Inspector's notes

Observed Pepperjack cheese (55'F) wrapped in foil and placed atop lid of covered pan in tabletop prep cooler located opposite stovetop. PIC stated item was stocked when restaurant opened less than 2 hours prior. All TCS foods improperly cold held were relocated to alternative functioning refrigeration unit to rapidly cool to 41°F at time of inspection. Except during preparation, cooking, cooling or when time is used as a control all TCS foods must be maintained at 41°F or below. Eggs not treated to destroy Salmonellae can be stored in equipment that maintains an ambient air temperature of 45°F or below. Discussed with PIC to avoid storing items in prep cooler in this manner as it prevents items from getting direct air flow to maintain proper coldholding temperatures of 41'F or below. Corrective Action: Corrected at time of inspection.
