Final Score @ Grade

General CommentsEHS observed salads being plated in gardemanger kitchen. Salad mix started at 41F. Products are then plated and served within an hour. Due to insufficient time to cool the product (50F after plating) before service, facility will begin using TPHC for cold items plated same day. Typically facility plates the day prior but for large events (today 576 people) there is no long term storage space large enough to allow for prep of other items. EHS provided TPHC form today via email.
