cloudy, has a sour odor, or shows signs of mildew, it must be discarded immediately. No Reheating: Do not reheat brewed tea once it has been refrigerated. Avoid Sub-Ambient Storage: Do not store brewed tea at room temperature for more than 8 hours. Retail/Commercial Considerations: If this is for commercial dispensing, ensure the bags are food-grade and that the sealing process does not leave air pockets. The container/bag should not be vacuum-sealed if it is not immediately refrigerated, as lack of oxygen with a pH >4.6 can contribute to bacterial growth.
