Comments:
The purpose of today's inspection was to conduct a follow-up on the salad bar for proper cold holding and to check the 3-vat sink for proper concentration of quaternary ammonium compound chemical sanitizer automatically dispensed in the sanitizing sink. During the previous visit, the foods on the salad bar were not maintained at 41-F or lower and the concentration of the quaternary ammonium compound sanitizer in the sink was 400 ppm. Both violations have been corrected accordingly. The quaternary ammonium compound concentration was observed to be 200 ppm and all foods on the salad bare were noted to be 40-F and lower during this inspection. The establishment is in full compliance. Thank you for your cooperation.

DATEMARKING Mark the name and “consume by” date on the container of ready-to-eat (RTE), potentially hazardous food (PHF) at the time of preparation if the food is to be held for more than 24 hours. Similarly, mark a “consume by” date on commercially processed RTE foods (including deli meats) 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, including the prep/open date. Some harmful bacteria continue to grow even at proper refrigeration temperatures so limiting the amount of time in storage limits the amount of grow allowed for these bacteria. HANDWASHING REMINDER 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, 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 tasks.

Comments:
Today's inspection is a follow-up to check the display case for cold-holding and the plumbing under the coffee/soda station . During the routine inspection 4/02/2003, the far right display cases were not maintaining foods at 41F or lower. The ambient temperature of these units were above 45F. Also, the drain pipes under the coffee/soda station were not raised above the floor sink. Both problems have been resolved. No temperature troubles were observed during this visit. The drain pipes have been raised above the floor sink. However, you are reminded to clean the vents of the display case properly. In addition, place potentially hazardous foods into refrigerated unit immediately after processing and keep the doors of the display cases closed as much as possible for proper food temperatures. Thank you for your cooperation.
