0080 - Critical Employees are not aware of the reporting procedures concerning information about their health. Train employees about their responsibility to report specific symptoms and diagnosed illnesses. Diagnosed illnesses apply to any member of an employee's household, and include E. coli (O157:H7), Typhoid fever, Shigellosis, and Hepatitis A.
1180 - The thermometers are marked in 5F increments. Thermometers shall be marked in 2F increments. Obtain at least one thermometer to permit more precise measurement of food temperatures.
1770 C - Food debris (probably dried milk) has accumulated in the Kelvinator milk unit in the basement. Maintain nonfood-contact surfaces of equipment clean. Clean inside the refrigerator regularly and whenever necessary.
3300 - Repeat Although the downstairs storage room is far more accessible and less cluttered than during the last inspection, there are still areas stacked with items unnecessary to operation of the facility. Remove all unnecessary items from the facility. The presence of unnecessary articles, including equipment which is no longer used, makes regular and effective cleaning more difficult (therefore less likely to occur), and can provide harborage for insects and rodents. Please continue the process of cleaning the storage room.
Comments:
Good conditions and practices: the hand sink is properly maintained; food handlers are washing their hands; mostly ready-to-eat (RTE) foods are used; hot and cold holding are acceptable; RTE foods are date marked; food handlers use barriers to handle RTE foods; food contact surfaces are clean; and the Person in Charge knows how to calibrate thermometers and demonstrated other relevant knowledge.
December 17, 2008 (Routine)
Violations:
1700 - Corrected During InspectionCritical Chlorine sanitizing solution measured significantly less than 50 parts per million (ppm), so is not effectively sanitizing wet wiping cloths. Mix the chlorine sanitizing solution to a concentration of 50-100 ppm. An employee mixed the solution to an acceptable concentration.
1770 C - Corrected During Inspection The silverware trays is lightly soiled. Maintain nonfood-contact surfaces of equipment in a clean state. The silverware tray was cleaned.
3180 - The floors and the areas below shelves in the basement are not cleaned frequently enough to prevent significant build-up of soilage. Clean all floors, walls, and ceilings as often as necessary to prevent build-up of significant soilage. Cleaning of the physical facilities is an important measure in ensuring the protection and sanitary preparation of food, and permits regular monitoring for presence of pests. A regular cleaning schedule should be established and followed.
3300 - The storage room and the rest of the down stairs area are cluttered with unused items, making it very difficult if not impossible to clean effectively. Maintain the premise free of unnecessary items so that cleaning and pest control can be carried out effectively. Contact me when the downstairs has been cleared out and cleaned completely.
Comments:
These good conditions and practices are observed: the hand sink is accessible and stocked; foods are procured from approved vendors; the manager knows proper concentration for sanitizer solution; most potentially hazardous ready-to-eat foods are date marked; food contact surfaces are clean; and cold holding temperatures are acceptable. The manager corrected two of the violations immediately. We discussed: employee health policies; date marking procedures; pest control; storage of wet wiping cloths; and displaying the Health Department Permit and hand wash signs.
May 02, 2008 (Critical Procedures)
Violation: 0820 A 2 - Corrected During InspectionCritical Milk (44F) and half/half (43F), both in the Cold Tech unit near the register, are at improper cold holding temperatures. Quickly chill the dairy products to 41F or below. The temperature setting was adjusted to cool the food. Ambient temperature was 40F within 30 minutes.
Comments:
These good conditions and practices are observed: accessible, stocked hand sinks; good date marking; acceptable hot holding; acceptable concentration of sanitizer solution; and clean food contact surfaces. Half and half at the customer area is changed every hour. We discussed: heating and reheating temperatures; placement of thermometers in refrigerated units; storage of wiping cloths (including those used on the steamer wand); allowing adequate space for air circulation in refrigerators; cleaning shelves in the dish area; and use of hair restraints.
November 08, 2007 (Follow-up)
Violations:
0820 - Critical Repeat Cold holding at improper temperatures: multiple potentially hazardous foods in several of the refrigerators were 46 to 50 degrees. They were discarded. Discard the food and ensure that potentially hazardous foods for cold holding are maintained at 41F or below to inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria.
