  • Accurate thermometers not available or used to evaluate refrigerated or heated storage temperatures

  • Non food contact surfaces of equipment not clean
  • Insects, rodents present
10/13/2015InspectionComment: Reinspection involved evaluating use of food probe thermometer to ensure proper cold holding of food requiring time /temperature control for safety, overall sanitation of facility and determining if there is improper disposal of cooking oil as per directive by supervisor. Operator acquired digital food probe thermometer, sanitizer test strips were present and sanitizer had proper concentration; hand wash station was accessable, equipped and ready to use; all food items located in walkin cooler were covered and stored in food grade containers; all food items requiring time/temperature control for safety were properly hot and cold held. Although food workers immediately started cleaning upon my arrival, the facility was free of clutter for easy cleaning. The following requirements of the June 24, 2015 Stipulation Agreement were not met: 1. Two people from facility to be ServSafe Certified by July 16, 2015. the CCHD has received only one certificate. 2. Also, the last time a pest control proffessional had been to facility was on 8/4/15 and there was clear evidence of the presence of rodents observed during inspection. A reinspection will occur before the end of the year.
  • Garbage storage areas not properly constructed or maintained, creating a nuisance
  • Insects, rodents present
  • Food contact surfaces not washed, rinsed and sanitized after each use and following any time of operations when contamination may have occurred
  • Floors, walls, ceilings, not smooth, properly constructed, in disrepair, dirty surfaces
  • Manual facilities inadequate, technique incorrect; mechanical facilities not operated in accordance with manufacturer's instructions
  • Non food contact surfaces of equipment not clean
  • Non-food contact surfaces and equipment are improperly designed, constructed, installed, maintained (equipment not readily accessible for cleaning, surface not smooth finish)
07/31/2015Re-InspectionComment: Reinspection involved verifying line cooler was properly maintaining cold holding 45 F or less. Unit was operating properly and operator kept food probe thermometer in food item for constant cold hold monitoring. Re-inspection also involved verifying items listed in Stipulation Agreement. Item #6 in Stip Agreement referencing general cleaning and removal of unused, unneccessary items from premisis was 70% acheived. However, routine daily cleaning of work surfaces and equipment is still not complete and there was some debris observed outside rear door way. Item#7 Thermometer Use; based on the improper cold holding violation cited during the 7/30/15 inspection indicates, this is still an issue. Operator stated he would acquire digital food probe thermometer. Item A. or #9 Food safety training be completed by two employees; The lack of using food thermometer, improper sanitizer concentration and understanding the wash, rinse and sanitize process of food contact surfaces indicates food safety pricinciples are not being applied. Operator has not yet provided Serv Safe Certificate to Health Department. Facility appeared cleaner than in past inspections, with less nonfunctional items but, Food Service Sanitary Code Subpart 14-1 requirements are still not fully being met.
  • Critical: Potentially hazardous foods are not stored under refrigeration except during necessary preparation or approved precooling procedures (room temperature storage).
  • Wiping cloths dirty, not stored properly in sanitizing solutions
  • Critical: Enough refrigerated storage equipment is not present, properly designed, maintained or operated so that all potentially hazardous foods are cooled properly and stored below 45oF as required.
  • Critical: Accurate thermometers not available or used to evaluate potentially hazardous food temperatures during cooking, cooling, reheating and holding.
  • Manual facilities inadequate, technique incorrect; mechanical facilities not operated in accordance with manufacturer's instructions

  • Floors, walls, ceilings, not smooth, properly constructed, in disrepair, dirty surfaces
07/30/2015Re-InspectionFacility appeared to be much cleaner and sanitary as compared to past inspections. However, understanding the fundamentals of food safety (thermometer use, sanitizer and proper dishwashing) is not evident. Further education maybe required. Operator must call inspector once line cooler is properly cold holding below 45F. Inspector spoke to Louie the refrigeration repair guy who should arive either this afternoon or in the morning to work on unit. In addition to verifying proper cold holding of subject line cooler, inspector will also determine what items listed in Stipulation Agreement have or have not been addressed by operator.
