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. Ensure all food employees clean their hands and exposed portions of their arms with a cleaning compound in a lavatory by vigorously rubbing together the surfaces of their lathered hands for at least 20 seconds and thoroughly rinsing with clean water. Always wear gloves or use other suitable utensils such as tongs or deli tissue, when handling ready-to-eat food. Minimize bare hand contact with non-ready-to-eat food as well.

July 27, 2004 (Complaint)

Comments:
This was a complaint called at the Health Department regarding the weighing scale area. Today's investigation I observed for flies in the area.
The establishment has an existing pest control attached to the wall which attracts flies.
The area is clear and free of food grime.
5-501.113A
The wash is uncovered. Cover and trash can to prevent attracting flies. CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION.

April 09, 2003 (Follow-up)

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.
