Violations:
3080 - Lighting in the storeroom measures at 7 food candles (FC) of light. Provide at least 10 foot candles at a distance of 30 inches from the floor in the walk-in refrigeration units and dry storage areas and in other areas and rooms during periods of cleaning.

Sanitizer solution at a high concentration constitutes a potential toxic contaminant. Mix the solution to a concentration of 200 ppm. The staff mixed a new sanitizer solution and tested the concentration.
Comments:
The facility is old, but in generally good condition. The staff maintains the facility in a very clean state. Staff are knowledgeable about their job duties. They document temperatures for: refrigerators; hot and cold holding; and cooking. Ready-to-eat (RTE) foods are date marked. Employees are observed: washing hands; using barriers when handling RTE foods; washing produce; and date marking foods. In response to prior problems with cold holding salad (the service line does not have a cold table), salad is served from a freestanding pan designed to maintain the product cold: it works very well. This is a great solution.

Violation: 1770 B - Light soilage on the following non-food contact surfaces: utensil drawers. Light staining and scoring noted on the following food contact surfaces: serving trays and bowls. Clean and sanitize all food contact surfaces. Dispose of any scored or stained serving vessels.
Comments:
The temperature of the popcorn chicken was low; however, it had been removed from the hot holding unit not more than 10 minutes ago. Heating and hot holding (in a hot bot) were at proper temperatures. The salad was warm, but had been controlled by staff and out for limited time (maximum of 1 hour and 20 minutes). Leftover salad is sometimes served a second day. This batch was discarded at the end of the feeding period. The staff does a great job date marking all foods, removing damaged cans from dry storage, and documenting refrigeration, heating, hot holding, and receiving temperatures. Sanitizer solution in the 3-compartment sink and wiping cloth bucket were at proper concentrations. The staff was knowledgeable and asked good questions. The manager and I discussed: (1) conditions of the storeroom shelves (which will require painting or replacement soon), (2) removing the hot box from the storeroom, (3) handwashing, as it relates to switching form dirty to clean dishes at the dish machine, and (4) acceptable temperature of quaternary sanitizer in the 3-compartment sink.
