General CommentsEHS, PIC and Head chef discussed cold holding at length during inspection. EHS and PIC discussed methods for how to maintain cold holding during the lunch rush. EHS suggested utilizing TPHC, ice baths, utilizing flip top lids, ice blankets, or performing maintenance on units to ensure that they are maintaining TCS foods at 41F or below. EHS recommended documenting temperatures of the actual items inside the unit as PIC stated they refer to the outer thermometer reading when doing line checks. EHS recommended that facility maintain cold holding logs that they have access to as PIC stated that once the logs are submitted on their mobile app they no longer have access to the records. EHS advised that if facility wants to hold the service line on TPHC during lunch services that they are required to have written procedures prepared in advance and shall follow labeling requirements for TPHC. Facility can contact EHS if they need assistance in completing TPHC forms or have any additional questions.
