The salsa and pico were stored in the make units and the lettuce stored in an ice bath next to the quesadilla press. EHS observed a large amount of ice build up in the second prep top which is the unit that will have a work order placed to be evaluated.

EHS observed items taken from line to cool below 41F before end of inspection. EHS could not determine if units were in disrepair and will conduct a return visit to observe compliance. PIC will update EHS tomorrow with arrival of repair tech and if repairs can be made before the weekend. PIC stated they will try to lower the amount stored in each pan for cold holding and place lids over items during down time. PIC stated they will increase frequency of temperature checks to ensure items are below 41F. 3-day VR required to observe compliance with cold holding.
