General Comments

EHS observed facility holding the 34 items on the Cold Line on TPHC but not recording the actual start and discard times. They are using a clipboard log sheet and recording the exact same times for all of the foods on the cold line. See attached image. These items are changed out throughout the day as needed and not all at the same time. EHS suggested that the facility consider going to 4 hr TPHC, fill pans half way, and discard every 4 hrs. PIC will discuss this with her manager. Any questions call Augusta at 704-292-8684
