General CommentsEHS made observations during todays reinspection, that there have been drastic improvements in Cold Holding. EHS further notes that there was no cold holding violation during todays reinspection. After discussing with EHS supervisor, EHS will follow up for a compliance visit rather than initiating a Risk Control Plan. PIC was able to describe and demonstrate new SOPs for cold holding, including self draining pans for items stored on Ice. EHS will determine whether or not RCP is needed on compliance visit.
