Additional Comments

A warning letter will requested due to violation #20 being noted on two consecutive routine inspections. Provided applicable fact sheets to operator regarding Priority Item Violations via email. Discussed implementing a Food Safety Plan (FSP) in order to obtain active managerial control over repeated priority violations. Advised operator I was available to assist with developing a FSP.

Observed soaked rice noodles sitting in counter and in ric around 60°f - pic stated that they soak the noodles at room temp, drain, and leave aside to flash boil per order - will see if tcs and follow up with pic.

Pic showed a new wic that was just purchased. No hooked up yet. It is sitting right outside the bck door - pic stated it will be the new cooler for produce, no meats, and they are waiting on a part and in the meantime making sure its fully sealed. Pic stated foods will be stored in crates/boxes and carried in.

Discussed that pic is to send specs on the new walkin cooler, and to contact us to look at it prior to using for food storage.
