General CommentsEHS observed some items in merchandising and berry island coolers had been prepared same day and were found to be above 41F. Possible cooling issues as cooling method violations observed today. However, there were other items prepared 1-2 days prior above temperature as well. EHS educated PIC on cooling methods such as using freezer, removing lids and unstacking items during cooling but also suggested moving cooling items away from WIC doors.
