General Comments- EHS observed one item out of temperature which was a cooked piece of chicken at 57F in the cookline lowboy. PIC stated that it was left over from the large catering order they had this morning and it was only saved for the employees to have during their lunch and was never going to be used for consumers. Item was voluntarily discarded at the time of the inspection and PIC informed that if leftover items are going to be saved for employees to have during lunch they must be properly labeled for employees and properly stored on a lower shelf on a cooler so they cannot contaminate consumer foods.
