Observations & Corrective Actions

22: 0820 (A2) The facility had waffle mix stored in the 2-door cooler which was dated for 19 Jun 2024 holding at ~47°F at the time of inspection.
Corrective Actions: The manager on site agreed to discard the food product as recommended due to temperature abuse. Food products held above the minimum required 41°F allow for the potential growth of harmful bacteria. Maintain all temperature controled food items below 41°F at all times as required.

51: 2350 (i) The 3-compartment sink has a disconnected water line resting on the drain pipe from the 3-compartment sink. The drain pi[pe is also being supported by pieces of 2x4 as abrace.
Corrective Actions: Repair the plumbing system to have all water lines and drain system properly plumbed, capped and supported in a sanitary manner. If a water line has been replaced by an unapproved connection then this shall be recomnnected with the original plumbing design.
