June 11, 2009 (Critical Procedures)


Violations: Comments:
The purpose of this visit was to conduct a critical procedures inspection.
In addition to the above, please correct the following -
1. Reduce harborage conditions for roaches by sealing openings from outside (at back door), minimize use of cardboard boxes, and deep clean more frequently.
2. Cardboard boxes should not be used to store chicken. You may use clean paper towels or another clean material to absorb grease.
3. Obtain more durable food containers. They should be easily cleanable and facilitate cooling. Ex. metal pans.
4. Cooling methods need to be improved. I recommend placing cooked chicken on metal baking sheets and placing in walk-in unit.
5. Facility needs another deep cleaning. Clean inside refrigerators, door handles, corners, behind cook line.
I will return after July 1st to monitor cooling and cleanliness of facility. I recommend that you purchase metal pans to facilitate cooling by that time.
Pest control service needs to come within 48 hours. Please fax invoice to me by Wednesday. Ask for advice from pest applicator about ways to reduce the recurrence of roaches.
Thank you.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

December 01, 2008 (Follow-up)


Violation: 4-101.11(B) - Storing chicken in cardboard box.

October 29, 2008 (Follow-up)


Violations: Comments:
The purpose of this visit was to reopen the facility due to a closure two days ago because of roaches present.
The facility followed the steps in order to reopen.
They cleaned the facility, pest control came yesterday morning, waited 6 hours per order of pest management company, and then cleaned again.
There is no documentation of pest control, however I spoke with the pest management company. They said they would come on Tuesday morning.
Upon inspection of flour bin where roaches were originally found, there were 2 baby roaches. They volunteered to clean this bin again. If any other roaches are seen today, please contact me. We will discuss how to proceed with pest control. Also, a live bird was seen in the dining room. Please remove as soon as possible.
Maintain cleanliness in addition to cleaning other areas mentioned above for roach prevention.
Training also conducted on cooling.
The facility may now reopen.
I will return in one month to observe cleanliness and pest control.
Thank you.

October 27, 2008 (Routine)

June 23, 2008 (Follow-up)

Comments:
This is a followup inspection at this restaurant after a complaint inspection last week. Pest control service visited and treated on 6/18/08.
Manager has removed all excess materials (candy, newspapers, etc) from front area, put covers on all food items (fortune cookies, candies) and cleaned the storage shelving and floors. He said there are no holes in the wall behind the shelving. Violation confirmed and abated. Thank you.
Please continue to have regular pest control service as well as cleaning of facilities.

August 21, 2007 (Routine)


Violations: Comments:
This is a routine inspection at this full service restaurant. No Consumer Advisory is needed. There are two CFMs. Water heater is a Rheem Ruud G-91-200-1, 199,900 BTU. Dishwasher Autochlor A-4. Pest control monthly; grease filters changed monthly. grease trap cleaned by employees each month.
Priority for correction:
1. Store all foods either hot or cold. Do not leave containers of rice, egg rolls, cooked chicken etc at the cook line. They must be held hot or cold
2. Improve methods of cooling; large containers of egg rolls cannot cool adequately in racks.
Strongly recommend use of the rolling rack to hold trays of egg rolls, sliced and chopped meats and poultry in the walkin. It will allow storage of more food and help cool foods faster.

This is a followup inspection at this restaurant. All violations have been corrected as requested. Thank you.

March 12, 2007 (Complaint)


Violations: Comments:
This is a complaint inspection at this restaurant. Customer stated that she found a tissue or napkin in her order. The manager was aware of the complaint. I inspected the kitchen to see if the complaint can be confirmed. A routine inspection was done a week ago so that is not required today. During the inspection I did note several violations in the kitchen, which are cited above.
Linen napkins are used in the kitchen, paper towels are stored separately from food. Although it is possible that a tissue or paper napkin or towel could have fallen into the food I did not see anything to verify this. I cannot confirm the complaint; close the complaint.

March 05, 2007 (Routine)

October 06, 2005 (Follow-up)


Violations: Comments:
The purpose of this visit was to conduct a follow-up inspection to the routine inspection conducted on September 26, 2005.
The CFM has made an effort to correct violations cited on September 26, 2005. The CFM showed evidence that he has translated information on employee health and the major 5 foodborne illnesses into Chinese so that employees are aware of reporting requirements. Many noncritical violations have been corrected or improved. Many critical violations have been improved, but not completely corrected. The CFM must work to correct all outstanding violations immediately and maintain these corrections. The CFM has been notified that failure to correct critical violations will results in enforcement action that can lead to permit revocation. Over the next 3 months the CFM must work to improve food safety in the following areas:
A) FOOD STORAGE AND CROSS CONTAMINATION
1. In the cook line refrigerators store all raw chicken, pork, beef, seafood, and eggs on the bottom shelves of the units.
2. In the walk-in refrigerator and freezer designate one side of each unit for storage of raw animal products. Store raw chicken BELOW raw pork and beef. Store raw seafood BELOW raw pork and beef. Store all other foods, such as rice, noodles, vegetables, etc., SEPARATE from raw animal foods.
3. Raw animal foods SHALL NOT be prepared anywhere near vegetables or cooked foods.
B) HOT HOLDING
1. Hot hold food at 140F or above.
2. If food, such as general tso's chicken, sweet and sour pork, fried rice, or egg rolls are cooked and then reheated for immediate service such foods CANNOT and SHALL NOT be stored at room temperature between cooking and reheating. Food shall be cooled after cooked until it is reheated. Please review cooling requirements listed below.
COOLING:
Cool potentially hazardous foods from 140F 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. Cool foods by using the following methods:
(1) Placing food in shallow pans;
(2) Separate food into smaller, thinner portions;
(3) Use rapid chill cooling equipment;
(4) Stir the food in a container placed in an ice water bath;
(5) Use containers that facilitate heat transfer (metal);
(6) Add ice as an ingredient;
(7) Cover food loosely while cooling to facilitate air transfer; or
(8) Any other method that can effectively accomplish cooling.
Please call me with any questions.

