Inspector comments: The intention for TCS foods in warmer boxes or warming display cases (hot dogs, tacos, pizza, breakfast sandwiches, etc) is TPHC.

EHS advises PIC that all of these conditions must be met in order for TPHC to be in compliance.
EHS provided template for TPHC written procedures and ensured proper starting temps during inspection. EHS advises PIC not to rely exclusively on timers for tracking disposal times. Either labels on each item, or a white board with items and disposal times listed, should be used. EHS offers business card and encourages PIC to reach out with any questions or concerns.
