PIC Anthony available for follow up inspection. No new violations observed. There were no dented cans and PIC was able to explain which cans must be discarded. All food items needing datemarking were correctly datemarked for 7 days. Utensils were not being stored in hot water, however head chef stated that water is 135�°F if used to store utensils. All foods on buffet were between 125�°F and 135�°F. All foods used in buffet are discarded at the end of the day. Due to the fact that facility only has buffet for 4 hours daily, rapid bacterial growth is not possible so foods were not discarded. If time in lieu of temperature will be used, a written plan and food item time logs must be available. The details of the plan and logs were discussed at the previous inspection. Please have this ready for next inspection. Thank you for your hard work !
