General CommentsEHS observed requisite hot water for manual warewashing (110F) not being reached at three compartment sink. Per conversation with PIC, hot water at fixtures within kitchen had been limited due to a non functioning part within kitchen. In use detergent did not specify a minimum temperature for effective washing of food contact surfaces (stated use of ‘hot water’.) PIC was utilizing available clean food contact surfaces stored within kitchen from prior services, and food was served using single use articles (to go boxes.) Hot water availability was maintained via boiled water and dispenser positioned at three compartment sink. PIC stated that repair for water fixtures was scheduled for the following morning. PIC shall inform EHS of repairs to water system once complete and shall verify functionality of all permitted hot water fixtures within kitchen, including 3 compartment sink and dish machine.
