Additional Comments

Notes: New test strips for the chlorine sanitizer are needed. Keep these within their container so the risk of compromise is mitigated.
- The low boy cooler directly in front of the pizza oven is not consistently holding proper cold-holding temperatures. Monitor this. PIC put items on ice and called for maintenance during the inspection.
- Cold holding temperatures are difficult to maintain at the entrance of the walk-in cooler because of repeated access to beer cooler. EHS recommends that walk-in cooler be rearranged so that TCS/PHF (potentially hazardous foods) are stored farther from the entrance. Temperatures are much more stable away from the door of the walk-in and beer cooler.

- Very good system of keeping shellfish tags. Keep this going!
