Inspection findings

Inspection date

Type

All food temperatures taken were internal.
Certified Food Manager Certificate is expiring soon, make sure the facility renews.
This inspection was a risk factor inspection that focused on the 5 risk factors for foodborne illness (food from unapproved sources, inadequate cooking temperatures, inadequate holding temperatures, improper employee health and hygiene, and cross contamination of food and equipment). Good retail practices (GRPS) observed were discussed with operator and/or staff at time of evaluation.

  • Critical: Shellfish - Shellstock - Maintaining Identification* (corrected on site) (repeated violation)
    Observation: Inadequate record keeping system of oyster tags. The dates are not being written on the tags from when the oysters were served.
    Correction: Use an approved record keeping system that keeps the tags or labels in chronological order correlated to the date when, or dates during which the shellstock are sold or served.
  • Critical: Date Marking - Ready-to-Eat - Potentially Hazardous Food - Date Marking* (corrected on site) (repeated violation)
    Observation: The prepared ready-to-eat (RTE) foods that have been frozen and placed back under refrigeration in the walk-in cooler are not properly dated for disposition.
    Correction: Once the food has been taken from the freezer a new date label should be placed on the product. Mark the name and "consume by" date on the container of RTE foods at the time of preparation if the food is to be held for more than 24 hours. If the food is held at 41°F or below the food shall be served or sold within 7 calendar days. 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. Freezing the food stops the time clock and eack time the food thaws the 7 days does not start over, the time clock continues.
  • Critical: Food - Consumption of Raw or Undercooked Animal Foods (corrected on site)
    Observation: A review of the menu with the food service operator indicates that there is no consumer advisory for the eggs on the breakfast menu and oysters on the football menu that may be served raw and/or undercooked. Burgers, steaks and oysters on the main menu do not contain proper disclosure.
    Correction: If an animal food such as beef, eggs, fish, lamb, milk, pork, poultry, or shellfish is served or sold raw or undercooked the permit holder shall inform consumers of the significantly increased risk of consuming such foods by way of a disclosure and reminder using brochures, deli case or menu advisories, label statements, table tents, placards, or other effective written means. The should be an asterisk by the food item on the menu and on the menu a statement that reads * The following foods on our menu may be cooked to order :Burgers, Steaks, Oysters, Eggs. Consuming raw or undercooked, seafood, meat, and eggs may increase your risk of food borne illness. A leaflet is being printed and inserted into menus, on the main menu the disclosure will be hand written.
11/09/2015Risk Factor
  • Critical: Shellfish - Shellstock - Maintaining Identification* (corrected on site) (repeated violation)
    Observation: Tags missing from the oyster containers.
    Correction: Ensure the tags remain attached to the shellstock container in which they were received until the container is empty. Tag was placed back on the container during the inspection.
  • Critical: Food - Potentially Hazardous Food - Cold Holding* (corrected on site)
    Observation: The following foods are cold holding at improper temperatures: Ham- 49*F, Cheese- 51*F, Corned Beef- 54*F, Meatloaf- 54*F, chicken- 49*F, honey butter- 48*F and crab meat- 50*F in the make table
    Correction: butter- 53*F in the coca-cola display refrigerator, milk- 47*F in the bar keg cooler.
  • Critical: Date Marking - Ready-to-Eat - Potentially Hazardous Food - Date Marking* (corrected on site)
    Observation: The prepared ready-to-eat (RTE) foods in the walk-in cooler are not properly dated for disposition, old date lables are left on the containers.
    Correction: Mark the name and "consume by" date on the container of RTE foods at the time of preparation if the food is to be held for more than 24 hours. If the food is held at 41°F or below the food shall be served or sold within 7 calendar days. 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.
