Routine Inspection
08. Proper hot and cold holding temperatures.
Conditions Observed: Pre-packaged polenta in the right-hand produce display case was measured at 43.6°F today. In addition, the temperature display on this unit was not functioning. The automatic monitoring display in the office was checked and the unit was not found to be in a defrost cycle, and the monitoring unit indicated that the unit was holding in the required temperature range. Staff rearranged the polenta to improve air flow around the items, and have contacted the maintenance provider regarding the non-functioning temperature display. Please repair temperature display and adjust as needed to ensure that all potentially-hazardous foods are held at or below 41°F at all times; thank you.
