During this inspection, I spoke with the PIC regarding the complaint of mold on a pizza which was made and sold the previous day. I showed the PIC the sample of the pizza which I had obtained from the complainant the previous evening which appeared to have growing mold on it. We inspected the dough that was currently in the cold hold cabinet where dough is held in ready to prepare pans and no mold was observed. We discussed the proofing process which is used in the establishment as well as the correct procedure for washing/rinsing/sanitizing the dough making machine. We also discussed the need to properly protect the dough hook bowl on the equipment when it is not being utilized, especially given its proximity to the hand washing sink and the cheese grating machine.

    Observation: Clean dough mixing bowl was observed stored uncovered and exposed to splashing, dust, or other contamination.
