The purpose of this visit was to conduct a critical procedures inspection.
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 or diagnosed illnesses.
Employees were observed washing their hands during the inspection without being prompted. Each employee washed his/her hands thoroughly and properly. Disposable gloves were also observed used by food employees.
The establishment does a good job datemarking by using the day dots. Ensure that commerically processes potentially hazardous foods are datemarked with an expiration date as well (i.e. premade past salads, potato salads, boiled eggs).
Reminders/Recommendations:
1. Food handlers shall wash hands thoroughly at any time when contamination may have occurred. This includes but is not limited to before handling food; after using the restroom, smoking, handling garbage or dirty dishes; after handling raw meat; after changing tasks; and between glove use.

Comments:
This is a complaint inspection at this restaurant. Received a complaint, related to another potential foodborne illness complaint, that a customer who ate lunch here on 10/31/03 became ill that evening with nausea and diarrhea. The food reportedly eaten was "turkey with gravy, string beans, cabbage and zucchini" According to the manager of this restaurant none of these foods are served here. I reviewed the menu and verified this. I will check with person who took report at the Health Dept. I cannot confirm this complaint; close the complaint. Note: I also did a routine inspection today.
