Note: Date marking, Make sure each item is dated when it is taken out of the freezer. When the item is made/ frozen, that counts as day one. So you only have 6 days to use it after taken out of the freezer and into the cooler.

As part of the complaint investigation I completed a standard inspection. During the inspection I observed floors around and behind equipment soiled with dirt/food debris. I spoke to the PIC Travis about cleaning more frequently. Due to multiple critical violations I will be returning to do a follow-up inspection. As for cleaning frequency, that is a non-critical violation; however, I will make sure it is addressed as a critical due to the nature of the complaint.

Dropped off and discussed standard inspections report.
