There are 3 other restaurants in this strip center who use the grease barrel; it is emptied quarterly. There was no grease in the parking lot today; the owner called a company who steam cleaned the parking lot yesterday. Therefore, based on the pictures of the grease in the parking on 7-2-06, the complaint was confirmed. However, as of yesterday, the complaint was corrected.
June 30, 2006 (Complaint)
Comments:
This inspection is an investigation of a complaint regarding improper disposal of liquid waste at the back of the restaurant. The complainant stated that containers of oil/grease over flowing or spilled were noted outside at the back of the restaurant. The complaint has been discussed with the certified food manager who indicated that she was not aware of the condition reported by the complainant. The exterior area at the back of the restaurant was inspected today but no over flowing grease was found. One empty 5-gallon container was noted in the area and the area showed no evidence of grease / oil spillage . Adjacent food service establishment was also checked and again no evidence of grease spillage was found. The area at the back of the two food service establishment/restaurants was very clean. This complaint could not be confirmed. The complaint was not justified base on today's findings. Even though the complaint was not justified, I have advised manager to ensure that grease containers are tightly covered to prevent spills and access to animals.
