(a) (b) and (c)(1) (4)-(16) demonstration (pf)
Inspector notes: They are making the pickled carrots that go on most items; the process described to me is that the carrots are left out at room temperature overnight in the vinegar mixture then moved to the refrigerator and stored for a week. If the carrots are stored entirely in the refrigerator and discarded after a week tha is fine but if they are stored outside of refrigeration for a period of time this is a specialized process and requires a variance. Provide details of the procedure so we can determine if this is a specialized process.
