General CommentsEHS spoke to PIC about Tall 3 door RIC. Cooler was in Defrost mode during inspection. Ambient temp was 41.. RIC was in Defrost mode for about 1.5 hours. PIC called repair tech to come out and adjust defrost setting. Repair tech will be at facility in the AM. PIC will contact EHS when repaired. EHS educated PIC on the proper way to cool from ambient and from heat. EHS went over hand out and discussed with ALL employees the proper way to cool. Facility will start cooling noodles once 135F is reached. Once reached , Noodles will be placed in WIF and checked after 2 hour to see if 70F or below is reached. Noodles will remain in WIF until noodles are at 41F or below then lid will be placed on container for long term storage. Sushi items or defrosted over night in some prep unit. Chef then will check temps before moving to sushi case. If temps are above 41F items will be discarded. Sushi chef will also keep temps for sushi case. Chef will check temps every 2 hours. If temps go above 41 chef will move items to WIF until WIC has been adjusted. Chef will do this for about a week. If temps continue to go up, Chef will call out tech to check case. Case will not be used, small prep unit will be used instead. EHS feels sure that since proper cooling has been discussed this should resolve itself. Facility will also check RIC temps with thermometer instead of just going by outside display. EHS will come back in 3 days to check on RIC.
