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
Food shall be stored in the refrigeration and freezer units according to cook temperature to prevent contamination:
Top Shelving—Raw Shell Eggs, Steak, Seafood, and Pork—145oF
Middle Shelving—Beef and Comminuted Meats—155oF
Bottom Shelving—Poultry and Stuffed Foods—165oF
Separate raw animal products from cooked foods, raw vegetables, and other non-animal products either by separate shelving or by storing above listed raw animal products.
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.

September 26, 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.

ALL inspections are available for public viewing on the State of Virginia website (www.vdh.virginia.gov).

April 14, 2005 (Complaint)


Violation: 3-501.16B - Corrected During Inspection Critical Repeat Chicken (DPC-47F) cold holding at improper temperatures.
Discard the food and ensure that potentially hazardous foods for cold holding are maintained at 41F (45F) or less to inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria.Cold hold potentially hazardous food at 41F (45F) or less to inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria.Relocate food to a refrigeration unit that is capable of maintaining food storage at 41F (45F) or less. Note: HACCP guidelines recommend discard of potentially hazardous food items found stored at 70F or above for 2 or more hours.
Comments:
This inspection is the result of a potential foodborne illness. The complainant stated that they had eaten a grilled chicken salad at this facility. A HACCP-based inspection following the flow of the chicken through the entire process was conducted.
The chicken (Tyson Chicken Breast Tenderpress) is recieved frozen and placed in the walkin freezer at 12F. It is then taken out and thawed in the walkin cooler (40F) at 29F. Once the chicken has been thawed, it is transfered to the Delfield prep cooler (42F) where it is held until placed on the grill. The chicken in the prep cooler was observed at 47F. The manager removed the chicken and properly cooled it down. The chicken was replaced by with fresh chicken at the proper temperatures. Once the chicken is grilled, it is placed in a hot hold bath and kept at 144F until chopped and served on top of salad. At the time of the inspection there was not enough evidence that would support or deny the validity of the complaint.

February 15, 2005 (Complaint)

Comments:
This inspection is the result of a complaint recieved February 15, 2005. The complainant stated that there was "unsanitary conditions at the food establishment" and that "both the refrigerators are broken". A routine inspection was conducted on February 15, 2005 in conjunction with the complaint. (see report dated February 15, 2005 for further details) Observed several temperature deficiencies along the grill line. All the food was removed from the refrigeration and the units were turned down to proper temperatures. Observed minor conditions for cleaning during the inspection but nothing that would justify unsanitary conditions.

February 15, 2005 (Complaint)

Comments:
This inspection is the result of a complaint recieved February 15, 2005. The complainant stated that there was "unsanitary conditions at the food establishment" and that "both the refrigerators are broken". A routine inspection was conducted on February 15, 2005 in conjunction with the complaint. (see report dated February 15, 2005 for further details) Observed several temperature deficiencies along the grill line. All the food was removed from the refrigeration and the units were turned down to proper temperatures. Observed minor conditions for cleaning during the inspection but nothing that would justify unsanitary conditions.

November 24, 2004 (Routine)


Violations: Comments:

This visit was made to conduct a routine inspection. Please review the following comments:
All critical violations were corrected during the inspection.
All remaining violations must be corrected before the next routine inspection.
Be sure to monitor all hot/cold potentially hazardous foods. Bacterial growth and/or toxin production can occur if PHF's remain in the temperature "Danger Zone" of 41F-140F too long.
Train employees on the importance of handwashing. Effective handwashing is essential for minimizing the likelihood of the hands becoming a vehicle of cross contamination. Increase employee handwashing frequency
