Comments:
Foodservice employees need to be trained and knowledgeable regarding cooking temperatures. Observed raw, stuffed salmon cooking for lunch service during today's inspection. When asked about the proper cooking temperature, the food employee advised the stuffed fish is cooked at 155 F. The Environmental Health Specialist (EHS) advised the employee that a raw, stuffed fish product must be cooked to a temperature of 165 F or above for 15 seconds. Review food temperatures (hot holding, cold holding, cooling, reheating, cooking) with all foodservice employees. An employee health policy has been implemented at the facility. However, the Employee Illness / Infection Reporting Policy (Policy #108) states the following: "The Dietary Manager will notify the local Health Department if a food employee is diagnosed with an illness due to Salmonella typhi, Escherichia coli O157:H7 or other EHEC/STEC infection; or Hepatitis A virus." Please note the Commonwealth of Virginia Board of Health Food Regulations lists the following reportable illnesses: Salmonella typhi, Shigella spp., Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli, or Hepatitis A virus." The facility employee illness / infection reporting policy does not list Shigella spp. as a reportable illness. Additionally, the employee illness / infection reporting policy does not state employee illness reporting procedures for the following situations (12 VAC 5-421-80): "Employee lives in the same household as a person who is diagnosed with a disease caused by S. typhi, Shigella spp., Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli, or hepatitis A virus, or lives in the same household as a person who attends or works in a setting where there is a confirmed disease outbreak caused by S. typhi, Shigella spp., Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli, or hepatitis A virus." EHS suggests modifying the employee illness / infection reporting policy to reflect sections of the Commonwealth of Virginia Board of Health Food Regulations as stated above. Observed a wash and final rinse / sanitize log kept for the mechanical warewashing equipment (high temp sanitizing machine). However, employees have consistenly and repeatedly noted the wash temperature as "160 F" and the final rinse temperature as "180 F". These temperatures were also noted on today's date even though the dishmachine was observed not functioning properly or reaching the required wash or final rinse temperature. Ensure employees are noting actual observed temperatures, not just the minimum temperatures noted on the equipment data plate. Water filter was observed missing at the ice machine. Replace water filter. Observed multiple rolling carts used to store dishes that were visibly soiled. Ensure employees are cleaning and sanitizing carts on a routine basis throughout the day. Observed food items stored on top of a milk crate on the floor of the walk in freezer. Remove milk crate from the walk in freezer. Contact the EHS with any questions or concerns: 540-857-7807.
May 14, 2008 (Routine)
Violation: 0080 - Corrected During InspectionCritical Employees or applicants are not aware of the reporting procedures concerning information about their health and activities as they relate to diseases that are transmissible through food, including the date of onset of jaundice or of an illness due to Salmonella Typhi, Shigella spp., Escherichia coli O157:H7 or Hepatitis A virus. Have the license holder require employees or applicants report to the person in charge any information about their health and activities if they are diagnosed with or had a past illness from Salmonella Typhi, Shigella spp., Escherichia coli O157:H7 or Hepatitis A virus. The Environmental Health Specialist (EHS) has provided the Person in Charge (PIC) with employee health information. PIC has advised an intact employee health policy will be immediately implemented. Violation corrected during inspection.
Comments:
Person in Charge (PIC) advised the facility receives and serves only pasteurized eggs. PIC advised no juices are freshly squeezed and no bean sprouts are served. The Environmental Health Specialist (EHS) observed a date marking sheet that advised open containers of commercially processed cottage cheese are to be marked with the "use by date" that is printed on the side of the container. EHS has advised the PIC to date mark cottage cheese to be used within 7 days of opening. Concentration of chlorine sanitizer in the wiping cloth bucket: 200 ppm. A concentration of 50-100 ppm is ideal. Facility food suppliers are approved at this time. EHS has provided the PIC with employee health policy information. Contact the EHS with any additional questions or concerns: 540-857-7807.
November 05, 2007 (Routine)
Comments:
No violations observed during inspection. Observed temperature log recording the wash and rinse temperatures for the mechanical warewashing equipment. The temperature log lists several temperatures that are not within acceptable range. Speak with employees about proper temperature readings. Appropriate corrective actions must accompany any inappropriate temperature readings. If temperatures are too low, check that booster heater has been turned on. Unit may need to run for several minutes before temperature readings are high enough. Observed one pair of dirty tongs hung up with clean utensils. Observed two clean spatulas stored in contact with the wall at the knife-holder box. Do not store any clean utensils in contact with the wall or any other unclean surface. Ensure all utensils have been properly cleaned and sanitized before placing with other clean utensils. Person in charge (PIC) advised facility has a pest control contract and that no insecticides / pest control chemicals applied from any unlicensed personnel. Thickened fruit juice is not labeled as pasteurized. Contact food provider to verify whether or not thickened juice is pasteurized. Contact Environmental Health Specialist (EHS) with information.
