General CommentsEHS discussed parameters for date marking outlined by the Food Code with PIC. EHS provided resource for products exempt from date marking, and explained that items opened or prepared and used within 24 hours do not require a date mark. Additionally, EHS notes no repeat violations, and high efficacy for the storage order signage hung in coolers. EHS encourages facility to keep utilizing this method for maintaining safe storage order in its multitude of walk-ins.
