• 1080 - Corrected During Inspection There was a metal-banded pastry brush in a utensils drawer in the kitchen
  We do not allow metal-banded pastry brushes in food establishments. The space between the metal band and the wooden brush is not easily cleanable, at the bacterial level. And the metal band can rust. Replace with a plastic pastry brush with a plastic band (or a plastic brush with no band). This violation was immediately corrected by the establishment management.
• 3080 - Repeat There is not enough lighting in the back part of the walk-in refrigerator in the kitchen.
  We require that the lighting be 10 foot candles in all areas in the kitchen (measured 30 inches from the floor). There needs to be an additional light fixture in the unit, which will light the back part in this refrigerator, when one is working in the refrigerator. When one is working in the refrigerator, the light, from the one light bulb in the front of the unit, is blocked/dimmed.

• 0240 - Repeat Employees working in the kitchen were not wearing the hair restraints that we require.
  We require that foodservice employees wear hats, hair nets, open visors, scarves, or some other type of approved hair covering.
• 1530 - The test strip kit for monitoring bleach- type sanitizer levels could not be located.
  Available chlorine level for bleach-type sanitizer levels always needs to be 50 to 100 ppm, as measured by the test strips which are required to always be on hand. A test strip kit for monitoring bleach type sanitizer levels needs to be kept at the site.
• 3080 - Repeat The lighting intensity in the back part of the walk-in refrigerator is less than 2 foot candles.
  We require that the lighting intensity in all areas in walk-in refrigerators be 10 foot candles, or higher (measured 30 inches from the floor). An additional lighting fixture is needed in the back part of the walk-in refrigerator.

• 0240 - Repeat Employees working with food are not wearing the hair restraints that we require.
  We require that all employeees working with food wear hats, hair nets, scarves, open visors, or some other type of approved hair covering.
• 3080 - The lighting intensity in the back part of the walk-in refrigerator is less than 2 foot candles.

• 2890 - Repeat There was no safety shielding associated with the light bulb in the walk-in refrigerator.
  We require that all lighting in kitchen and food prep areas have safety shielding. A light cover for this light bulb would meet our requirement. Or replacing this light bulb with a plastic-coated "shatter-proof" light bulb would meet our requirement.
• 3020 - Corrected During Inspection The hand soap push-button dispener at the kitchen handwashing sink does not work (does not "pump out" handsoap).
  Immediately replace the broken soap dispenser with a dispenser that works. This violation was immediately corrected. We require that all handwashing sinks have handwashing soap readily available, at all times. We need to do everything possible to encourage frequent and whenever necessary handwashing.

• 1770 C - One of the woven bread baskets, stored in a stack of woven bread baskets, which are presumed to be clean, had visible food debris on the outside of it ( a "strip" of shredded lettuce).
  The visible food debris was removed by the manager. The manager was advised that the woven baskets are not easily cleanable, at the bacterial level. We recommended that the baskets be replaced with (plastic-type material) woven baskets, which are easily cleanable, and can be run through the mechanical dishwasher, after each use.
• 1750 - Repeat There was a white plastic bucket with a lid that said "sour cream" (commercial writing, impregnated in the lid), that contained cooked chicken slices/pieces, in the walk-in refrigerator.
  Only the food which originally came in this type of container may be stored in this type of container. These containers are specified to be for a single-use only by the manufacturer, and cannot stand up to repeated washing. Replace with tupperware, or some other type of smooth, easliy cleanable, more durable storage container.
• 2890 - Repeat There is no safety shielding for the light bulb in the walk-in refrigerator.
  We require that all lighting in kitchens, food prep, and food storage areas be shielded. Either a cover over the bulb/lighting fixture, or replacing the bulb with a shatterproof, plastic coated bulb, would meet this requirement.

April 20, 2004 (Routine)

• 0240 - Repeat Foodservice workers handling food in the kitchen did not have on the required hair restraints.
  We require that foodservice workers wear hair covering such as a baseball cap, a hairnet, an open visor, a scarf, or some other approved hair covering. Tieing the hair back, as workers have done, does not meet the requirement.
• 1750 - Repeat Plastic white buckets and lids are being reused, to store foods in them which did not originally come in the container. For example, tangerine slices are being stored in a plaastic white bucket in the walk-in refrigerator which says chili, impregnated on the lid.
  Reuse of the platic white buckets and lids is notallowed for storage of foods, other than the food which originally came in the white bucket. These white plastic buckets are intended to be single-use storage items. Replace with tupperware, or some other more durable, easily cleanable, storage container.
• 2890 - The light bulb in the walk-in refrigerator is missing the required shielding.
  All lighting in kitchen and food prep areas is required to be shielded. Plastic coated "shatter-proof" bulbs may also be used to meet this requiremant.
• 3170 - Cove molding has come loose from the wall, and there is duct tape on the wall, in the kitchen area to the right of the entrance door to the walk-in refrigerator.
  This area needs to be repaired as soon as possible. We require that all walls, floors, and ceilings of the kitchen areas be smooth and cleanable at all times. Duct tape may not be used for repairs because it introduces surfaces that are not cleanable at the bacterial level.

October 23, 2003 (Routine)

• 0240 - Employee were observed preparing food in the kitchen area and not wearing a hair covering.
  We require that a hair covering, such as a baseball cap, an open visor, or a hair net, be worn when preparing food.
• 1750 - A white plastic bucket and lid impregnated with commercial writing stating "all purpose greek seasoning" but containing tuna salad was observed in the walk-in refrigerator.
  We do not allow the reuse of the white plastic buckets or lids (,intended for a single use, by the manufacturer,) for storage of foods other than the food which originally came in the container.
