Comments
The kitchen is significantly undersized for the amount of food preparation that takes place. The limited space creates problems for the kitchen staff when trying to comply with proper food safety procedures (shelf space, air drying, storage, hand washing, cooling, potential contamination, cleaning, etc.).
The PIC stated that a facility renovation may take place in the near future. Please contact the Kent City Health Department prior to construction for approval. A Facility Review may be required.
Improve cooling methods (no lids, shallow pans, ice bath, chill stick, etc.) to reach 70 degrees F within two hours and 41 degrees F within 4 hours.
Proper COVID protocols were discussed with the PIC (masks, hand washing, social distancing, cleaning, employee screening, etc.).
