Today I conducted a routine inspection and discussed with the certified food manager the following: 1. Management should reiterate the 5 major risk factors associated with foodborne illness with all staff frequently: Employee health policy, Personal hygiene, Contaminated equipment/utensils, Time/Temperature relationships for food and Unapproved food sources. 2. Management should calibrate the digital food thermometer at least once a week in an ice water bath to 32f to ensure accuracy when taking food temperatures. The thermometer should be washed, rinsed and sanitized before and after each use. 3. Management should change the water at the 3-vat sink and red sanitizer buckets at least every 2 hours or more frequently as needed. Wash in hot, soapy water. Rinse in hot, clean water and Sanitize in 65f-75f water with Quaternary Ammonium at a concentration of 150-400ppm. 4. Management should instruct staff to continually check all hand sinks for soap, warm water, paper towels and hand washing signs. 5. Management should instruct staff to store all single service items like coffee lids inverted while on display. 6. Management should instruct staff to keep all in-use utensils in clean, dry containers between uses. Do not store in buckets with sanitizer. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at 703-246-2444. Thank you. No violation noted during this evaluation. | 01/05/2016 | Routine | |
