10/22/2015Routine Reinspection 1st100
  • [1] Original container; properly labeled
    Observed various plastic storage bags in the fridge and the freezer of meat; beans; collard greens; etc. without dates or labels. All food items need to be labeled and dates. Frozen items can be held indefinitely but items in opened container and bags can only be held for days <=41F.
  • [2] Food protected during storage; preparation; display; service; transportation
    Observed individual bags of fish and chicken intermingled in a metal pan on a mobile cart in front of the fryer. These bags were open; next to each other and only had a small amount of ice on them. Contact said they go through the meat fast be that it had been out since before lunch. This practice cannot not continue due to the lack of separation of different meats and because these items are not being monitored for temperature. Contact put all meat items into a respective container in the make-up table across from the fryer. Items will then be pulled from the fridge per order and then fried. Corrected on site.
  • [2] Potentially hazardous food properly thawed
    Observed beans; frog legs and fish being thawed on the back counter near the meat slicer. Incorrect thawing. Thaw all foods under continuously cold running water; under refrigeration; in the microwave; or as part of the cooking process to prevent bacteria growth. All items were placed in the reach-in fridge across from the walk-in fridge to finish thawing. Corrected on site.
  • [4] Sanitization rinse; clean; temperature concentration; exposure time; equipment; utensils sanitized
    High temperature dishwasher was 170F at the manifold and 159F at the rack. Contact said they do not use the dishwasher often. Contact fixed the machine during the inspection and observed final rinse >180F. If machine is going to be used to wash dishes; CFPM needs to ensure that unit is working prior to using machine. Facility is required to maintain dishwasher logs until further notice. Corrected on site.
  • [2] Accurate thermometers; chemical test kits provided; gauge cock (1/4" IPS Valve)
    Facility was using chlorine in the sanitizer buckets but facility does not have chlorine test strips. Facility has Quat sanitizer on site as well; but the need to replace test strips due to the heat degradation from sitting on the high temp dishwasher. Must provide accurate and appropriate chemical test kits. Ensure all staff know what is the proper concentration of sanitizer solution. Review concentration with staff which is 50-100 ppm Cl.
  • [1] Wiping clothes: clean; use restricted
    Observed a pile of used; damp rags on the table next to the three compartment sink. These rags were used today and needed to be laundered. Keep all dirty rags away from food contact surfaces or keep rags in a sanitizer solution. Rags were removed and santiizer buckets were made durnig the inspection; These buckets need to be chaged evey hours or when the solution becomes visibly dirty. Sanitizer bucket was >200 ppm Cl; need to reduce solution so it is 50-100 ppm Cl. Corrected on site.
  • [2] Toilet rooms: self closing doors; fixtures maintained; clean; hand soap/drying devices provided; proper waste receptacle
    Observed staff pour liquid from chicken and fish tub into the handsink. Has staff cease and has handsink clean and sanitized. HANDSINKS CAN ONLY BE USED FOR HANDWASHING. Corrected on site.
