Violations: Comments:
The purpose of today's visit was to conduct follow-up inspection to the critical procedure inspection conducted on 3/27/2008. Please review the following:

1. At the time of my arrival the dessert case was observed not in use, per CFM, the unit is to be removed. The 1 door prep refrigeration has been removed out of the kitchen.
2. The only items observed on the steam table were those used for breakfast and they were found holding at the proper temperature. Per the cook, all the items are now placed reheated on the range, prior to being placed on the steam table. However, the items from the previous night, taken from the steam table were found at temperatures of 49-55F. It was determined that these items had not been properly cooled.
3. Review cooling process. Excessive time for cooling of potentially hazardous foods has been consistently identified as one of the leading contributing factors to foodborne illness. If food is not cooled in accordance with the Code requirement, pathogens may grow to sufficient numbers to cause foodborne illness. PHF must cool from 135F to 70F within 2 hours, then from 70F to 41 F with in 4 hours.
4. It is important that raw meat is stored properly within refrigeration and freezer units to prevent cross contamination.

June 21, 2006 (Follow-up)


Violations: Comments:
The purpose of this visit was to followup on an inspection from 6/14/06.
The 3DR pizza prep unit has been replaced with a Silver King 2DR pizza prep unit. A new 3DR unit is on order. The sandwich unit in the kitchen has been serviced and is maintaining ambient air temp of less than 41F. Foods on the prep top were also observed cold holding at less than 41F. Thank you for your efforts to improve the refrigeration situation.
Effective immediately, time as the public health control will be used for the pasta salads, pepperoni, bean salads, cottage cheese and dressings on the buffet. A chart will be used to indicate start and discard times, per day. The chart will match the items on the buffet. It was agreed that 10:30am will be the start time and 2:30pm will be the discard time for the listed items. If items are replaced with a new portion, those items will be listed at a new start time on the chart. Under time as the public health control process, NO LEFTOVERS will be placed in the refrigerators for re-use, either the same day or the next day.
Other suggestions:
1) store a can of tuna in the walkin overnight so ingredients of tuna salad will be cold when it is made.
2) use the freezer to cool items quickly to 41F after they were made at room temperature.
3) when cooling lasagna, soup, chili, sauces and other items to be re-heated later it is necessary to monitor the temperature and the times of cooling. Hot items must cool from 140F to 70F in TWO hours. Then they must cool to 41F in another FOUR hours. Be proactive: shallow pans, small portions, use of the freezer, use of ice baths and ice wands all are methods which can help with cooling.
The next full inspection will be in August, as a followup to some maintenance issues.

June 13, 2006 (Follow-up)


Violations: Comments:
The purpose of this visit was to followup on an inspection from March 7, 2006. Some items have been corrected. Thank you.
Three refrigeration units - buffet, pizza prep and top of sandwich prep - are not maintaining foods at 41F or less. The pizza prep continues to be a problem. Repair it immediately to maintain 41F. DO NOT USE this unit until it is working properly. If the unit will not maintain 41F, replace it. Internal temperature of 55F is unacceptable. Not monitoring the temperature of unit that is not working properly is also not acceptable.
CFM/manager must be PROACTIVE in monitoring the temperatures of the foods in/on these units. Purchase MANY food thermometers. Place them in foods at the buffet unit, the pizza prep top and the sandwich prep top(right side). If the temperature is above 45F, switch the foods with items from the walkin that have been kept at 41F. It is also recommended that after the lunch rush, items on the sandwich prep and the buffet unit be replaced. Do not wait until 5pm.
There will be another followup inspection on items other than food prep - wall in dishwasher area, etc. - on August 10. At that time all facility related corrections must be completed.
The refrigeration units referred to above must be repaired immediately. There will. be a followup on those units in 7 days.

March 07, 2006 (Routine)


Violations: Comments:
The purpose of this visit was to conduct a routine inspection. The backflow prevention device(s) must be installed within 72 hours. Please contact the Health Department the installation is complete.
The following recommendations are made:
1) Provide ALL cooks/chefs with food thermometers. Temperatures must be monitored along the hot hold area as well as along the buffet and the cold hold prep areas.
2) Do not double pan at the cold buffet table. It is better to have refrigerated air around the pans(total cooling) than placing the pans on ice(bottom-only cooling).
3) Use proper cooling procedures to reduce hot food to 70F within 2 hours and to 41F in another 4 hours. See comments above for suggested methods.
4) When reheating items in the microwave, use thermometer periodically to assure that food was heated to 165F.
5) Do not use the pizza prep unit until it has been serviced to maintain 41F ambient air temperature.
There will be a followup inspection in approximately 90 days. At that time ALL violations above must be corrected. This includes the wall repair in the back room.
Water heater: A.O. Smith BTC 199 930; 190000BTU; 172.7gph recovery rate.
Dishwasher: Cleanware model CW-1; low temp; chlorine sanitizer

