Violations: Comments:
This is a routine inspection at this grocery store salad and soup bar. There is apparently only one CFM for this store and he was not on site. Other employees at store today either have expired cards or no cards or do not have cards with them. Since the salad bar prep ends at 2:00 pm there is now no requirement for a CFM, however, there should be several CFMs for this store.

Violations: Comments:
DO NOT let food sit in the “DANGER ZONE” (41F-140F) for extended periods of time. Turkey cubes were found at 47 F and higher in prep room where ambient air temperature was insufficient to maintain food at a safe cold hold temp.
You may not serve donuts from the dispensing krispy kreme shelving unit as fruit flies are abundant inside the unit. They are likely reproducing in drains under compartment sink of bakery. Flies abound in bakery and must be eradicated ASAP. Do not wait any longer to have area treated by contractor. Keep records on site for review.
Verify that water heaters and or boilers are functional with contractor and send work order verifying this fact to fax number above at earliest convenience.
DATEMARKING:
Mark the name and "consume by" date on the container of ready-to-eat (RTE), potentially hazardous food (PHF) at the time of preparation if the food is to be held for more than 24 hours. Similarly, mark a "consume by" date on commercially processed RTE foods at the time the original container is opened. If the food is held at 41F or below the food shall be served or sold within 7 calendar, including the prep/open date. Some harmful bacteria continue to grow even at refrigeration temperatures so limiting the amount of time in storage limits the amount of growth allowed for these bacteria.
HANDWASHING REMINDER:
Instruct food employees to clean their hands and exposed portions of their arms immediately before engaging in food preparation including working with exposed food, clean equipment and utensils, and unwrapped single-service and single-use articles and during food preparation, as often as necessary to remove soil and contamination and to prevent cross contamination when changing task.
