Comments:
This is a Critical Procedure Inspection where the emphasis is on those risk factors that most directly affect the safe and sanitary preparation and service of food. Other less critical items, if observed, are not mentioned in this report but are brought to the food manager's attention for correction. 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 (PIC). Also, the PIC/CFM 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 or diagnosed illnesses. As discussed with the CFM, employees shall be RESTRICTED from working in a food service establishment when they are experiencing symptoms of sore throat, fever, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and jaundice. Until the employee obtains documentation from a medical professional that he/she is no longer experiencing those symptoms may they return to work. If an employee has been diagnosed with and/or been in contact with someone who has been diagnosed with Salmonella, Shigella, E.Coli, and Hepatitis A they are EXCLUDED from working in the food service establishment until laboratory tests have confirmed they are no longer carriers of the disease. ALL critical and easily correctable non-critical violations shall be corrected immediately. If any questions arise, please contact me at the telephone number provided. REMINDERS: 1. Employees shall wash their hands frequently at hand sinks using warm water and soap. 2. Employees shall handle food properly using utensils and/or wearing disposable gloves that are changed often. 3. Monitor food, refrigeration and freezer temperatures. Use your calibrated thermometers to ensure food is held at 41F or below and 140F or above. 4. Continue to inspect canned food deliveries and segregate any dented cans from general storage. 5. Maintain pest control services as needed. Keep records of all services provided. 6. Maintain grease trap and hood filter cleanings on a regular basis. Keep records of all cleanings performed. 7. Discuss with your employees illnesses, diseases, and symptoms that would prevent them from coming to work (e.g. vomiting, diarrhea, fever, E.Coli, Salmonella, etc.). 8. Properly date mark food items with the “use by” date if held beyond 24 hours. 9. Contact the Health Department before you make any changes, additions, and/or renovations to the establishment. 10.

May 18, 2005 (Complaint)
Comments:
The purpose of today's visit was to conduct a complaint inspection due to a potential food-borne illness complaint received by our department today 5-16-05. The complaint was in regard to two individuals became ill with severe gastrointestinal symptoms four hours after eating food bought from this establishment and eaten at about 4:15 pm on 5-15-05. The suspect foods were egg rolls and aw noodle dish (egg noodle per complainant) containing vegetables, meat, shrimp and fried tofu. HACCP type reviews were made of the suspect food items consumed by the group which are listed in this report. The managers were not aware of the complaint prior to this visit. No other complaints have been received by the restaurant from this or subsequent dates. The manager indicated that no employees have been ill recently but indicated that this restaurant does not, to his knowledge, have a written sick policy indicating how to properly manage cases of illness of staff members. Employees were wearing hats and gloves when appropriate for handling ready to eat foods. All hand sinks were found to be equipped with disposable towels and soap. There was no formal food safety training program presented to the employees. Suspect foods reviewed: Deep fried "egg" rolls containing shrimp, mushroom, pork, vegetables, sugar, salt, MSG Egg Noodle dish containing carrots, taro root, mushroom, pork, shrimp and tofu. Note the restaurant sells a variety of similar products and exact identification of the suspect food may not be possible except by the complainants. HACCP reviews: Egg noodle dish: The pork is received fresh and is stored in the walk-in refrigerator for about 24 hours before preparation. The pork is cut into smaller portions before preparation. Today’s observation indicated that several boxes of pork were out for cutting and the pork is not put away immediately after cutting. This would result in exposure to temperatures above the required 41 F for longer than necessary. The pork is marinated with salt, sugar and tomato sauce for up to a day. The shrimp is received frozen and according to the manager thawed in the refrigerator or under running water at less than 70 F. This could not be confirmed. The mushroom is in dry condition in bags and is hydrated during preparation. The carrots and taro are received fresh and cut and cleaned before preparation. Tofu is purchased in the local market but the manager could not provide the operators name. The meat, shrimp and vegetables are boiled. Dry noodles received in packaging. The resulting food ingredients are boiled, according to the manager and the tofu is fried. The food is combined with the noodles and wrapped for sale. It is customary for such warm entrees to be offered as a retail items on non-refrigerated display. These items are considered for time as a control rather than temperature. The normal limit is 4 hours from leaving temperature control, at which time if not sold, they must be discarded. These items as retail items are under the control of the Virginia Department of Agriculture and there should be a formal agreement between the establishment and the agency and items are to be properly marked with dates and time. Items observed today had a five hour rather than a four hour time interval. Egg rolls: The egg rolls are made from similar ingredients. The ingredients are mixed and then stored in the freezer for up to 3 days and used as needed. They are thawed as needed and rolled into the finished egg roll wrappers over a short period of time of less than an hour. The rolls are deep fried and then placed on display unwrapped in a protected area with other items. At the time of the inspection there were no date and time markers and there is no formal agreement to use time as a control. The rolls were found to be at 107 F and nearby meatballs were at 72 F. Cultural custom favors maintaining some foods at temperatures that are neither colder than the required 41 F nor as hot as the required 140 F. For this reason time as a control is favored by some establishments for some items. At this time there is not existing agreement with the health department and the exception is not usually granted before evaluation is made of the request. The temperatures and display time for the food in question is not known. A routine inspection of the facility was conducted and though there were several deficiencies noted the overall appearance of the kitchen and preparation area was that the kitchen is well kept with clean food contact surfaces by a concerned manager. Holding temperature for items other than those offered at the questionable temperatures was satisfactory. Storage and use of toxic cleaners and sanitizers was adequate. Equipment and utensils are washed and sanitized in the three vat sink and some items are stored on the floor. The manager indicated that there had been no reported illnesses during the time of the incident. It is not, at this time, if the food was eaten immediately after purchase or if consumed at a later time This is a preliminary field evaluations of factors which might relate to the potential complaint of possible illness from eating at this restaurant and alone do not provide sufficient information to draw any conclusions at this time as to whether this restaurant is the source of the reported illnesses. Further investigation of this incident may be necessary. A routine inspection of this establishment was made in conjunction with this complaint.

Comments:
This routine inspection was conducted in conjunction with a complaint investigation for a possible food borne illness. Foods in this establishment are sometimes presented and maintained at temperatures that are either or both below the required hot holding temperature or above the required cold holding temperature. This is mainly due to apparent customer preference and cultural custom. This practice does not provide adequate protection of the food and may be a contributing factor in the possible illness of two customers. Foods must be kept at either of the required holding temperatures unless it is not possible to do so. If it is not possible time as a control may be considered if approved by the health department after review of the situation and entry into a written agreement for certain foods. Several retail items are offered on a time rather than temperature method and there must be a formal agreement with the Virginia Department of Agriculture and date and time markings must be accurate and properly used. Contact the Department of Agriculture to seek such an agreement. Make an attempt to keep potentially hazardous foods at one of the required temperatures. Do not maintain any such food at temperatures between these required temperatures unless a formal written agreement with the Health Department is in effect
