General CommentsEHS observed preexisting cold holding equipment (back area prep table, overhead veggie crisper) in use at time of inspection. Units were fully functional and calibrated to properly hold TCS foods. EHS observed previous meat freezer in back prep area out of service and replaced with standing freezer of comparable size. No storage order, cooling, or cold holding violations were observed at time of inspection. Standing freezer is, upon observation, sufficient for the holding of frozen TCS food items to meet the requirements of the facility and ANSI/NSF equivalent commercially graded. EHS authorizes facility to utilize the standing freezer for the cold holding of frozen TCS foods.
