Comments:
Today’s inspection was to conduct a Critical Procedures inspection. Thank you for accompanying me through the inspection as your participation allows me to clarify information and identify areas where your processes may need further attention or assessment. During the inspection of this establishment it was noted that management is not aware of the Food Code provision that employees are required to report certain symptoms or diagnosed illnesses to the person in charge. Also, the person in charge was not able to name the Big Five Foodborne Illnesses, which are required to be reported to the Health Department. Information on the Big Five Foodborne Illnesses, in English, Spanish and Vietnamese, was left with the CFM to post. Discussed and shared with CFM cooling methods. A follow up inspection will be conducted on or about July 2, 2009. Hot water heater: Rheen Ruud G82-156 Dishmachine: Autochlor A4, chlorine Grease trap cleaning: CFM unsure how frequently is cleaned Vent hood cleaning: cleaned 2.12.09; filters in need of cleaning CFM unsure how often cleaned Pest Control service: unsure of frequency Consumer Advisory: CFM stated that all phf food is cooked to appropriate temperatures before serving It has been a pleasure to serve you today. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to call 703-246-2444. Thank You.

Comments:
The purpose of today's visit was conduct a follow-up inspection. Please review the following: 1. All refrigeration units in the establishment were observed at temperatures above 41F. Per, CFM, the units were serviced, however, no service report was provided. Although, the walk in cooler and sandwich prep unit were observed at lower temperatures then previous recorded during in the last inspection, these units must still be adjusted to maintain an ambient air temperature of 41F or below. 2. The Hobart 2 door glass refrigerator may not be used to store PHFs. 3. Review cooling process. Excessive time for cooling of potentially hazardous foods has been consistently identified as one of the leading contributing factors to foodborne illness. If food is not cooled in accordance with the Code requirement, pathogens may grow to sufficient numbers to cause foodborne illness. PHF must cool from 135F to 70F within 2 hours, then from 70F to 41 F with in 4 hours. 4. Be sure to monitor all hot/cold potentially hazardous foods. Bacterial growth and/or toxin production can occur if PHF's remain in the temperature "Danger Zone" of 41F-135F too long. ***Locate food thermometer*** ***Failure to correct and maintain cited violations may result in additional corrective action being taken.***

Comments:
This visit was made to conduct a routine inspection. Please review the following comments: 1. All remaining critical and refrigeration violations must be corrected immediately. A follow up inspection will be conducted on or about 6/6/2007. 2. Be sure to monitor all hot/cold potentially hazardous foods. Bacterial growth and/or toxin production can occur if PHF's remain in the temperature "Danger Zone" of 41F-135F too long. Do not leave food sitting out at room temperature. 3. During the inspection of this establishment it was noted that management was not aware of the Food Code provision that employees are required to report certain symptoms or diagnosed illnesses to the person in charge. Also, the PIC/CFM could not convey knowledge of an employee health policy indicating what symptoms are to be reported and when to exclude/restrict an employee from their duties OR did not have access to a written policy stating what actions are necessary following a report that an employee has certain symptoms are diagnosed illnesses. 4. Professional Pest Control Company services every 3 months. No activity/evidence noted today. 5. Grease trap is located on floor at the warewash station and is cleaned weekly. 6. Water heater is Rheem Ruud G82-156 156,000BTU. Warewasher is Autochlor A-4, 50ppm. 7. Sanitizer for 3 vat sink is chlorine. 8. It is important that raw meat is stored properly within refrigeration and freezer units to prevent cross contamination. Raw meat should be stored separately from ready to eat foods and from other types of raw meat. If stored on the same shelving unit within refrigerator and freezer units, raw meat should be stored as follows: TOP SHELF: All pre-cooked and ready to eat foods (e.g. vegetables) SECOND SHELF: Raw seafood/eggs/pork THIRD SHELF: Raw beef BOTTOM SHELF: Raw chicken 6. Review cooling process. Excessive time for cooling of potentially hazardous foods has been consistently identified as one of the leading contributing factors to foodborne illness. If food is not cooled in accordance with the Code requirement, pathogens may grow to sufficient numbers to cause foodborne illness. PHF must cool from 135F to 70F within 2 hours, then from 70F to 41 F with in 4 hours. ***Failure to correct and maintain cited violations may result in additional corrective action being taken.***
