Comments:
The purpose of today’s inspection was to conduct a routine inspection. Thank you for accompanying me through the inspection as your participation allows me to clarify information and identify areas where your processes may need further attention or assessment. During the inspection of this establishment it was noted that management WAS NOT aware of the Food Code provision that employees are required to report certain symptoms or diagnosed illnesses to the person in charge. However, the person in charge was able to name the Big Five Foodborne illness which are required to be reported to the Health Department as information was left with the CFM to post. The facility does have an employee health policy and would not allow food workers to work if having symptoms outlined in the employee health handout provided to the CFM DISCONTINUE USE AND REMOVE THE MULTIPLE PROPANE TANKS FROM THE ESTABLISHMENT. THIS MATTER WILL BE REFERRED TO THE FIRE MARSHALL. SEAL EXISTING WATER HEATER DIRECTLY TO THE FLOOR OR INSTALL A LEG KIT ON THE WATER HEATER. FOR MORE INFORMATION: ALL inspections are available for public viewing on the State of Virginia website (www.vdh.virginia.gov). Hot water heater: State Sandblaster 4006-3 Pest Control service: last service 2.13.08 Consumer Advisory: according to the CFM, eventhough hamburgers and cheeseburgers are on the menu, they are only served fully cooked It has been a pleasure to serve you today.

Comments:
This visit was made to conduct a routine inspection. Please review the following comments: 1. All remaining violations must be corrected before food service begins. Facility is not operating at this time. Per the PIC they are awaiting the arrival and installation of the ventless grill. This piece of equipment should arrive within the next 2 weeks. 2. Be sure to monitor all hot/cold potentially hazardous foods. Bacterial growth and/or toxin production can occur if PHF's remain in the temperature "Danger Zone" of 41F-140F too long. 3. During the inspection of this establishment it was noted that management was not aware of the Food Code provision that employees are required to report certain symptoms or diagnosed illnesses to the person in charge. Also, the PIC could not convey knowledge of an employee health policy indicating what symptoms are to be reported and when to exclude/restrict an employee from their duties OR did not have access to a written policy stating what actions are necessary following a report that an employee has certain symptoms are diagnosed illnesses. 4. Professional Pest Control Company services monthly. No activity/evidence noted today. 5. Water heater is same as file, State CSB 526SFEB, 12 KW with NSF sticker. 6. Sanitizer for 3 vat sink is chlorine. Provide a test kit for chlorine to measure the concentration of sanitizing solutions. The testing device is required for two reasons: 1) the use of chemical sanitizers requires minimum concentrations of the sanitizer to ensure sanitization and 2) too much sanitizer could be toxic. 7. It is important that raw meat is stored properly within refrigeration and freezer units to prevent cross contamination. Raw meat should be stored separately from ready to eat foods and from other types of raw meat. If stored on the same shelving unit within refrigerator and freezer units, raw meat should be stored as follows: TOP SHELF: All pre-cooked and ready to eat foods (e.g. vegetables) SECOND SHELF: Raw seafood/eggs/pork THIRD SHELF: Raw beef BOTTOM SHELF: Raw chicken ***Failure to correct and maintain cited violations may result in additional corrective action being taken.*** Note: The PIC, was unsure if all items will be fully cooked. If any shell eggs or raw animal products are to be offered any way other than fully cooked, a consumer advisory will need to be added to the menu along with the disclosure of the products that are offered under cooked.
