Note: when washing equipment and utensils the rinse compartment of the three compartment sink must be filled with water at least 120 degrees F. Note: Once the plastic containers begin to stain and become damaged they must be replaced. I would recommend replacing them for metal containers as they do not stain and cool foods faster. All hot and cold holding temperatures were in compliance All frozen foods were frozen solid There were not any reheating for hot holding or cooling observed during today's inspection A required additional routine inspection will be conducted within the next 60 days.
