Thank you for answering my questions as this allows me to clarify information and identify areas where your processes may need further attention or assessment. During the inspection of this establishment it was noted that management was aware of the Food Code provision that employees are required to report certain symptoms or diagnosed illnesses to the person in charge. However, the person in charge was NOT able to name the Big Five Foodborne illness which are required to be reported to the Health Department; information was left with the CFM to post. The facility does have an employee health policy and would not allow food workers to work if having symptoms outlined in the employee health handout provided to the CFM FOR MORE INFORMATION: ALL inspections are available for public viewing on the State of Virginia website (www.vdh.virginia.gov).
