Violations:
0060 - Critical The person in charge failed to explain the correct procedures for cleaning and sanitizing utensils and food-contact surfaces of equipment. Sanitizer was only being mixed up and used at the end of the day versus throughout/as needed. Ensure the designated person in charge (PIC) is knowledgeable about foodborne disease prevention, Hazardous Analysis Critical Control Point principles and Regulation requirements. The PIC should be prepared to recognize conditions that may contribute to foodborne illness. The PIC must also recognize conditions that fail to comply with Regulation requirements and be authorized to take the appropriate preventive and corrective actions to ensure that the Regulations' objectives are fulfilled.
0560 - Napkins in contact with food -- used to cover foods. Cease use of napkins or paper towels with food unless they are used to line a container for the service of foods. Linens and napkins must be replaced each time the container is refilled for a new customer.
0570 - Wiping cloths improperly stored between use. Ensure wet wiping cloths are stored in a chemical sanitizer at the proper concentration between use.
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.

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.

Violations:
0820 A 2 - Critical Some foods in the make-up table coolers and walk-in cooler are being cold held at improper temperatures Relocate food to a refrigeration unit that is capable of maintaining food storage at 41F or below. Suggest placing tofu, summer rolls, and tomato inside of lower cooling unit, or keeping them in metal containers surrounded by ice.
0830 - Critical The prepared ready-to-eat (RTE) foods in the refrigeration unit is not properly dated for disposition. Mark the name and "consume by" date on the container of RTE foods at the time of preparation if the food is to be held for more than 24 hours. If the food is held at 41F or below the food shall be served or sold within 7 calendar days. Some harmful bacteria continue to grow even at refrigeration temperatures so limiting the amount of time in storage limits the amount of growth allowed for these bacteria.
1080 - Corrected During Inspection Carryout bags were being used to store some food items in the freezers. They are not designed and constructed to be durable. Remove this item from the facility and replace with food grade storage bags or food storage containers. Equipment and utensils must be capable of maintaining their original characteristics in order to be easily cleaned and to prevent contamination of food.
1530 - There is no properly working test kit provided in the facility for monitoring the concentration of the chemical sanitizing solutions in the dish machine. Obtain a chlorine test kit so that employees can accurately monitor the concentration of the sanitizing solutions in the dish machine and maintain them at a safe and effective level.
1800 - The non-food contact surfaces of the hood filters and vents and walls around and below the filters themselves have accumulations of grime and debris, as well as lower and upper prep table shelving. Clean the surface at a frequency necessary to preclude accumulation of soil residues that become encrusted or attract insects and rodents.
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.
