Observed a few items in the walk-in cooler to not be properly labeled. A container of special sauce had no label and a container of onions was mislabeled stating that they should have been used back on Sunday 11/3. Provide for all food items to be labeled and to be used according to the facilities food usage policies. Onions have a 24hour use date after prep. Facility was granted the ability to use the food product since the stores policy is more stringent then the code, but the onions will be used today. The sauce was labeled on site. COS
