After discussion with PIC, Health authority discovered that the blanched fries are left out at room temperature for 2 hours before transferred into the walk in cooler during the cooling process. This cooling method may result in the fries not cooling down from 135°F to 70°F within 2 hours. The blanched fries must be moved to the walk in cooler when they are 135°F to ensure they cool down fast enough. Health Authority will email PIC a helpful handout on proper cooling methods.
