General Comments

EHS had discussion with PIC to determine if TPHC or hot holding is the intended process for TCS foods in steamwells. EHS and PIC determine that with the goal being to dispose food after 4 hours in the steamwell and record rotation times on washable magnets, TPHC is the intended process. For complaint TPHC, there must be 1. Written procedures kept onsite 2. Start times recorded 3. Disposal overseen by PIC
