  • [4] Facilities to maintain product temperature
    Observed walk in fridge with slightly lower temperatures (42F-44F) and food is no longer being stored right next to compresssor but unit is still not cold enough to ensure all food stays at 41F or below.

Temperture logs show food has been 42F or below since 10/23/15 but most food near door temped @ 44F during today's inspection and the thermomter being used by staff today was found to be out of calibration.

Door has large gap at floor that should be covered to prevent loss of cold air no later than Thursday 10/29/15. Temperature logs shall continue to be kept twice a day and the thermometer being used to take temperatures should be verified it is within proper calibration daily. This unit will be reinspected in one week (11/3/15) to enusre it is capable of maintaining all food at 41F or below. If not further enforcement action may be taken.
