Today I conducted a routine inspection and discussed with the certified food manager the following:
1. Management should reiterate the 5 major risk factors associated with foodborne illness with all staff frequently: Employee health policy, Personal hygiene, Contaminated equipment/utensils, Time/Temperature relationships for food and Unapproved food sources.
2. Management should calibrate the metal stemmed food thermometer at least once a week in an ice water bath to 32f to ensure accuracy. Wash, rinse and sanitize the thermometer before each use.
3. Management should renew any expired LCFM cards at ORS Interactive. See hand out provided.
4. Management should remind staff to keep any hoses above the flood level rim of the mop sink basin.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at 703-246-2444. Thank you.
