Inspector’s Notes
Date marking was not done in a consistent manner according to the code. PIC to assure all open processed foods (i.e. cooked noodles, etc) and prepared TCS foods (i.e. soap, sauces etc) held > 24 hours have a DISCARD DATE. Best practice id to document both open/prep and use by dates o each item

Food was not kept cold enough, hot enough, cooled fast enough, or cooked or reheated to the right temperature. Bacteria grow quickly in the "danger zone" between 41°F and 135°F, which makes this one of the most important food-safety checks.
There is no test kit available for measuring the concentration of the sanitizer. (QAT test strips needed)
