FOOD CONTACT SURFACES: CLEAN AND SANITIZED
Why This Matters

What Was Observed
Observed a mold-like substance growing inside the ice machine on the condenser cover and near ice chute.
- Regularly clean and sanitize ice machine interior with a mild bleach solution and allow to air dry. Maintain at frequency suitable to minimize growth of mold-like substance.
