Observed an accumulation of dried food debris on the blade of the can opener attached to the prep table near the walk-in cooler. PIC placed the can opener into the 3-compartment sink to be washed and sanitized. The can opener is used to open cans of TCS foods, such as tomato soup, which was opened prior to the inspection. Equipment food contact surfaces and utensils shall be clean to sight and touch. Discussed the hazards of TCS foods left on equipment that is stored at room temperature.