Violations: Comments:
The purpose of this visit was to conduct a routine inspection.
Many violations were observed today. A follow-up inspection will be conducted in approximately 2 weeks on Friday, October 7, 2005. Please review this report carefully and contact me with any questions prior to the follow-up inspection. All violations shall be corrected at the time of the follow-up inspection.
The physical facility and the equipment located in the facility are in need of cleaning. Thoroughly clean all areas of the establishment. The most recent pest control report indicates that rodent and insect activity was observed. The pest control technician also noted that all physical damaged, such as holes in the walls, must be repaired and that food debris must be removed from the facility.
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.
1st shelf (bottom): 165F Raw Poultry
2nd shelf: 155F Raw, Marinated Beef and Pork
3rd shelf: 145F Raw Seafood, Raw Shell Eggs
4th shelf: Raw, unwashed produce
5th shelf: Ready-to-eat foods (e.g. washed vegetables, cooked foods)
DATEMARKING:

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.
EMPLOYEE HEALTH:
Review the Big 5 Food-borne Illnesses (Salmonella, E.Coli, Shigella, Hepatitis A, and Norovirus) and the symptoms associated with these illnesses (diarrhea, vomiting, severe stomach cramps and/or jaundice) with employees. Ensure that all employees, including management, understand reporting, restriction, and exclusion. Supplemental information has been provided to guide the CFM in developing an employee health policy.

March 07, 2005 (Critical Procedures)


Violations: Comments:
The purpose of this visit was to conduct a critical procedures inspection. The critical procedures inspection focuses less on the condition of the physical facilities and more on employee health and hygiene, food-borne illnesses (FBIs), risk factors for FBIs, and the knowledge of the person in charge (PIC) regarding these issues.
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. 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 are diagnosed illnesses.
CFM must start taking receiving temperatures of raw meat products when the products are delivered. Take a temperature and record it with the invoice that accompanies the delivery.
FOOD STORAGE:
The establishment has improved in this capacity since the last routine inspection. Continue to work on seperating raw meat food products from other food products during storage and preparation. This applies to the walk-in freezer as well.
Store food 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.
BOTTOM SHELF – 165F Raw Poultry
MIDDLE SHELF – 155F Raw Ground Beef, Sausage
TOP SHELF – 145F Whole Intact Steaks, Pork, Seafood, Raw Shell Eggs
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.
Do not touch ready to eat foods with bare hands. Use tongs or disposable gloves when handling ready to eat food. Minimize bare hand contact with non-ready to eat (uncooked) food as well. ALWAYS WASH HANDS THOROUGHLY AFTER HANDLING RAW MEATS.
If you have any questions or would like additional information on the critical procedures inspection please call me.

Violations: Comments:
The purpose of this visit was to conduct a routine inspection.
Large quantities of whole, raw chickens are delivered two times per week, Tuesdays and Thursdays, at 11:00 AM. The chickens are delivered on ice in cardboard boxes. The chickens are prepared immediately by gutting and slicing and are then placed in the walk-in cooler. The total preparation time is between 2 and 2.5 hours. The chickens are prepared on NSF approved prep tables, which are lined with linen clothes. Discontinue the use of the linen clothes as they retain harmful bacteria. Use sanitizer towels to sanitize the food prep surfaces immediately before preparing the raw chicken. When the chickens have been prepared, sanitize the prep surfaces again. Employees do not use gloves when preparing the raw chickens. Employees must wash their hands vigorously with soap and hot water and then dry their hands with PAPER towels after engaging in chicken preparation and before leaving the chicken prep area.
The CFM set up sanitizer buckets containing small towels during the inspection. Maintain the concentration of this sanitizer between 50 and 100 PPM. Use the towels to clean and sanitize all prep surfaces in the kitchen throughout the day, especially the surfaces contaminated by raw meat.
A critical item inspection will be conducted in approximately 2 months to ensure that all violations cited today have been corrected. At this time employee hygiene, specifically handwashing practices, will be thoroughly evaluated.

The chickens are prepared on NSF approved prep tables, which are lined with linen clothes. Discontinue the use of the linen clothes as they retain harmful bacteria. Use sanitizer towels to sanitize the food prep surfaces immediately before preparing the raw chicken. When the chickens have been prepared, sanitize the prep surfaces again. Employees do not use gloves when preparing the raw chickens. Employees must wash their hands vigorously with soap and hot water and then dry their hands with PAPER towels after engaging in chicken preparation and before leaving the chicken prep area.
The CFM set up sanitizer buckets containing small towels during the inspection. Maintain the concentration of this sanitizer between 50 and 100 PPM. Use the towels to clean and sanitize all prep surfaces in the kitchen throughout the day, especially the surfaces contaminated by raw meat.
A critical item inspection will be conducted in approximately 2 months to ensure that all violations cited today have been corrected. At this time employee hygiene, specifically handwashing practices, will be thoroughly evaluated.