1320 - Repeat There was no temperature measuring device located in the several of the refrigerators. There may be some in them BUT they are not easy to see so it defeats the purpose of being easy to monitor refrigeration temperatures. Provide a temperature measuring device in all hot or cold holding equipment used to store potentially hazardous foods so that employees can routinely monitor the ambient air temperature.
1450 - Repeat Refrigerators were overstocked and is not sufficient in number or capacity to meet the food storage demands of the establishment. They are so tightly packed that air can not sufficiently circulate. Provide additional commercial refrigerators (verses home style) that are large enough to adequately store your potentially hazardous foods. They are necessary to maintain food items a 41 degrees or below. Overstocked equipment does not allow for proper air circulation and/or heat transfer. Improper food storage temperatures are a major contributing factor to foodborne illness.
Comments:
Concerning violations above: #820 - all refrigeration units are holding PHFoods 41 degrees or colder, except the pastry case. It is 43. HOWEVER, you need to check with your supplier. It is possible these cheesecakes are below 4.5 pH. If so, they do not need to be below 41 degrees. #1320 - thermometers are on order. Place then in such a way that every day you can open the refrigerator and easily monitor the temperature. You may want to start a temperature log. In this way you would have a "head's up" if the refrigeration unit starts to warm up. #1450 - This will take some study by managers. The goal is to keep small amounts of food, which can be used up within 4 hours in the small unit up front and to keep the large containers in which the product comes in other refrigerators. One way to do this is to break down large containers into several small containers. Put one of two in the small units out front and the remainder in the larger refrigerators downstairs. Or consider using a larger refrigerator in the hall across from the bathroom. Thank you for your efforts in addressing the violations from the previous inspection. As new employees are hired, train them in the proper handwashing procedure, operation of the 3 compartment sink use, and other food safety techniques.
November 06, 2007 (Routine)
Violations:
0160 - Corrected During InspectionCritical A food employee failed to wash his or her hands before engaging in food preparation, after taking a break and drinking a drink. 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. HE DID SO WHEN I ASKED HIM TO WASH HIS HANDS.
0170 - A food employee was observed cleaning their hands in a sink used for utensil washing. When I asked the young man to wash his hands, he went to a hand sink/service sink out front, then WALKED BY the hand sink and proceeded to wash his hands in the 3 compartment sink. Instruct food employees to clean their hands in a handwashing lavatory. Food employees may not clean their hands in a sink used for food preparation or utensil washing.
0820 - Critical Repeat Cold holding at improper temperatures: multiple potentially hazardous foods in several of the refrigerators were 46 to 50 degrees. They were discarded. Discard the food and ensure that potentially hazardous foods for cold holding are maintained at 41F or below to inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria.
1320 - Repeat There was no temperature measuring device located in the several of the refrigerators.

Improper food storage temperatures are a major contributing factor to foodborne illness.
1770 A - Critical The cutting board is black with food debris and stains. The cutting board MUST be scrubbed back to white EACH night and then rinsed and sanitized. ALSO, since it is used continuously during the day, EVERY 4 hours it should be washed, rinsed and wiped with a sanitized clothe.
1770 A - Critical There was no sanitizer in the 3 compartment sink. I asked about it and was told that they used chlorine sanitizer and had test papers available. One of the employees drained the sink, refilled it and started using it AGAIN WITH NO SANITIZER.
Comments:
NOTE: You will note that half of these are critical items and some have been marked on the last two inspections. This should not be. There will be a re-inspection in the next few days and ALL the above violations need to be addressed. Since the owner of this establishment is ServSafe trained, it would be good if she were willing to hold some in service meetings with the employees to review basic sanitary techniques.
September 06, 2006 (Routine)
Violations:
0220 - Corrected During InspectionCritical In use open drinking containers stored in a manner that may contaminate food, food contact surfaces or utensils.

November 15, 2004 (Routine)
Violations:
0830 - Critical The ready-to-eat (RTE) commercially processed Heavy whipping cream in the refrigeration unit was not properly dated for disposition after opening. CORRECTED AT TIME OF INSPECTION! 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 days or within 4 calendar days if held at 45F. 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.
2000 - @TABLEWARE@ were observed stored unprotected at the mini grill area. Store @TABLEWARE@ in the original protective package to protect from contamination until used.
1770 B - Observed accumulations of encrusted grease deposits or other soil on the following food contact surfaces: ice scoop Clean and sanitize these surfaces for food contact.
May 18, 2004 (Routine)
