General Comments

Per PIC TPHC for safety may be used for sliced cheese. However today PIC stated all items should be 40F and an employee used the wrong label for sliced cheese stored in the flip top cold hold unit. EHS observed written procedures to be incomplete, lacking initial temp of TCS food. Also facility is using wrong label (4 hr ice bath) for refrigeration when in sand which station per Popeyes academy in the flip top an 8 hr quality label should be used. EHS emailed MCPHD example for written TPHC procedures. PIC filled out document prior to ending inspection.
