Comments:
The purpose of this visit was to conduct a critical procedures inspection. This type of inspection focuses on those risk factor violations that may directly lead to a foodborne illness. NOTES TO THE OPERATOR: 1) For potentially hazardous foods on the prep top (i.e. sliced tomatoes, cheese), do not overfill the pans. Potentially hazardous cold foods must be kept at 41F or less to prevent bacterial growth. 2) There is no asterisk on the menu for the tiramisu (contains raw shell eggs). The assistant chef stated that he would speak with the head chef about possibly using pasteurized eggs. If the decision is to continue using raw shell eggs, then the tiramisu will need to be asterisked. 3) Continue to train employees on and monitor proper handwashing procedures.
