General Discussion:
The air temperature in the walk in cooler fluctuates due to frequent opening and closing. At the time of this inspection the temperature on the walk in cooler temperature gauge was observed to be lower than the actual air temperature in the cooler. The operator requested to monitor the temperature of the walk in cooler with a probe thermometer in a cup of water and adjust the thermostat to a lower setting, if required.
Discussed with operator the procedures to clean and sanitize the cutting boards and other food contact surfaces. The operator is advised that the vinegar is not an approved sanitizer for the food contact surfaces. The operator is recommended to store the wiping clothes in an approved sanitizer solution in addition to using sanitizer from the spray bottles.
