1. Late last week, work was done on the oven in the kitchen. During the repairs, the breaker that the refrigerator was plugged in to was turned off.

Once maintenance is performed to re-set the cooler, contact the health department to report the temperature. A temperature log was left with the Person in Charge so they may monitor the refrigeration temperatures daily.
