Comments:
Today's inspection was conducted as a follow-up to verify compliance regarding operation of the salad bar in maintaining potentially hazardous food at 41F or below and to also verify temperature of potentially hazardous food on the salad bar. The salad bar has been checked and noted to be operating properly. Temperatures of the foods on the salad bar were checked and observed to be below 41F.
The establishment is in compliance.
Continue to maintain food items on the salad bar at 41F or lower and also continue to maintain the salad bar air /ambient temperature at below 41F. Install a thermometer inside the salad bar so that the ambient temperature can be properly monitored.
Thank you for your cooperation.

This was a routine inspection. Correct all violation immediately. Operator is not handling potentially hazardous food properly for proper cold-holding. Observed deli meat stored at room temperature with no visible evidence of temperature control. Cooked white rice was found stored on serving line with no temperature control..
Certified food manager must ensure that potentially hazardous food is held at 41F or lower or at 135F or higher to prevent the growth of harmful bacterial and foodborne illness.
The salad bar is not being operated properly. The restaurant does not produce sufficient ice from the small available ice machine to fill-up the large salad bar for proper cold-holding of food.
This unit need to be replaced with a refrigerated salad bar that is capable of maintaining food at 41F or lower. The new salad bar must be approved by our office prior to installation.
