Score

  • Proper employee beverage or tobacco use
    An employee was eating and drinking while washing dishes. Employee food and beverage should not be consumed in the kitchen, and not while engaging in food handling or utensil cleaning.
  • Floors, walls, ceilings properly constructed, clean, in good repair
    General Comment. Thanks for working on ceiling repairs in the dish room. Overall floor cleaning looks better, but could still use improvement.
  • Non-food contact surfaces clean
    General Equipment cleaning looks better, but some work is still needed in the cabinets and in the cooler at the buffet.
  • Meets illumination requirements; shielded; lighting & ventilation clean & in good repair
    Need to replace several burned out light bulbs throughout the facility. (repeat)
  • Food contact surfaces cleaned & sanitized; approved methods and sanitizers
    Repeat. Many cleaned plates, pans had food debris on them. The sanitizer at the sink and in the bucket was not strong enough, be sure the chemical has fed into the sanitizer dispenser before filling sink or containers. There was also food debris in the sanitizer compartment of the utensil sink. Clean in place equipment needs more thorough cleaning. Examples include the slicer, blender, mixer and tilt kettle.
  • Utensils & equipment properly stored, air-dried, handled
    Repeat. Many pans and some plates were stacked wet. Allow utensils to air dry before stacking.
  • Toilet and lavatory facilities; supplied, properly constructed, clean, good repair, signs provided
    There was no soap at the hand sink for the buffet/omelet station. There was also no soap at the wait station near the buffet.
  • Food protected during storage, handling, display, service & transportation; written notice for clean plates
    There were several open displays of food on the breakfast buffet today (biscuits, gravy, granola, oatmeal toppings, muffins). All foods for customer self service need to be protected behind sneeze guards, or be wrapped.
  • Shellstock tags retained
  • Time as a public health control; procedures & records
  • Consumer advisory provided

  • Dry food stored properly & labeled accordingly
    All of the dry foods in the bakery area need to be kept in covered containers or sealed bags.
  • Non-food contact surfaces clean
    General Comment. Overall cleaning on non-food contact surfaces looked pretty good, but could use some additional work.
  • Insects, rodents, and animals not present
    General Comment. Pest control looks better-observed live cockroach in the Hearn kitchen and the catch basin for the soda nozzles in the Hearn had a couple of fruit flies around them.
  • No cross-connections
    General Comment. The hose for the tilt skillet needs to have a back flow prevention device installed at the water supply.
