2. Management should have a metal stemmed food thermometer to verify internal food temperatures. The food thermometer should be calibrated in ice water to 32f at least once a week to ensure accuracy when taking food temperatures.
3. Management should be implementing Active Managerial Control. See handout provided during the routine inspection on 12/8/2015.
4. Management should continue to discuss with staff that the mop sink is for disposing of soiled mop water. The mop water shall be not be dumped outside the facility. In addition the mop sink shall never be used for the storage of equipment used for food preparation.
