3-302.11A1 - Critical Raw animal food stored over ready-to-eat (RTE) food in the Artic Air refrigeration unit. Separate raw animal foods during storage, preparation, holding, and display from raw RTE food including other raw animal food such as fish for sushi or molluscan shellfish, or other raw RTE food such as vegetables, and cooked RTE food.
3-304.14B2 - Wiping cloths improperly stored between use. Ensure wet wiping cloths are stored in a chemical sanitizer at the proper concentration between use.
3-304.15A - Single-use gloves worn during multi-tasked food preparation. Discard gloves when changing tasks and wash hands when changing from raw food to ready-to-eat (RTE) food preparation to prevent cross contamination. Single-use gloves shall be used for only one task such as working with RTE food or with raw animal food and used for no other purpose.
3-305.11A3 - Food stored on the floor (dry storage area) and/or food stored less than 6" above the floor. Elevate food storage onto approved shelving with minimum 6" legs or casters.
3-501.14A - Critical Steak (87F after 2 hrs.) noted not being adequately cooled to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria. Cool potentially hazardous foods from 140F to 70F within 2 hours and from 70F to 41F (45F) 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.
3-501.16B - Critical Steak (87F after to 2 hours) cold holding at improper temperatures. Cold hold potentially hazardous food at 41F (45F) or less to inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria.
3-501.17A - Critical The prepared ready-to-eat (RTE) food in the refrigeration unit is not properly dated for disposition. Mark the name and "consume by" date on the container of RTE foods at the time of preparation if the food is to be held for more than 24 hours. If the food is held at 41oF or below the food shall be served or sold within 7 calendar days or within 4 calendar days if held at 45oF. 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.
4-204.112A - Corrected During Inspection The temperature measuring devices in the True Display, Airtic Air Cooling Units are the Prep Units were not properly located in the warmest part of the unit. Relocate the temperature measuring device to the warmest part of the refrigeration unit to properly represent the ambient air temperature.
4-903.11D - Observed single service items on the dry storage area flooring. All single service items (i.e. utensils, plateware, napskins) shall be placed at least 6" above flooring.
43.1-1-5F - The following items are intended for household use only and are not approved for use in a commercial food establishment: * * Household Skillet* Household Rice Cooker Remove identified household food equipment from the establishment OR use and label for "EMPLOYEE USE ONLY". All food equipment must meet American National Sanitation Institute, ANSI, or National Sanitation Foundation, NSF, listed or equivalent.
43.1-3-1A - Critical Health permit was not posted conspiciously within the establishment. Post health permit so that it is easily viewable to all consumers. It should not be blocked by equipment or other permits.
5-203.11A - Critical There is not an adequate number of handwash lavatories on site. (See 5-204.11A) Install additional lavatories to increase the employee's opportunity to wash hands routinely. Prior to installing additional plumbing fixtures the permit holder must apply and gain approval through the necessary regulatory agencies.***Post signage directing customers to hand washing laboratories.***
5-203.12 - Critical There are not an adequate number of toilets required by law. Install additional toilets to be in compliance with law. Prior to installing additional plumbing fixtures the permit holder must apply and gain approval through the necessary regulatory agencies. ***Post signage directing customers to restrooms.***
5-205.11A - Corrected During Inspection The handwashing facility located in the prep area is blocked (trash can), preventing access by employees for easy handwashing. Access to the handwashing facility identified above is to be available during all hours of operation. Remove the items preventing its use.
5-501.113B - Outside refuse container was uncovered. Close doors and lids on all exterior refuse containers to prevent attraction and harborage of rodents and other pests.
5-501.115 - Trash and litter were observed adjacent to the refuse container outside the facility. The refuse container storage area and grounds adjacent to the container are to be maintained clean and sanitary.
6-501.16 - Mops and brooms not hung up to air dry. Wet use maintenance items such as mops must be hung in a position that allows them to air dry so they are not allowed to grow contamination which can then be spread through the establishment at the next use.
7-202.12A - Corrected During InspectionCritical Chlorine concentration within the sanitizing basin is too strong (200ppm). Ensure chlorine concentration levels are maintained between 50ppm - 100ppm to prevent contamination.
Comments:
The purpose of this visit was to conduct a routine inspection. ***Provide a formal agreement with management to ensure consumers can use the building's restrooms.*** ***Provide signage directing customers to establishment's restrooms.*** 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). Ensure that all employees, including management, understand reporting, restriction, and exclusion. 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. BOTTOM SHELF – 165F Raw Poultry MIDDLE SHELF – 155F Raw Ground Beef, Sausage, & Other Comminuted Meats 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. 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 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. 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. Critical Violations shall be corrected within 10 days. Non-Critical Violations shall be corrected within 90 days.
