Inspection findings

Inspection date

Type
Cold foods were being stored at proper temperatures. Correct procedures were being followed for using "time as the food safety control," instead of "temperature," for several of the foods.
No violation noted during this evaluation.		09/09/2015Other
  • Critical: Food - Potentially Hazardous Food - Cold Holding*
    Observation: Potentially hazardous foods were out of temperatures the glass door refrigerator, and in the white/tan refrigerator. Cooked rice, and butter spread, were at 49 F, in the white/tan refrigerator. Diced tomatoes and slices of tomatoes were at 50 F, in the glass door refrigerator.
    Correction: It is critical to know exactly when "cold" foods go out of temperature. That is above 41F. When a potentially hazardous food goes out of temperature, it must be eaten, or discarded, within 4 hours, or there is a risk of foodborne illness. If you wish to hold cold foods at 41 F, or lower, at all times, in your refrigerators, you will need to cool the foods down to 41 F, or lower, by placing the foods in the containers in ice, in a large cooler, before placing the food containers in the refrigerator. Monitor cooling with your digital cook's thermometer. Some adjustment of the refrigerators may also be helpful.
    If you use "time as the food safety control" instead of temperature, we require that a label be placed on each container of food saying the time the food was taken out of the refrigerator (or, in the case of diced, or sliced tomatoes, or diced onions, saying the time that the tomatoes were sliced or diced or the onions were chopped). All of these foods must be eaten, or discarded, within 4 hours. Also, the foods must be placed in a new clean container, at least every 4 hours.
08/20/2015Routine
Handwashing, and dishwashing, facilities were being maintained correctly.
  • Critical: Food - Packaged and Unpackaged - Separation, Packaging, and Segregation* (corrected on site)
    Observation: There was a plastic bag containing raw beef being stored above a commercial container of butter spread, in the reach-in refrigerator.
    Correction: Raw meats must always be stored below, and well separated from, all "ready-to eat" foods. This is true, even if the "ready-to-eat" food might be cooked, prior to service to customers. The bag of raw beef was placed in the bottom in the refrigerator, below all "ready-to-eat" foods. This corrected the violation.
12/19/2014Risk Factor
Handwashing, and dishwashing, facilities were being maintained properly. No food temperature problems were observed.
No violation noted during this evaluation.		04/25/2014Routine
Handwashing facilities were being maintained properly. No food temperature problems were observed.
  • Equipment - Good Repair and Proper Adjustment
    Observation: The hot water handle is missing on the left faucet of the three compartment (dishwashing) sink.
    Correction: This handle needs to be put back in place on this faucet, as soon as possible. Each faucet is required to have both the hot and the cold handles both working,, above the sink basins.
  • Single-Service and Single-Use Articles, Use Limitation
    Observation: Guacamole was being stored in a plastic margarine bucket, with commercial writing on the top saying "margarine.
    Correction: We do not allow the re-use of food containers for storage of foods other than the food which originally came in the container. These containers were specified by the food supplier to be for a single use only. Replace using tupperware, or some other type of more durable container that can stand up to repeated wash, rinse, then sanitize dishwashing.
