Previous records complete. Process is to mark the last bag filled with an X and record the temperature of that bag on the log. Inspector temped soup bag with the X at 54F approximately 15 minutes after the log was filled out. The log was recorded at 48F. Alfredo sauce - there was no bag marked with an X; per cook because there were only 3 bags made. Inspector temped alfredo sauce at 44F; while the temperature on the log was 39F.
