General CommentsEHS educated PIC on proper cooling methods for sliced cheeses and deli meats. EHS spoke with PIC about cleaning frequency of deli meat and cheese slicers. PIC stated they were cleaned every 4 hours. When EHS asked how they were cleaned, PIC stated that they were sanitized every 4 hours. EHS asked when they were last cleaned, PIC stated about 20 minutes ago, they were sanitized but had been in use for less than 4 hours. It is okay to sanitize between uses, however, must ensure that slicers are fully W/R/S every 4 hours.
