General Comments

NOTE: EHS found large container used for mixing cole slaw not able to fit in the dish machine. Manager stated that they clean it at the spray arm sink beside the dish machine. They but sanitizer from the 2 comp sink in a bucket and put it on the container. Method is not a sufficient way to clean dishes. Dishes must be taken to the 3 comp sink for washed if they do not fit in the dish machine. Immerse container in sanitizer for contact time after cleaning and rinsing. EHS did not observe process in progress today. EHS discussed proper cleaning procedures for dishes with Manager.
