Time used as public health control not properly documented (corrected on site)
Inspector notes: Observed there to be no time stamps for TCS food items on the make line that were being held under time as control. These items included sliced cheese, shredded cheese and sliced tomatoes. The internal temperature of these products was 45-51*F at time of inspection. PIC stated that products were stocked after the lunch rush, less than 2hrs prior to this inspection. Adjusted times were placed on product containers at time of inspection. Reviewed with PIC and employees that time stamps, whether using the digital timer or time stickers, must always be placed on TCS food items as soon as they are removed from refrigeration and placed on the make line
