Place product in a stainless steel bin in the make table (not on top of other ingredients as observed at the time of inspection. Temperature observed 54F) to ensure adequate temperature control.- All other observed temperatures were within regulation (e.g. soup in hot holding unit = 182F; display cooler 28F).- Sanitizer water tested 50ppm residual chlorine. Keep wipe down rags in the water when not in use.- Product in the hot hold display unit must not be held longer than 4 hours unless holding temperature of the product is 140F or higher.
