Inspection date

Type

Comments
  • Non food contact surfaces of equipment not clean
  • In use food dispensing utensils improperly stored
  • Food not protected during storage, preparation, display, transportation and service, from potential sources of contamination (e.g., food uncovered, mislabeled, stored on floor, missing or inadequate sneeze guards, food containers double stacked)
  • Non-food contact surfaces and equipment are improperly designed, constructed, installed, maintained (equipment not readily accessible for cleaning, surface not smooth finish)
  • Miscellaneous, Economic Violation, Choking Poster, Training.
  • Floors, walls, ceilings, not smooth, properly constructed, in disrepair, dirty surfaces
  • Toilet facilities inadequate, inconvenient, dirty, in disrepair, toilet paper missing, not self-closing doors, missing hand wash signs
  • Accurate thermometers not available or used to evaluate refrigerated or heated storage temperatures
 02/07/2016InspectionFood temperatures measured were all within acceptable range.
  • Critical: Commercially processed precooked potentially hazardous foods are not heated to 140oF or above within two hours.
  • Adequate, leakproof, non-absorbent, vermin-proof, covered containers not provided where needed
  • Critical: Cooked or prepared foods are subject to cross-contamination from raw foods.
  • Food not protected during storage, preparation, display, transportation and service, from potential sources of contamination (e.g., food uncovered, mislabeled, stored on floor, missing or inadequate sneeze guards, food containers double stacked)
 01/23/2015InspectionEducation was provided regarding monitoring of food temperatures during cooking and ensuring that potentially hazardous foods (such as the Buffalo cheese soup and precooked hamburger) are cooked to 140 deg. F or above. Operator and volunteers were advised that crock-pots are not good sources for cooking of foods to at least 140 deg. F or above within two hours; ovens and microwaves can achieve this temp. within the two hours. Foods were not discarded during inspection because foods were within the two hour time limit to raise the temp. above 140 (which they did once cooked in oven/on stove). Revised report.
  • Lighting and ventilation inadequate, fixtures not shielded, dirty ventilation hoods, ductwork, filters, exhaust fans
  • Manual facilities inadequate, technique incorrect; mechanical facilities not operated in accordance with manufacturer's instructions
 02/07/2014InspectionFood temperatures measured with the DOH thermocouple: Taco meat 144 degrees F. Hot dogs 158 degrees F & hamburger 161 degrees F. Good. Recommend upgrading to using a digital or thermocouple thermometer to measure the internal temperatures of hot & cold foods. Recommend determining the proper ratio of water mixed with the sanitizer that the facility uses to be between 50 & 200 ppm and post it for standardization since many different people work the concession stand. Thank you !

  • Miscellaneous, Economic Violation, Choking Poster, Training.
  • Food contact surfaces not washed, rinsed and sanitized after each use and following any time of operations when contamination may have occurred
