Observation: Walk-in cooler at an ambient temperature of 12C, and did not decrease throughout the course of the inspection. Door was kept closed.
Corrective Action(s): Service the walk-in cooler so that it can maintain a temperature of 4C or cooler at all times, even during periods of hot weather. This is required to keep cold foods cold, so that bacteria that could cause foodborne illness will not grow.

NOTE: No potentially hazardous foods are allowed inside the cooler until a follow-up inspection has been conducted to verify that it can maintain 4C or less.
