Observed when testing the firm's fruit wash that the PIC inside the Food preparation department was not aware of washing the firm's produce before use. During instruction of fruit wash testing, all PICs inside of the Food preparation department pointed to the 'Ammonia test strips' placard stating 200 ppm near the 2 Compartment sink to register the parts per million of the firm's "Low Chlorine sanitizer' fruit wash. Your test strips must be used according to what sanitizer is used by firm. Per manufacturer's instructions, the firm's fruit wash is chlorine and chlorine fruit wash test strips must be used to register the proper parts per million. Several basins of Fruit Wash sanitizer registered above 200 ppm, which is toxic. The safe rate must be between 30 to 60 ppm. |

Observed no pan or cover for pastries cooling inside of the bakery. Pastries were cool to the touch and are stored on racks. I advised PICs to use an empty food pan to cover the top of every rack of cooked pastries. This will keep contaminates out during cooling. |
PIC voluntarily placed pans over cooling pastries. |

Observed High levels of sanitizer when testing the Fruit wash stations inside of the Bakery and Food Preparation areas using the firm's test strips. The firm did not have any test strips inside of the Food preparation area and had to retrieve some from the Bakery Department. Fruit wash sanitizer reached as high as 200 ppm making sanitizer toxic to use. Per Manufacturing instructions, concentration must be between 30 to 60 ppm to safely sanitize produce. |
Both fruit wash sinks were voluntarily shutdown by PICs until sanitizer dispenser can be repaired. The firm's fruit wash cannot be mixed manually. |
