Equipment lacks capacity to maintain safe food temperatures
(corrected on site)
Inspector notes: In the walk-in cooler, observed chicken salad/55 in a covered plastic container over 8 inches deep. Also observed a pan of cooked cut potatoes/85 cooling at room temperature. TCS foods must be cooled in: uncovered/loosely covered, shallow containers less than 4 inches deep, in equipment designed to rapidly cool, by using an ice bath, by using ice as an ingredient, or another effective means. Per staff, both food items were within safe cooling parameters and were transferred, in shallow uncovered pans to the walk-in cooler to facilitate cooling
