August 03, 2009 (Follow-up)

Comments:
Temperature of WIC has been lowered as suggested. Language might have been a barrier during original inspection even though inspector thought the operator understood her questions.

July 24, 2009 (Routine)


Violations: Comments:
Adequate thermometer, quat + chlorine test kits, and chlorine dish machine.
Suggest getting the temperature of the WIC lowered to ~35-37°F. All food temperatures need to be at 41°F or less and the temperatures found are borderline. Permanently place a thermometer in the WIC and other refrigerators to monitor the air temperatures.
Check employee health policy during FU.
Make sure to wipe down/clean the hood filters over the grill. There was obvious buildup of grease hanging off the grills of the filters.

May 04, 2009 (Follow-up)

Comments:
The thermostats on the MUTs and WIC have been lowered.
Sauces are being date-marked.
Food grade storage bags are being used.
A chlorine test kit was present to monitor the dish machine.
The hood filters, vents, and walls around the cooking equipment have been cleaned.
Next time Ecolab comes in, ask them to calibrate the quat dispenser to provide a solution of 200 ppm. Right now it is ~100 ppm.

April 23, 2009 (Routine)


Violations: Comments:
Additional temperatures taken: (freezers) scallops 11, pepper 5, crispy chicken 17, chicken on stick 17, steam dumplings 29, raw chicken 9
(walk-in cooler) sticky rice 44, rice noodles 42, milk 44, ground pork 44, raw chicken 44, pork 36, beef 43, shrimp 42
Adequate thermometer, quat test kit, sanitizer bucket, and chlorine dish machine.
Suggest turning down the thermostat on the walk-in cooler until the temperature is ~37°F to help keep food products colder, and below 41°F. Meats in the WIC are currently 42-44°F (a little too warm).
Get some new thermometers to keep in the make-up table coolers and one for the WIC. Check them each day to make sure the equipment is working properly.
Next time Ecolab comes to service the facility, have them check the quat dispenser. The chemical is coming out closer to 100 ppm and we want it to test at 200 ppm.
Discussed employee health policy and FDA code changes.