December 07, 2005 (Routine)


Violations: Comments:
The purpose of this visit was to conduct a routine inspection. Temperatures of foods in refrigeration units were acceptable with the exception of the sld bar items such as dolma and potato sld. The unit will most likely need servicing as there was no locatable thermostat adjuster.
Please attend to the critical violations listed above and have them corrected at your earliest convenience. If salad buffet does not maintain items in the low 40s F then you should not have the self serve buffet operational.
If after service by a technician the unit is not operating within acceptable parameters you may choose to begin
a Time as a Public Health Control Variance pending approval from the Health Dept.
COOKING, REHEATING & HOLDING TEMPERATURES:
DO NOT let food sit in the “DANGER ZONE” (41F-140F) for extended periods of time.
FOOD STORAGE:
Food shall be stored in the refrigeration and freezer units according to cook temperature to prevent contamination. Raw food products requiring higher cook temperatures shall be stored below raw food products requiring lower cook temperatures.
BOTTOM SHELF – Raw Poultry
MIDDLE SHELF – Raw Ground Beef, Sausage, & Other Comminuted Meats
TOP SHELF – Whole Intact Steaks, Pork, Seafood, Raw Shell Eggs
DATEMARKING:
Mark the name and "consume by" date on the container of ready-to-eat (RTE), potentially hazardous food (PHF) at the time of preparation if the food is to be held for more than 24 hours. Similarly, mark a "consume by" date on commercially processed RTE foods at the time the original container is opened. If the food is held at 41F or below the food shall be served or sold within 7 calendar, including the prep/open date. Some harmful bacteria continue to grow even at refrigeration temperatures so limiting the amount of time in storage limits the amount of growth allowed for these bacteria.
COOLING:
Cool potentially hazardous foods from 140F to 70F within 2 hours and from 70F to 41F or below within 4 hours. A longer time for cooling allows an ideal situation for bacterial growth. This has been shown to be the major contributing factor in many foodborne illnesses.
Do not allow food to cool at room temperature. When the temperature of hot food falls below 140F it must be under temperature control to prevent bacterial growth.
HANDWASHING REMINDER:
Instruct food employees to clean their hands and exposed portions of their arms immediately before engaging in food preparation including working with exposed food, clean equipment and utensils, and unwrapped single-service and single-use articles and during food preparation, as often as necessary to remove soil and contamination and to prevent cross contamination when changing task.
Hot Water Heater: AOSMith, BTR 410 A; 190,000 BTUs; recovery rate is 208 Gallons per Hour.
Dishwasher: chemical dish machine

June 13, 2005 (Routine)


Violations: Comments:
This visit was made to conduct a routine inspection. Please review the following comments:
1. All critical violations were corrected during the inspection.
2. Due to large number of violations, a follow-up will be conducted within the next ten days, on or about 06.23.05. Correct as many violations as possible within this time. Beware of REPEAT violations. Correct these violations immediately so that enforcement action is not necessary. All repeat violations are now flagrant and are subject to a notice of violation.
3. Refrigeration technician arrived on site to service all cooling units. He advised that the walk-in is working properly and was simply on the defrost cycle. He is going to replace the curtains to help the unit maintain its ambient air temperature.
The pizza prep is currently being worked on. He plans to repair the dessert unit and freezer tonight after the establishment closes. Neither unit was in use at time of inspection.
Recommendations were made on how to use the cold hold buffet line optimally.
Please fax copy of invoice of service to the Health Department once the units are working. Do not store any PHF's in the pizza prep until it is working properly.
4. Be sure to monitor all hot/cold potentially hazardous foods. Bacterial growth and/or toxin production can occur if PHF's remain in the temperature "Danger Zone" of 41F-140F too long.
5. Review cooling process. Excessive time for cooling of potentially hazardous foods has been consistently identified as one of the leading contributing factors to foodborne illness. If food is not cooled in accordance with the Code requirement, pathogens may grow to sufficient numbers to cause foodborne illness.
6. Professional Pest Control Company services twice/month. No activity/evidence noted today.
If you have any questions, please contact me. Thank you.
No change in the hot water heater or dishmachine.
