October 07, 2008 (Routine)
Violations: - 4-101.19 - The nonfood-contact surface of cardboard used to line some shelving in the produce walk-in refrigerator are not corrosion-resistant, nonabsorbent, and/or smooth.
Nonfood-contact surfaces of equipment that are exposed to splash, spillage, or other food soiling or that requires frequent cleaning shall be constructed of a corrosion-resistant, nonabsorbent, and smooth material. Nonfood-contact surfaces of equipment routinely exposed to splash or food debris are required to be constructed of nonabsorbent materials to facilitate cleaning. Equipment that is easily cleaned minimizes the presence of pathogenic organisms, moisture, and debris and deters the attraction of rodents and insects.
- 4-202.16 - The nonfood-contact surface of the soda crates and milk crates used as shelving in the warehouse house areas upstairs and on the main level are not free of unnecessary ledges, projections, and crevices, and/or designed and constructed to be easily cleanable or maintained.
Nonfood-contact surfaces shall be free of unnecessary ledges, projections, and crevices, and designed and constructed to allow easy cleaning and to facilitate maintenance. Hard-to-clean areas could result in the attraction and harborage of insects and rodents and allow the growth of foodborne pathogenic microorganisms. Well-designed equipment enhances the ability to keep nonfood-contact surfaces clean.
- 4-204.112 - The equipment noted on page one of this report are not equipped with at least one integral or permanently affixed temperature measuring device that is located to allow easy viewing of the device's temperature display.
Cold or hot holding equipment used for potentially hazardous food (time/temperature control for safety food) shall be designed to include and shall be equipped with at least one integral or permanently affixed temperature measuring device that is located to allow easy viewing of the device's temperature display. This section does not apply to equipment for which the placement of a temperature measuring device is not a practical means for measuring the ambient air surrounding the food because of the design, type, and use of the equipment, such as calrod units, heat lamps, cold plates, bainmaries, steamtables, insulated food transport containers, and salad bars. A permanent temperature measuring device is required in any unit storing potentially hazardous (time/temperature control for safety) food because of the potential growth of pathogenic microorganisms should the temperature of the unit exceed Code requirements. In order to facilitate routine monitoring of the unit, the device must be clearly visible.
- 4-501.11 - Some shelving legs in the produce walk-in refrigerator are bent.
Equipment shall be maintained in a state of repair and condition that meets the requirements specified under Parts 4-1 [Materials for Construction and Repair] and 4-2 [Design and Construction]. Proper maintenance of equipment to manufacturer specifications helps ensure that it will continue to operate as designed. Failure to properly maintain equipment could lead to violations of the associated requirements of the Code that place the health of the consumer at risk. For example, refrigeration units in disrepair may no longer be capable of properly cooling or holding potentially hazardous (time/temperature control for safety) foods at safe temperatures.
- 4-602.13 - The nonfood-contact surface of where the phone used to be stored in the meat prep room, the shelves in the meat walk-in refrigerator, the shelves in the produce walk-in refrigerator, and the shelves in the egg display case refrigerator are not cleaned at a frequency necessary to preclude the accumulation of soil residues.
Nonfood-contact surfaces of equipment shall be cleaned at a frequency necessary to preclude accumulation of soil residues. The presence of food debris or dirt on nonfood contact surfaces may provide a suitable environment for the growth of microorganisms which employees may inadvertently transfer to food. If these areas are not kept clean, they may also provide harborage for insects, rodents, and other pests.
- 4-903.11 - Some single-service articles [styrofoam trays] in the meat department were observed soiled on the upper shelves of the prep room.
Cleaned equipment and utensils, laundered linens, and single-service and single-use articles shall be stored: (1) In a clean, dry location; (2) Where they are not exposed to splash, dust or other contamination; (3) At least 15 cm (6 inches) above the floor. Items that are kept in closed packages may be stored less than 15 cm (6 inches) above the floor on dollies, pallets, racks, and skids that are designed as specified under section 4-204.112. Clean equipment and multiuse utensils which have been cleaned and sanitized, laundered linens, and single-service and single-use articles can become contaminated before their intended use in a variety of ways such as through water leakage, pest infestation, or other insanitary condition.
- 5-205.15B - The seafood department 2-part sink stoppers are not maintained good repair.
A plumbing system shall be maintained in good repair. Improper repair or maintenance may result in the creation of obnoxious odors or nuisances, and may also adversely affect the operation of warewashing equipment or other equipment which depends on sufficient volume and pressure to perform its intended functions.
- 6-202.15 - The outer openings [exit doors] of the food establishment are not protected against the entry of insects and rodents [air gaps around the doors].
