There is a new CFM at this facility. The risk factors for foodborne illness including the employee health policy requirements were discussed with her. The proper cooling of potentially hazardous food and sanitation of food contact surfaces (food thermometer was demonstrated and explained to the CFM). Information and handouts regarding employee health and glove usage was also provided. It was recommended that food safety training be provided to all food workers. Please have the dishwasher machine contact the health department after the machine be repair.
