Violations: Comments:
The purpose of this visit was to conduct a routine inspection. The following information is provided to help the establishment in better food safety practices.
The following have been identified as risk factors that contribute to foodborne illnesses:
1. Improper Holding Temperatures
2. Inadequate Cooking
3. Contaminated Equipment
4. Food from Unsafe Sources
5. Poor Personal Hygiene
However, the following interventions can be made to protect public health:
1. Demonstration of Knowledge
2. Employee Health Controls
3. Hands as a Vehicle of Contamination
4. Time and Temperature Relationships
5. Consumer Advisory
It is essential that the person in charge utilize Active Managerial Control in the facility. This is intentional actions taken by the person-in-charge/CFM to attain control over foodborne illness risk factors. It embodies a preventive rather than reactive approach to food safety through a continuous system of monitoring and verification.
Employee Health Controls
Ensure that all employees, including management, understand reporting, restriction, and exclusion in regards to reportable symptoms (Vomiting, Diarrhea, Jaundice, and/or a sore throat with Fever) and reportable diagnosis (Norovirus, Hepatitis A virus, Shigella spp., E. coli, and/or Salmonella typhi).
Time and Temperature Relationships
Holding Temperatures:
Hot Holding—135oF or above
Cold Holding—41oF or below
Date Marking:
Label all ready-to-eat foods, whether prepared on site or commercially processed, with a “consume by” date if the product is to be held for more than 24 hours. The “consume by” date is not to exceed 7 calendar days when the foods are being kept at 41oF or below.
All inspections are available for public viewing on the State of Virginia website (www.vdh.virginia.gov). If you have any questions or comments, please call (703) 246-2444.

Applicable Consumer Advisory: Yes

October 02, 2006 (Critical Procedures)


Violations: Comments:
The purpose of this visit was to conduct a critical procedures inspection.
Review the Big 5 Food-borne Illnesses (Salmonella, E.Coli, Shigella, Hepatitis A, and Norovirus) and the symptoms associated with these illnesses (diarrhea, vomiting, fever and/or jaundice). Ensure that all employees, including management, understand reporting, restriction, and exclusion.
COOKING, REHEATING & HOLDING TEMPERATURES:
Review cooking, reheating, and holding temperatures with food service employees
COOKING: Poultry 165F; Ground Beef & Comminuted Meats 155F; Steaks, Seafood, Pork, and Raw Shell Eggs 145F
REHEATING: PHFs prepared on site 165F, Commercially Processed Foods 140F
HOLDING: Hot 135F+, Cold 41F-
DO NOT let food sit in the “DANGER ZONE” (41F-135F) for extended periods of time.
FOOD STORAGE:
Food shall be stored in the refrigeration and freezer units according to cook temperature to prevent contamination. Raw food products requiring higher cook temperatures shall be stored below raw food products requiring lower cook temperatures.
TOP SHELF – 145F Whole Intact Steaks, Pork, Seafood, Raw Shell Eggs
MIDDLE SHELF – 155F Raw Ground Beef, Sausage, & Other Comminuted Meats
BOTTOM SHELF – 165F Raw Poultry
It is recommended that raw animal products be stored completely separate from raw vegetables, cooked animal products and other non-animal products, such as noodles & rice. If these foods are not stored on a separate shelf from the above listed raw animal products they must be stored above all raw animal products.
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.
Ensure all food employees clean their hands and exposed portions of their arms with a cleaning compound in a lavatory by vigorously rubbing together the surfaces of their lathered hands and warms for at least 20 seconds and thoroughly rinsing with clean water.
Always wear gloves or use other suitable utensils such as, tongs or deli tissue, when handling ready-to-eat food. Minimize bare hand contact with non-ready-to-eat food as well.
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.
COOLING:
Cool potentially hazardous foods from 135F to 70F within 2 hours and from 70F to 41F or below within 4 hours. A longer time for cooling allows an ideal situation for bacterial growth. This has been shown to be the major contributing factor in many foodborne illnesses.
Do not allow food to cool at room temperature. When the temperature of hot food falls below 140F it must be under temperature control to prevent bacterial growth.
Critical Violations shall be corrected within 10 days.
Non-Critical Violations shall be corrected within 90 days.
FOR MORE INFORMATION:
ALL inspections are available for public viewing on the State of Virginia website (www.vdh.virginia.gov).
If you have any questions or would like additional information on the routine inspection please call me (703) 246-2444.
