Salad bar items were also observed above 41F. When using ice, ice must surround the pan completely and come up to product level. Observed cut melon at 48F, boiled egg at 54F and cut tomatoes at 51F. Cut tomatoes in the cook's prep cooler were observed at 48F and cheese at 44F. The unit was working well but may need to be turned down to account for the use. Salad bar items were discarded (you may want to time monitor with a written procedure in place not to exceed 4 hours) The prep cooler was closed to correct and the garlic was discarded. " |
