23: 830 Observed 2 large containers of cooked lo mein noodles in 2-door reach-in in the back that were not date labeled.

Additional Comments

Permit posted and good through 9/30/24. VDH QR code and Vairance posted at POS. Have received new copy of Consumer Advisory from Corporate and posted at POS next to Allergen statement.
Discussed utensils in display and how often changed. Owner states many of the sweeter sauces need utensils being changed every hour and they often do. Told him to make sure they are all changed out at least once every 4 hours.
Discussed produce washing and that particularly items not cooked, like cucumbers in sushi, should be washed prior to peeling or cutting.
Last time they made sushi was 2/23/24. Had pH meter calibration information and rice = 3.9 which meets variance.
Owner states they are only using crab sticks currently for sushi, not tuna or salmon, and had none in freezer.
Discussed that pH buffer containers say opened "12/21" - owner states this is 12/21/23, not 12/2021. Difficult to tell from dating and buffer only good for 3 - 6 months after opening. Please include full date with Month/Day/Year on next bottles opened.
Please label 2-door reach-in freezer in back with "Mein Bowl" like the reach in is. As the back is your commissary, all areas that are specific to your products must be labeled to identify it as yours.
