Ensure sanitizer is maintained at the proper concentration at all times.The bleach sanitizer on site was observed to be lemon-scented. As discussed during the inspection, scented bleach or bleach products containing additives such as fabric protection agents are not approved for use on food contact surfaces or dishes, as they may leave a non-food-grade residue. Only plain, unscented bleach should be used for sanitizing food contact surfaces and equipment.
