RE: Equipment Performance and Sources
As the end of the summer rapidly approaches, I would like to give you a11 an update on the our
progress with Compliance Checks for M�imizing Thermometers or Heat Labels. First, I would
like to thank each and every one of you for your effort and regard in complying with this
regulation. The response has been impressive and your concern for the health and safety of our �
guests is wonderful.
For those of you who expressed concern about the numbers wearing off of the Taylor Maximizing
Thermometer, I would like to report that I have issued a formal complaint with Bailey's Test
Strips and Thermometer Company. I informed them of our dissatisfaction and they will be
contacting the Taylor Company to report this issue. For the meantime, Bailey's suggests writing
over the numbers with a permanent marker. However, I will continue to express our concern to
Bailey's.
Also, I was informed of another contact for maximum register thermometers. A local
establishment, Dennisport Culinary sells maximizing thermometers. Enclosed is a list of contact
sources for many of your equipment needs.
Again, please know that your assistance and cooperation is appreciated. If you have further
concerns or questions, please feel free to contact me in the Health Office, Monday through Friday
from 8:30 am unti14:30 pm. I hope this summer has been healthy and fruitful for all.
Sincerely,

RE: Re-Inspection pertaining to MA State Regulation l OSCMR:590.028, Section 9
Mid-summer greetings to you a11. This letter is to inform you that re-inspections of dishwashing
facilities will occur in the very near future. You were previously notified of MA Regulation
lOSCMR: 590.028, Section 9 and its requirements in a letter sent out June 23, 1999. Now a
month later, compliance checks will begin. During these inspections, I will be looking for:
1. Maximizing Thermometer or Heat Labels in working condition
2. Written Records of Temperature Checks when guest dishes have
been washed
3. Dishwasher temperatures of at least 150�F
Please make every effort to be prepared for these inspections. If you encountered any problems
obtaining a maximizing thermometer or heat labels,please conta.ct me at the Health O�ce. In
helping other establishments locate supplies,I came across another distributor of Maximum
Register Thermometers. I have a copy of their catalogue in the Health Office. Please feel free .
to come by and look at it.
