Violations: Comments:
The purpose of today's visit was to perform a routine inspection.
**Time reflects inspection time only**
1. The Cadco portable griddle is not commercial grade equipment and is also grease producing. This facility is not currently permitted for grease producing foods and therefore not equipped with a grease removal hood/filter system and grease trap. Homestandard equipment is to be removed from the establishment. The menu may need to be changed to incorporate the change of equipment (ie - precooked foods that can be reheated in the commercial microwave).
2. Remember to calibrate your probe thermometer in an ice bath to 32F. This should be done at least weekly and every time it is dropped to ensure proper calibration.

BEFORE: food preparation, putting on gloves, working with clean equipment, utensils, unwrapped single-service or single-use items;
AFTER: handling trash, using the restroom, smoking, eating, coughing, sneezing, handling dirty equipment, handling raw meat or poultry;

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 (including deli meats) 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 days, including the prep/open date. Some harmful bacteria continue to grow even at proper refrigeration temperatures so limiting the amount of time in storage limits the amount of grow allowed for these bacteria.
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, 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 tasks. 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 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.
NOTES:
*Water Heater: not accessible
*Grease Trap: n/a

August 16, 2005 (Follow-up)


Violations: Comments:
The purpose of this visit was to conduct a follow-up inspection.
It is noted that this establishment has corrected most of the previously sited violations but, there are still a few concerns.
- The previously sited (routine 01AUG05) household skillet was replaced with a brand new "household skillet". Establishments can only use "COMMERCIAL" pieces of equipment to serve and hold foods for the general public. Replace skillet with a COMMERCIAL skillet.
- Please remember to datemark all foods with a preparation and an expiration date when they are not used within a 24 time period.
Please also be advised the establishment has received written documentation from the property manager explaining that customers/employees have access to the restrooms on the 1st and 6th floor of this building.
If there are any additional questions or concerns please contact me, Erik Coleman (703) 246-8449.

August 01, 2005 (Routine)


Violations: 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.
