Recieved a temp of 60 degrees with my thermometer. Cooler thermometer was flashing with an error code on the outside. Pic embargoed foods.

I will be back within 10 days for a follow-up inspection to verify all priority item violations havs been corrected.
I will provide op applicable food safety fact sheets in Spanish. I will also provide an log sheet for operator to use if he chooses to take daily food temps. Also informed pic we have a food safety class every month that he and his employees are more than welcome to attend.
New ownsership had occured. Permitted operator. Will send copy of new permit.
