August 03, 2009 (Follow-up)

Comments:
It appears that refrigerators are holding at proper temperatures. PIC kept a log this weekend and observed good temperatures. Continue to monitor your units daily. This is a good food safety practice. Make unit 37.5 degrees (water), 3 door 39.6 degrees (water). Thawing to be done inside refrigerator or you can do it under cold running water. Remember butter to be placed on time control and discarded after 4 hours.

July 31, 2009 (Risk Factor Assessment)


Violations: Comments:
Other observations: clean interior of all refrigerators; do not shut off hot water at handsink; do not put food on floor; keep back door shut; flies on premises; walls require cleaning. Step up cleaning throughout kitchen. Set up wiping cloth buckets. Section 140: you are in need of additional refrigeration space. Since you cool quantities of food I recommend a walk in for faster cooling.

July 31, 2009 (Follow-up)

Comments:
Follow up concerning temperature problems with a 3 door unit and a make table. Both units were serviced but air temperatures are still elevated. Serviceman is planning to return at 5 pm to recheck. If food is over 41 degrees for more than 6 hours it must be discarded. Owner and person in charge to ensure refrigerators are working properly. You have a little more room in 2 door that is working fine. Try to use this unit for meats and cooked foods at this time. A bottle of water was placed inside both units. Employee to check temperature on both tomorrow morning. If it is 41 degrees, you may use these units. If not 41 degrees or lower, do not use. Keep a temperature log on units. I will come by Monday to recheck. No cooling of bulk foods to occur until all refrigerators are working. Cook foods as you need them and keep them hot (>135 degrees). At 6:00, PIC agreed to discard goat, chicken and cheese inside make table.

April 30, 2009 (Risk Factor Assessment)


Violations: Comments:
Other observations: Roach egg casing observed on handsink. Have kitchen serviced by pest control operator. Clean up dead bodies and egg casings. (Owner stated PCO is coming 2 times a month). Keep back door closed. Keep real butter cold or hot (less than 41 degrees or greater than 135 degrees).

January 30, 2009 (Risk Factor Assessment)


Violations: Comments:
We discussed using more ice under rice pudding to keep cold. Cool foods from 135 degrees to 70 degrees in 2 hours, then to 41 degrees in 4 more hours. Do not cover during cooling process. Continue to remove cardboard from freezer. The following items were corrected from last inspection: #3045, 1770A, 820A1, 830, 3330, 570, 1770C, 1770B, 3180, 3200. A lot of cleaning and organizing has been done. Continue to work on the above. Many questions asked of PIC-he was able to answer.

December 11, 2008 (Follow-up)

Comments:
Follow up to ensure that owner corrects dating of prepared foods and to ensure that workers use a thermometer when reheating foods. Chick peas were being reheated as I arrived. Worker did not check temperature. After I checked chick peas I found them to be 124 degrees. These were not reheated to 165 degrees. PIC put them back on the stove and reheated to 165 degrees. Foods are still not being dated. When you prepare foods, place a date on containers. This date may indicate prep date. You have a shelf life of 7 days. This must be started. Stickers are available. Today a large quantity of food (quat) was cooked and placed on counter in plastic bus tubs. A part will be picking up at 8 pm tonight. It will be cooked again with rice. You must cool to 70 degrees within 2 hours. An ice bath was begun for the goat mix. You have very little refrigeration space for cooling. Try to arrange your time so that food doesn't have to be cooled before catering an event.

November 18, 2008 (Routine)


Violations: Comments:
Note: discussed cooling of foods such as yogurt. Cool from 135 degrees to 70 degrees within 2 hours and then down to 41 degrees in 4 more hours. Use ice bath to help. Remove wooden log from kitchen. We discussed disposing of mop water in mop sink and not outside. We discussed proper set up of 3 compartment sink and the use of the test kit. Workers are to use thermometer to judge when food needs to be moved from cooling on counter to being transferred to refrigerator. Use the thermometer. We discussed keeping butter hot or cold-you decide. I will return to ensure use of thermometer and date marking has begun. Permit expires 1/31/09-all to be corrected before that time.
