3-501.16(A)(2) Maintain TCS foods in cold holding at 41F or less. -P. Observed Sliced cheese, ranch, diced tomatoes, and other TCS foods (see temp chart) above 41F as well as lettuce and spinach in prep top. WIC door could not completely close when exiting WIC if not pushed to properly seal. Ambient temperatures returned to below 41F after 30 mins. All TCS foods were vented to allow proper air flow and transfer of heat to cool down back to 41F or below. PIC stated that a delivery was made this morning as well as morning prep, which could have also lead to the WIC door being open more especially if door was unintentionally cracked open. CDI-PIC vented all TCS foods and scheduled maintenance for door locking mechanism to be repaired.
