CDI: PIC voluntarily discarded food item. Observed the deli make table holding food above 41 degrees F. PIC had brought this to EHS's attention at the start of the inspection and had contacted the repairman to come look at the make table. As a temporary fix, the PIC had placed ice bags underneath the food in the make table, but EHS advised to keep all food in the WIC until the unit was repaired. Food was placed into the make table an hour before the start of the inspection. Repairman stated he would arrive at the facility after 4:00 PM today. PIC moved all items into the WIC so that TCS food items would not surpass the time and temperature window. VERIFICATION REQUIRED within 3 days to ensure facility is in compliance.
