The challenge study provided by the manufacturer of the cobblers states that the cobblers may be left out at room temperature for 3 days or refrigerated for 5 days. However, the facility is heating cobblers up and not actively maintaining that temperature. Documentation from the manufacturer needs to be provided stating that this is acceptable.
This was a joint inspection done with Tanija Chestnut.
