However, Tim and I went into the new Cold room yesterday and were shocked to see how the workers handle the r/m. I recall that we saw this kind of practice in the old cold room and was hoping to the new room would fix this practice...sadly no
Even though these fish are SK property, they are for our mutual program and I care for how r/m is handled. We saw several totes open with plastic liner left open and lots of ice.
Trust you can explain to staff that this is not the way to treat r/m no mater whose r/m it is.
One more issue that needs mentioning: Temperature in frozen processing room.
The thermometer in the room is place right in front of the A/C and showed 25 C.
The room was warmer elsewhere, of course.
This high temperature resulted in burgers that showed thawing on the edges (no sharp edge anymore) and warm fish in the system. Did not see any gel packs being used (should I send them?)
Sorry to bother you with this but your crew will listen to you .
