The purpose of this visit was to conduct a routine inspection. Thank you. I have provided you with my contact information if you have any questions.
Observations:
Observed proper procedure for receipt of cold food from approved supplier. Employee health policy in place. Sanitizer observed at an acceptable level in sanitize basin and wiping cloth bucket.
NOTE:
Remember to preheat you steam water to temperature that will hold the pizza sauce at 135F or above. Typically, if you preheat the steam water to 165F that will hold most hot items at 135F. Sometime lower steam water temperatures of around 145f-160f will maintain a hot temperature of 135F or above, depending upon the thickness, air-space or viscosity of items holding. But you must monitor the temperature of the hot holding foods to verify.
