General CommentsFacility has a “cold bar” at the breakfast line that is meant to hold temperatures of TCS items but unit does not properly maintain temperatures. Unit is a flat surface on the counter with no method of submerging TCS products into unit. PIC stated that the unit is supposed to hold temperatures with items on top of it as long as the items are in the appropriate containers. EHS explained that the design of these units is not functional for maintaining temperatures at 41F or below. Facility to switch to TPHC for these items.
