This visit was made to conduct a routine food safety evaluation. Good overall cleanliness and improvement of employee health policy. I suggest keeping milk offered for service in a more insulated container that will keep it below 41 degrees, or keeping on ice up to the top level of the milk in the container. An ice pack on the bottom will not keep the whole container cold enough.
