September 23, 2005 (Complaint)

Comments:
The purpose of this visit is to conduct a complaint investigation of possible cross-contamination. I spoke to owner who was unaware of the complaint. Complaint was there is a possiblity of cross contamination from raw chicken to the vegetables. I observed the meal stations set up for customers with one or two dishes at each station. If raw chicken is pulled from pan and pulled across the prep unit there could be some cross contamination. However, the vegetables at prep station are mixed with raw chicken by the customer in the process of making the meals and the vegetables are added to the chicken right after the chicken is pulled from the pans. So even if somebody pulls the raw chicken over and across the prep unit, all ingredients are mixed together at this time and prior to cooking anyway so there is no risk of foodborne illness if the customers cooks the meals as prescribed.
Acceptable food handling practices were in place during this visit. A complete inspection was also conducted today. See inspection dated Sept. 23, 2005 for details.
