General CommentsThere are several risk factors that are not being controlled as it was the same for the last inspection. Educate employees on handwashing (when to wash) and educate them on checking temperatures to ensure foods are maintaining the proper temperatures for cold and hot hold. Make sure employees know that food cannot be left not under temperature control, they need to be maintained under cold hold temperatures or hot hold temperatures.
