Comments

-Good effort noted however there were still outstanding issues (foods and take out containers/ clean utensils are now in closed bins) , shelving units are changed in walk in cooler...) : - Paper towel dispenser - on order- in the meantime provide a roll near hand washing sink in front ** Rusted shelving units in freezer need sanding /painting or replace them to aid cleaning and provide sanitary surface for food storage ** Rusted shelving in food perp/kitchen- change or repair ** De-cluter the facility to aid cleaning and monitoring for pests ** Ensure to increase frequency and intensity of cleaning ( use bleach solution for floors). Sanitize all surface before any food prep. Had a phone call conversation with operation manager and discuss the above- 3 months is agreed- please send me a progressive report ( stage every month ) also submit a copy of pest control assessment as received.