Outer openings of a food establishment shall be protected against the entry of insects and rodents by: (1) Filling or closing holes and other gaps along floors, walls, and ceilings; (2) Closed; tight-fitting windows; and (3) Solid, self-closing, tight-fitting doors. This does not apply if a food establishment opens into a larger structure, such as a mall, airport, or office building, or into an attached structure, such as a porch, and the outer openings from the larger or attached structure are protected against the entry of insects and rodents. Exterior doors used as exits need not be self-closing if they are: (1) Solid and tight-fitting; (2) Designated for use only when and emergency exists, by the fire protection authority that has jurisdiction over the food establishment; and (3) Limited-use so they are not used for entrance or exit from the building for purposes other than the designated emergency exit use. If windows or doors are kept open for ventilation or other purposes or a temporary food establishment is not provided with windows and doors, the openings shall be protected against the entry of insects and rodents by: (1) 16 mesh to 25.4 mm (16 mesh to 1 inch) screens; (2) Properly designed and installed air curtains to control flying insects; or (3) Other effective means. This does not apply if flying insects and other pests are absent due to the location of the establishment, the weather, or other limiting condition. Insects and rodents are vectors of disease-causing microorganisms which may be transmitted to humans by contamination of food and food-contact surfaces. The presence of insects and rodents is minimized by protecting outer openings to the food establishment.
- 6-301.12 - Corrected During Inspection Each handwashing sink is not provided with individual, disposable towels; a continuous towel system that supplies the user with a clean towel; or a heated-air hand drying device [produce prep room].
Each handwashing sink or group of adjacent handwashing sinks shall be provided with: (A) Individual, disposable towels; (B) A continuous towel system that supplies the user with a clean towel; or (C) A heated-air hand drying device. Provisions must be provided for hand drying so that employees will not dry their hands on their clothing or other unclean materials.
- 6-304.11 - Mechanical ventilation of sufficient capacity is not provided to keep the janitor's closest on the main level free of excessive heat, steam, condensation, vapors, obnoxious odors, smoke, and/or fumes.
If necessary to keep rooms free of excessive heat, steam, condensation, vapors, obnoxious odors, smoke and fumes, mechanical ventilation of sufficient capacity shall be provided. When mechanical ventilation is necessary, it must have adequate capacity to ensure that soiling of walls, ceilings, and other equipment is minimized; obnoxious odors or toxic fumes are effectively removed; and no hazards or nuisances involving accumulation of fats, oils, and similar wastes are created. Balancing of the exhaust and make-up air must be ensured so that the system can operate efficiently.
- 6-501.11 - 1. The back wall panel in the main level janitor's closest is no longer sealed to its adjoining wall.2. Missing grout in-between some wall tiles behind the steamer and around some pipes in the seafood department prep room.3. There is a hole in the wall where the phone use to be located.4. The new wall tiles in the meat prep room are not sealed to the old baseboard tiles.5. The baseboard tiles in the produce prep room are no longer sealed properly to its adjoining wall to the right of the prep sink.6. There are a couple areas of patched flooring with duck tape on the produce prep room.
Physical facilities shall be maintained in good repair. Poor repair and maintenance compromises the functionality of the physical facilities. This requirement is intended to ensure that the physical facilities are properly maintained in order serve their intended purpose.
- 6-501.111 - Insect, rodent, and/or other pest harborage conditions exist on the premises [fruit flies observed in around the janitor's closests].
The presence of insects, rodents, and other pests shall be controlled to minimize their presence on the premises by eliminating harborage conditions. Insects and other pests are capable of transmitting disease to man by contaminating food and food-contact surfaces. Effective measures must be taken to control their presence in food establishments.
- 6-501.12 - The floors in the meat walk-in refrigerator, meat prep room, and in the main level janitor's closet are not cleaned as often as necessary to keep them clean.
Physical facilities shall be cleaned as often as necessary to keep them clean. Cleaning of the physical facilities is an important measure in ensuring the protection and sanitary preparation of food. A regular cleaning schedule should be established and followed to maintain the facility in a clean and sanitary manner.
- 6-501.13 - Dustless methods of cleaning are not used [corn-husk broom observed in the meat prep room].
Only dustless methods of cleaning shall be used, such as wet cleaning, vacuum cleaning, mopping with treated dust mops, or sweeping using a broom and dust-arresting compounds. Spills or drippage on floors that occur between normal floor cleaning times may be cleaned: (1) Without the use of dust-arresting compounds; and (2) In the case of liquid spills or drippage, with use of a small amount of absorbent compound such as sawdust or diatomaceous earth applied immediately before spot cleaning. Dustless floor cleaning methods must be used so that food; equipment, utensils, and linens; and single-service and single-use articles are not contaminated.
- 6-501.16 - After use, the mop is not placed in a position that allows it to air-dry.
After use, mops shall be placed in a position that allows them to air-dry without soiling walls, equipment, or supplies. Mops can contaminate food and food preparation areas if not properly cleaned and stored after use. Mops should be cleaned and dried in a sanitary manner away from food flow areas.
