Violation descriptions and comments

Apr 21, 2005

IMPROPER EQUIPMENT DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION
10b Non-food contact surfaces
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
Non-food contact surfaces of equipment routinely exposed to splash or food debris must be constructed to be smooth, durable, nonabsorbent and easily cleanable. Equipment that does not meet these criteria becomes difficult to clean, allowing soil, moisture, debris and disease-causing bacteria to accumulate.

FOOD TEMPERATURE CONTROL
3f Food thermometer not available
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
Most food poisonings are associated with foods held at temperatures between 41oF and 140oF for extended periods of time. Health Department inspections stress temperature control of potentially hazardous food.
Because food temperature control is so critical in assuring food safety all foods establishment must have and must use an accurate thermometer to check food temperatures. Food product thermometers are to be scaled 0—220oF. They must be accurate to +/-2oF. Food workers need to verify that foods are being properly cooled, that they are reheated to 165oF, that they are cooked to the required temperatures, that they are held hot above 140oF, etc. by using a thermometer.
TOXIC ITEMS
8a Improperly stored
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
Separation of cleaners, sanitizers and other chemicals from food, equipment and utensils helps ensure that chemical contamination does not occur. Cleaners, sanitizers and other chemicals must be stored below and away from all food, food preparation areas, warewashing areas, clean equipment and utensils, paper good and single service items.

Dec 14, 2011

FOOD SOURCE
1a Unapproved source
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
All foods used in retail food establishments must be obtained from commercial suppliers that are inspected by health authorities (state or local health departments, USDA, FDA). Foods prepared in private homes are frequently implicated in foodborne outbreaks. Non-commercial kitchens have limited capacity for maintaining food at proper temperatures and due to their small size are conducive to situations that can result in cross contamination. Controlled processing is required for the safe preparation of food for sale to the public.
UTENSILS - SINGLE SERVICE ARTICLES
13a Utensils not provided; used/stored improperly
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
To help prevent contamination of food by workers, utensils must be provided and used to dispense food. Utensils must also be provided for use in all customer self service areas such as salad bars, buffets and for bulk food dispensing.
Utensils that are provided to dispense and serve foods must be stored and handled in a manner that protects the utensil and the food from contamination. Contaminated utensils will contaminate the foods that are being dispensed and served. To prevent possible contamination of food by utensils during pauses in preparation and dispensing , utensils must be stored:
a) in the food with the handle up out of the food,
b) in a running water dipper well,
c) in ice
water or in hot water that is above 140oF,
d) on a clean dry surface if the utensil is cleaned and sanitized once every four hours.
PHYSICAL FACILITIES
14a Plumbing not installed/maintained
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
It is critical that all plumbing fixtures, water and sewer lines in food establishments be maintained in proper working order. Poorly maintained plumbing systems may result in potential heath hazard such as cross connections, the back up of sewage, or leakage. These conditions may directly result in the contamination of food, equipment, utensils or paper goods. They can also adversely affect the ability of food handlers to adequately wash their hands, an establishment’s warewashing operations and increase the potential for cross contamination of food and equipment and utensil.
Toilet rooms and facilities must be of sanitary design and kept clean and in good repair to help prevent contamination of food preparation areas, to motivate employees to maintain a high degree of personal hygiene and to use good sanitary practices. Doors to toilet rooms must be kept closed to help prevent the possible spread of disease-causing microorganisms by flies.

PEST CONTROL
7b Inappropriate pesticide application
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
Effective and approved measures must be taken to control insect, rodents, and other pests that may get into food establishments. Effective pest management includes: a) preventing entry of pests into the establishment by providing tight fitting doors and threshold, keeping outside door closed, and sealing off any cracks or openings in foundations or around utility penetrations. b) Depriving them of food, water and shelter by keeping the premises clean, free of the acclimation of refuse, garbage and food spills. c) Kill what gets in with the use of traps or pesticides. Only approved pesticides, registered for application in food establishments can be applied. All pesticides must be used according to label directions. Rodent baits must be contained and dispensed form closed, tamper proof bait stations. The use of open bait stations or tracking powder pesticides can result in the pesticides being dispersed throughout the food establishment and ultimately contaminating food and food contact surfaces.
FOOD LABELING AND PROTECTION
9b Food unprotected from contamination
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
Freezing prevents microbial growth in foods, but usually does not destroy all microorganisms. Improper thawing provides an opportunity for surviving bacteria to grow to harmful numbers. If the food is then refrozen, significant numbers of bacteria may be preserved in the food.
Disease-causing organisms can contaminate and/or grow in food that is not stored properly. Drips from condensation and drafts of unfiltered air can be sources of microbial contamination for stored foods. Shoes carry contamination onto the floors of food preparation and storage areas. Raw meats and poultry can contaminate cooked and ready to eat foods if stored above these ready to eat items. Even trace amounts of refuse or wastes present in toilet rooms, rooms used for dressing, storing garbage or tools, or rooms housing machinery can become sources of food contamination.
PHYSICAL FACILITIES
14d Lighting inadequate
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
Light levels are specified so that sufficient light is available to enable workers to read labels, identify toxic materials, recognize the condition of food, utensils and other supplies, work safely and to evaluate cleaning. Sufficient light makes the need for cleaning apparent by making any accumulation of food spills and other soil conspicuous. Lights that are shielded, coated or shatter resistant help prevent breakage and contamination of food, clean equipment, utensils and single service items from fragments of glass should a bulb break.

PERSONNEL
2c Hands not washed as needed
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
The hands are particularly important in transmitting foodborne disease-causing organisms. Food employees with dirty hands and/or fingernails may contaminate the food being prepared. Therefore, any activity which may contaminate the hands must be followed by thorough handwashing. Even seemingly healthy employees may serve as reservoirs for disease-causing microorganisms that are transmissible through food. Staphylococci bacteria, for example, can be found on the skin and in the mouth, throat, and nose of many healthy employees. The hands of employees can be contaminated by touching their nose, mouth, hair or other body parts.
PERSONNEL
2g Bare hand contact
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
Touching ready-to-eat foods (i.e. foods that will not go through a further cooking process prior to serving) with bare hands increases the risk of the spread of foodborne illness. Ready-to-eat foods cannot be handled with bare hands but may be handled with gloved hands, tongs, or other utensils.
SANITATION RINSE
4c In place
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
All equipment, utensils and food contact surfaces must be properly washed and then sanitized to minimize food contamination. Washing is the removal of food residue or soil from surfaces. Sanitization is the application of heat or chemicals on cleaned surfaces that results in a 99.999% reduction of disease-causing microorganisms. There are many different types of sanitizers that can be used in food establishments. The most common include: hot water between 165oF and 180oF, chlorine mixed at a concentration of 50 ppm, quaternary ammonia mixed at a concentration of 200 ppm, and iodine mixed at a concentration of 12.5 ppm.
Establishments will often have equipment that needs to be washed and sanitized, but is too large to fit into warewashing sinks or dishmachines, or is not designed to be submerged in water. This equipment must be washed and sanitized “in place”. Surfaces must be washed with a detergent solution to remove food residue, then rinsed free of detergents with clean water and then sanitized with an approved sanitizer.
