    Correction: Wet wiping cloths are to be used for wiping counters and other equipment surfaces and are to be held in a chemical sanitizer solution at the appropriate concentration between uses.
  • Food Contact Surface/Durable/Nonabsorbent (corrected on site)
    Observation: Food contact surfaces of equipment and utensils are not durable: spinach used for drink mix stored in shipping box.
