In-use utensils may be safely stored in hot water maintained at 135oF or above during intermittent use because microbial growth is controlled at such temperatures. In-use utensils may not be stored in chemical sanitizer or ice between uses. Ice scoops may be stored handles up in an ice bin except for an ice machine. *** THREE PLASTIC CONTAINERS WERE OBSERVED CONTAINING YEAST, CINNAMON, AND SUGAR, WITH UTENSILS STORED INSIDE EACH CONTAINER AND HANDLES POSITIONED WITHIN THE PRODUCT.
