Additional Comments

A complaint was recieved for mold present in a container of cheese in the breakfast self service area. The complainant also stated that the container is only topped off and not cleaned daily. All food observed at the time of inspection was in good condition, stored, date marked properly, and following proper time procedures with TCS product per policy at the time of inspection. I discussed the complaint details with the PIC, the hotel manager. The PIC stated once the issue was brought to their attention, the container was removed and the product was discarded. They reviewed their stored product to assure it was in good condition. I discussed the establishment's time as a public health control policy with the PIC. I mentioned ensuring all staff are aware of the proper discard produces with TCS food per policy along with washing, rinsing, and sanitizing containers/utensils used during the service. I will attempt to inform the complainant of this inspection.
