General Comments

Per discussion with PIC, items are placed on TPHC when a final cook temp is taken of an item and is placed in hot box until it is needed for the serving line. PIC stated there are times if the item is still in hot box and not used that day it may be rapidly cooled in WIC and used another day. EHS did not observe this practice during inspection but reminded PIC of the rules for TPHC and that once an item is placed on TPHC is must be discarded at the discard time, either 4 or 6 hours. PIC stated he understood and would change the start time for items to when the item is removed from hot holding to allow for the possibility of cooling the items and not discarding them if they are held at proper temp.
