General CommentsThe food thermometer used by the manager was only capable of displaying temperatures in Celsius. Manager stated she has been using her cell phone to convert the readings to Fahrenheit while conducting temperature checks. EHS recommends replacing the current thermometer with a unit that is capable of directly displaying temperatures in Fahrenheit, as Fahrenheit is the standard unit of measurement utilized for temperature compliance and monitoring.
