Additional Comments

I observe manager cutting up a lemon with her bare hands and proceeded to put it in the cold holding table and one slice on customer plate. I told her she had to ware gloves when touching ready to eat food and told her to remove the lemon from both customer plate and cooler.


When i asked P.I.C. what was her process to washing dirty dishes using the 3 compartment sink she demonstrated how she wash her big pot that can’t fit in the commercial dishwasher. She washed the pot and rinsed it off. She did not mention that she sanitize it with bleach water. So i educated her on the proper way to wash her dirty dishes using the 3 compartment sink.
