Comments:
The purpose of today's visit was to conduct a follow-up inspection, to the Informal Conference conducted on 5/8/2007. Please review the following: 1. Upon my inspection of the refrigeration and freezer units at the facility, I observed signs posted on the storage shelving of the walk in cooler and freezer. The signage specified which food item was to be placed on the which shelf. 2. Additionally, I did observe one handwritten food storage chart on one of reach in freezer units. However, the CFM was unable to locate the food storage charts provided by the Health Department. I provided food storage chart to the CFM to be placed on all refrigeration and freezer units. 3. Proper food storage was observed in all refrigeration and freezer units, with the exception of the following: 1. raw shell eggs were observed over sauce containers in the walk in cooler 2. raw beef, mussels and crabs were observed over and being stored with cooked shrimp in the reach in freezer unit 3. raw beef was over cooked beef in the sandwich prep unit. ---at my request, all food storage violations were corrected. 4. I did verify the repair were made to the drain lines under the 3-vat sink and a proper air gap was provided to the sanitize basin drain, via a visual inspection. 5. With the correction of the food storage violations observed, the facility is now deemed to be in substantial compliance and will be returned to normal inspection frequency. Please maintain proper food storage at all times.

Violation: 43.1-3-3(a) - Corrected During InspectionCritical (Repeat) There is no Certified Food Manager present at the beginning of the inspection. The Certified Food Manager arrived approximately 10 minutes after my arrival at the facility. It shall be unlawful to operate a food establishment unless it is under the immediate control of a certified food manager. It is highly suggested that you have more than one employee with the food manager's license. ORS Interactive, Inc. (see handout provided) issues the required photo identification card with proof of successful completion of a certified food manager's exam. Failure to have a certified food manager on site during ALL hours of operation including food preparation, food service, and cleaning/sanitizing of equipment/utensils will result in closure of the establishment.
Comments:
The purpose of this visit is to hand-deliver an Informal Conference Results Letter to the above facility. Upon my arrival, I asked a food worker to speak to the owner. Because the owner was unavailable, I asked to speak to a Certified Food Manager to sign for the letter. It was discovered that there was no Certified Food Manager at the establishment. Therefore, an owner, who is also a CFM, was called and arrived approximately 10 minutes after my arrival. The letter was delivered to the owner. BECAUSE OF A REPEAT VIOLATION, FURTHER ENFORCEMENT ACTION MAY BE NECESSARY. If you have any questions please call 703-246-8442.

Comments:
The purpose of this inspection was in response to a complaint received by our office on February 1, 2007. A routine inspection was conducted in addition to the complaint inspection. The complainant reported that a hamburger and fries was ordered at the above facility on 1/30/2007. When the complainant sat at the table in the facility, the complainant reportedly observed roaches. In addition, the complainant reported that when he used the bathroom at the facility, there were roaches in the bathroom as well. When the complainant attempted to report the problem to the person in charge, the report could not be understood because of a language barrier. During my inspection, I looked under the waterheater, in closets, and under the sinks and under the refrigeration units using a flashlight. In addition, the bathrooms were inspected. I observed 2 dead roaches (one in the bathroom and one near the waterheater) I did not observe any live roaches. On the day of the inspection, a pest control company had inspected and treated for german roaches. The facility is treated every 1 month and has a contract with the above named pest control company. The bathrooms were observed clean and neat. The women's restroom had a missing toilet tank cover. However, the person in charge has purchased a new cover and will be installing the cover by my follow-up in 10 days. COMPLAINT INSPECTION: 1. The dumpster lid was observed open. keep dumpster lids closed at all times. 2. The prep sink was leaking-repair the leak. 3. There was an odor coming from the grease trap---increase the frequency of cleaning. Per conversation with a food service worker, it is cleaned when it backs up...DO NOT WAIT UNTIL IT BACKS UP. Clean the grease trap at a minimum of monthly cleanings. Keep a log of cleaning. 4. The facility has a minimum amount of clutter, however, clutter, tight spaces will encourage pests to reside....reduce the clutter and you will decrease the risk of attracting pests in your facility. Because live roaches were not observed during my inspection, the complaint IS NOT CONFIRMED, and is therefore closed. However, note the above risk factors and the violations found in the above report. Correct critical violations within 10 days and non cricital violations within 90 days. Thank you for accompanying me through the Routine Inspection as your participation allows me to clarify information and identify areas where your processes may need further attention or assessment. ******IMPORTANT: I will conduct a follow-up inspection within 10 days. During this inspection, ALL CRITICAL VIOLATIONS MUST BE CORRECTED OR ENFORCEMENT ACTION MAY BE WARRANTED.****** In addition, I will be looking for a copy of the shell stock tags for the clams. From here on out, maintain shell stock tags at the facility for 90 days for inspection by the health department. Remember to keep the clams in the original container, then when the bag is completely used, keep the tag which will be attached to the bag...This tag must be maintained at the facility for 90 days. Also: Maintain your contract with the pest control company. I HAVE LEFT INFORMATION FOR YOU, CONCERNING THE PROPER WAY TO STORE POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS FOODS IN THE REFRIGERATION UNITS: CROSS CONTAMINATION It is important that raw meat is stored properly within refrigeration and freezer units to prevent cross contamination. Raw meat should be stored separately from ready-to-eat foods and from other types of raw meat. If stored on the same shelving unit within refrigerator and freezer units, raw meat should be stored as follows: TOP SHELF: All pre-cooked and ready-to-eat foods (e.g. vegetables, noodles) SECOND SHELF: Raw seafood/eggs THIRD SHELF: Raw beef/raw pork BOTTOM SHELF: Raw chicken If needed, in Spanish it is as follows: ESTANTE SUPERIOR: la comida precocinada y la comida que esta lista para comer (como vegetales) SEGUNDO ESTANTE: Mariscos crudo y huevos TERCER ESTANTE: Carne cruda ESTANTE INFERIOR: Pollo crudo I recommend making signs with this order and placing them on your refrigeration units so that your employees know the proper storage of food. Critical Violations shall be corrected within 10 days. Non-Critical Violations shall be corrected within 90 days. FOR MORE INFORMATION: ALL inspections are available for public viewing on the State of Virginia website (www.vdh.virginia.gov). Hot water heater: AO Smith, DRI 52 917, which uses to 15 kw produce 75 GPH. of 120F water at an 80F rise Dishmachine: N/A Vent hood cleaning: every 6 months Pest Control service: every 1 month: increase frequency if activity noted. Consumer Advisory: n/a It has been a pleasure to serve you today. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to call 703-246-2444. Thank You.
