General Comments

During inspection PIC asked if garlic bread was considered a TCS items since facility uses house made garlic oil. EHS advised that once baked that it is no longer considered TCS as the oil would soak into the bread. PIC stated that they do not use chunks of garlic in the oil, which would render the product TCS. PIC asked EHS about holding garlic oil and parmesan cheese on TPHC. EHS advised that this was allowed and no violations surrounding these products were noted in during the inspection. PIC added garlic oil and Parmesan to TPHC form and will discard at the end of the allotted 4 hours.
