The PIC lifted the container and we observed that the ice level was too low and was not in contact with the pico de gallo container. Advised to ensure the ice bath is touching all side of the container. COS: PIC stated the container of pico de gallo had been out for less than 2 hours. PIC added ice, so the ice was in contact with all sides of the pico de gallo container.
