May 03, 2004 (Complaint)


Violations: Comments:
The purpose of today's visit was to conduct a complaint inspection due to potential food-borne ilness complaint received on 4/29/04 by Health Department. Routine inspection of the facility was also done in the same date.
This food facility was listed in the 72-hr food histroy. A delivery of evening meal (4/23/04) of a pizza and a large antipasta salad with ham, cheese and artichok heart was consumed by the complaint and her husband (and daughter). The complaint requested the inspection of this facility.
The following information was collected during my visit:
(1) Discussion with the Certified Food Manager:
Talked with the Certified Food Manager about the complaint recived, and the manager stated that he has not received any complaint from any customer so far.
(2) Employee sick situation:
There are three shift managers working at the kitchen, and additional six drivers working for the delivery of the food. No one has reported sick to the manager so far.
(3) Personnel Hygenic condition:
Inspected the kitchen, walk-ins, hand-sinks, and restrooms. The facility was maintained clean on sight, food personnel had disposable hand gloves and the facility had Hand Wash Sign posted at all the handsinks. However, observed one instance of barehand portioning of cheese on subs during 1.5 hr of observation and had no hair restraint used by a food employee (see cited violation above).
(4) Sale review of 4/23/04

Upon revewing sales receipt of the restaurant of the day, the manager, based on the cumulative sale recipt of the day (4/23/04), made the best estimate of the quatity of suspected meal:
Salad (including Anti-pasta salad w/ham, cheese and artichok) = 8 orders
Pizza = more than 100 orders

(5) Frequency and condition of shipment:
The establishment received shipment from standard company once in a week except for Artichok - which last for 3/4 months from one shipment (a copy of Invoice is attached). Manager stated that Beef, Sausage and Grill Chicken were received frozen and others at or below 41F in a refrigerated truck from the supplier.
(6) Observation of food prepared:

Observation of suspected meal preparation was made at the kitchen. There was no temperature vilations (see above for temp), and observed no cross contamination of the prepared food.

Conclusion:
=========
Due to today's finding and a lack of scientific evidence such as lab tests, to the best of my judgement, there is NO evidence to link this establishment as a source of illness.
Following recommendations have been made at this time:
1) Monitor all employee ilness, personal hygiene, handwashing and glove/hair restraint use.
2) Report any complaint to our department at 703-246-2444.

Comments:
This inspection was a follow-up inspection to verify completed corrections . During yesterday's routine inspection, violation were noted that required corrections within 24 hours.
Observed today was the presence of a certified food manager on premises. Today's manager on duty is certified and has a valid food sanitation certificate . However, I have reminded him to ensure that the manager on duty during yesterday's visit to also obtain his Northern Virginia Food Sanitation Certificate as soon as possible. He was also reminded to ensure that a certified food manager be on premises at all times during the operation of the restaurant.
Other violations were also corrected and were as following: Equipment surfaces have been cleaned properly. Food supplies have been moved away from the back hand sink to prevent contamination by splashing. Also, food containers are now properly covered during storage. The back door is now kept closed . The hand sinks are now cleaned and soap is available at each sink for hand washing.
Continue to maintain the facility in a clean and good sanitary condition at all times. Thank you for your cooperation.
