There were 5 large plastic containers dated 4/17, each filled with approximately 6 inches of shredded cheese ranging from 46-49 degrees F in the walk-in cooler. The PIC clarified the cheese was removed from refrigeration to be shredded at approximately 9 AM and the complete process did not finish until approximately 11:30 AM. There was also a deep covered container of salsa dated 4/16 at 47 degrees F in the walk-in cooler. The PIC could not identify why the product was not at 41 degrees F or less. (R1)
COS: The cheese and salsa were discarded.

Note: This is the second consecutive routine inspection that TCS cold foods were not maintained at 41 degrees F or less (R1 - First Repeat). A further repeat of this violation on the next routine inspection will result in a yellow Food Safety Alert.
