Note: any food placed on time control must be discarded if it is not used within the 4 hours from when the food was removed from either the refrigerator, oven, and strove. The food can not be placed back in the cooler. Note: the second peach cobbler should be cupped after cooking instead of being left at room temperature on time control. The peach cobbler has the chance to sit on the counter with the potential of not being used within 4 hours and would have to be discarded. Cupping the cobbler and placing in the walk-in cooler gives the product time to cool and able to be used for up to 7days. The banana pudding should also be placed in the walk-in cooler to cool. Note: if the food stays hot (135 degrees or more) in the hot holding unit or cold (41 degrees or below) in the cold holding unit then time control is not required. Time control is a tool to use if temperature control can not be maintained. All hot and cold holding temperatures were in compliance except those listed All frozen foods were frozen solid Questions? 770-784-2121 or www.gnrhealth.com
