Additional Comments

I will return for a follow-up inspection within 10 days from original inspection date. The focus will be on ensuring the priority violations (items 1 - 27) are corrected. Please examine the whole report to see comments about each violation.

Item 1 has been observed out of compliance during 3 consecutive routine inspections. A permit revocation warning letter will be requested as well as an invitation for a food safety intervention meeting with TDH. Additionally, a Food Safety Plan (FSP) will be emailed to operator. I am available to assist operator in developing FSP and will discuss it further upon returning for follow up inspection.

Will email operator applicable fact sheets in Spanish: cooling, food storage poster, demonstration of knowledge.

Discussed proper food storage and cooling methods with pic.
