Additional Comments


Upon arrival, the prep unit is holding at 56F, with food inside at 46-47F (was taken from walk in unit upon opening this morning). Person in charge placed food on ice for rapid cooling as a suitable alternative to maintain temperature at 41F or below.
Rice is holding at 112 in steam table with steam table water at 176F. Cook reheated rice to 165F for proper hot holding at 135F.
Parasite destruction letter was emailed to me.
Consumer advisory was handwritten on menus during inspection.
Food is properly date marked and handwash sink is available for use today.
Use thermometers both inside refrigeration units and a probe thermometer to check internal food temperatures routinely to ensure hot and cold holding. Use also to verify reheating temperatures. Failure to comply can result in permit revocation/suspension.
