General inspector comments

*Food must be dated with day it was cooked–NOT the day it was portioned an/or assembled (example: if mac n cheese is put together 10/27 but the actual pasta was made 10/25, the mac n cheese must be dated with the oldest date of 10/25). This was noted on previous inspection. Will be marked out of compliance on all future inspections. *Dishes may not be stacked while they are wet–they must air-dry. *Dish machine- 50 ppm (Cl) *Sanitizer- in range
