A discussion was held about the catering for the vessel Cherry Blossom. the above observations were discussed with management. The gaining of the control of the walk-in refrigeration temperatures was a welcomed finding, as were the accurate temperature charts for managing temperatures.

November 13, 2008 (Follow-up)

Comments:
This follow-up inspection revealed that the repairs to the refrigeration equipment was successsful and temperatures of potentially hazardsous foods in the main walk-in refrigerator were adequate. Additionally, a temperature log had been implemented and showed that temperatures taken twice/day over the last several weeks were adequate. The facility is using a standard block of butter to assess ongoing temperatures in this refrigeration unit. The repairs were said to have included cleaning of fans, addition of freon and tweaking of controls. The floor of the walk-in appeared dry druing this visit. Other refrigeration units were also worked on during the visits by the refrigeration repairmen. Failure to maintain these adequate temperatures in the future could result in administrative fines, meetings or hearings.

Violations: Comments:
The main walk-in refrigerator was again holding potentilly hazardous foods at temperatures above 41 degrees F. A photo inventory of those foods was taken and is attached. Several foods for which documents were available showing a delivery that day were allowed to be recooled or refrozen and kept. Other foods were allowed to be reheated to above 165 with records kept and cooled back down within 4-6 hours. Other foods that had been out of temperature for extended times were to be voluntarily thrown out. Problems with this main walk-in refrigerator have been ongoing and critical, and promised corrections have not been permanent. A more stringent plan of action will be laid out for AHD over the next few days. Th eabove observations were discussed with the general manager and owner.

August 07, 2008 (Follow-up)


Violations: Comments:
This inspection was a follow-up to the previous one where significant temperature violations were oberved in the walk-in refrigerator again. While there were still some temperature problems, this time they were limited to open-top units and not to the main walk-in refrigerator. Mr. Bill Blackburn, GM has been manually adjusting the thermostat and keeping the refrigeration operation between freeze-up and cold-running. The management provided me with a copy of a deposit sheet from Downunder Services for the installation of a new evaporator package for the walk-in for $2500. I was accompanied on this inspection by David Weber.

August 05, 2008 (Routine)


Violations: Comments:
The temperatures of foods in the main walk-in refrigerator are an often repeated violation. Mr. Blackburn was trying to get the refrigeration units powering this refrigerator to be replaced. A followup will be made in several days to check temporary measures and to see if major repairs are going to be made.. otherwide repeat tickets will be written for the tenmperature violations. The above observations were discussed with the manager.

Visited the establishment to conduct a foodborne complaint. Common foods eatern by complainants were hush puppies and water. Onset time of symptoms were 11-19 hours with symptoms of diarrhea and/or headache. Suspected norovirus. Spoke with the manager (Mrs. Worsham) and found the following information:
1. No sick employee during the last 2 weeks. No other foodborne complaints.
2. Handwashing policy is in place. However, handwashing signages were not posted at handsinks.
Manager agreed to print out handwashing signage on handsinks.
3. Observed the following:
- Paper towel rack is extremely soiled on the exterior. Clean up.
- Dishwasher was sanitizing at rinse temp of 180F. Good condition.
- All employees were handling RTE foods with gloves on.
- Cutting boards were scored.
- Shelves in Walkin cooler soiled. Milk was stored at 34F. Butter was stored at 34F.
- Utensils in the dry storage area were hung in a position that allowed contamination by workers walking into the room. Manager removed utensils to a different location.
- Steak was stred at 34F, and looked fresh. Delivery comes in twice a week from SYSCO.
- Hush puppies are made scratch from corn flour, butter, and milk. PHFs were stored under 41F. (Walkin cooler 40F, Walkin freezer -20F).
- Ice machine was observed in good condition.
4. Instructed the manager to focus on good personal hygiene, continue to kep PHFs under 41F for cold holding 135F above for hot holding. Continue to avoid bare-hand contact with RTE foods and ensure food contact surfaces are kept cleaned and sanitized.

Comments:
This visit was to check on the progress of the corrections from the previous day, to discuss the inspection with the owner, Mike Anderson and to issue and discuss the typed report with 14 observations and 5 tickets. During this visit, the rotted baseboards and holes through the walls were being repaired, and the facility was still awaiting the arrival of the dishmachine repairman. All of the observations from the previous day were discussed with Mr. Anderson. The tickets were explained and discussed. Mr. Anderson drew exception to the dishmachine ticket, saying that each previous time that we had written up the dishmachine, it was a different problem, and not actually repeat items. I stated that the lack of a working dishmachine on a number of occassions, might lead one to consider whether a new one might be needed, rather tahn continually repairing an old one. The meeting was cordial, and all questions were answered.

Violations: Comments:
During the last inspection, there were problems with the main walk-in refrigerator not holding temperature. Much food was voluntarily destroyed and because of the seriousnesses of this lapse the suggestion was put forth to keep a temperture log for all important refrigeration equipment so that problems could be detected earlier and corrected. During this inspection it was found that no temperature log had been implemented and that the same walk-in refrigerator had not been working properly for atleast a day. A ticket was written and presented to the manager on duty. Also during the last inspection a problem with the cook temperature of crab cakes was noted, since large round crab balls were not able to be properly heated to a pasteurizing temperature. The management of the facility studied the problem and came up woth a workable solution of changing the shape of the crab cakes so they would heat during the frying time alloted and also be able to surpass the required 165 degrees F. internal temperature. My congratulations to the management on coming up with and implementing a workable solution.

September 19, 2006 (Follow-up)


Violations: Comments:
Management voluntarily destroyed food products that were not able to be brought down in temperature and/or cooked from the previous day. A discussion about the recook of crab cakes were held, and a trial cook was attempted. Crab cakes that were recooked in a fat fryer, were too brown to serve to customers and the internal temperatures only reached 76 and 102 degrees rather than the required 165 degrees, so all pre-made crab cakes were destroyed.. Management was told to placard the dish machine as to the number of cyclings it took to bring it up to temperature. A discussion was held about using temperature tapes as a way of recording that sanitizing temperatures had been reached. Management was looking into purchasing some quickly. In the event that the maching would again not be able to make the required temperatures, a contingency plan of using the 3 compartment sink for wash-rinse-and sanitize must be implemented. Management was told that several employees were not able to successfully explain the set-up and operation of the 3-compartment sink. At the conclusion of this discussion, management was told that the Health Department would schedule a follow-up check the folllowing week to see how modifications were coming.

September 19, 2006 (Routine)


Violations: Comments:
Discussion with mangement centered on protecting the potentially hazardous foods in the large walk-in box from elevated temperatures. several alternatives were voiced including moving existing air more effectively, moving supplies to a refrigerated truck and checking the capacity of the evaporators with relation to the volume of foods to be cooled. Management was told that we would stop by the next day to see how the problem was resolved.

Violations: Comments:
1) Until the refrigerators are repaired keep all potentially hazardous foods in refrigerators maintaining 41F or below and only transfer to inoperable units when needed. Use ice to maintain proper temperatures. Limit menu if necessary. The excessive heat in the cook's area may be part of the problem.
2) Taylor ice cream machine is designed to be properly cleaned every night (unless I get message from a Taylor representative). The cleaning procedures, cleaning agents and cleaning brushes and tools are specific and must be followed strictly. There have been food illness outbreaks in the past from these ice cream machines. In many restaurants, the managers clean the machines.
