General Comments

EHS observed multiple TCS food items in cold holding cooling from recent prep prior to EHS arrival (boiled eggs, tofu, milk) These items, as well as those in the salad prep top, are not date mark exempt, but are said to be placed and used within 24 hours, as specified by PIC. Should these items remain for greater than 24 hours, the expectation is that these items will be disposed of or date marked to reflect their date of preparation or opening.
