Monitor temperatures of food in 2-door unit. Exterior thermometer reading during inspection was in the 50's and did not go down much even when doors were kept closed. Food items from room temperature cans and food just prepared are being placed in this unit while still above 41 F. Suggest pre-chilling cans of food before opening them to eliminate need for cooling these foods down from room temperature. Cool all food down to 41 F or below before placing the food in the 2-door unit.
No violation noted during this evaluation. | 04/22/2015 | Routine | |
