Comments
Overall, the FSO is in good condition. Most of the violations observed during this inspection were corrected or could be correct quickly. Managers stated they will correct all the violations that are easily corrected. PIC was able to demonstrate excellent knowledge in food safety and was able to determine many of the issues observed without guidance. Some improvements seem to be have been made and maintained based on the previous inspection. Cooling practices and reheating seemed to be corrected and working well . Highly recommend that a cooling policy and a reheating policy/procedure be developed and posted to ensure all staff are knowledgeable on the new/correct procedure.

COVID-19 prevention guidelines seemed to be followed very well at the time inspection. All employees are required to wear masks while working inside even when the FSO is closed to the public. The measures put into practice seem to be working well and staff is doing well. Keep up the good work.
