Inspection date

Type

Work order was placed to get Hobart RIC (left) repaired.
  • Critical: Food - Potentially Hazardous Food - Cold Holding* (corrected on site) (repeated violation)
    Observation: Beer cheese and precooked salmon in the Hobart RIC cold holding at improper temperatures
    Correction: Relocate food to a refrigeration unit that is capable of maintaining food storage at 41°F or below.
  • Equipment - Good Repair and Proper Adjustment
    Observation: The door gasket to the right Hobart RIC is in poor repair.
    Correction: Repair or replace the door gasket in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications.
  • Plumbing System Maintained in Good Repair
    Observation: The pre-wash sink near dish machine is leaking.
    Correction: Plumbing systems and components shall be maintained in good repair.
11/24/2015Routine
Adequate and calibrated thermometers, sanitizer, and test kit. Employee health policy is already in place.
A new left MUT/drawers unit has been purchased and put into use within the last week. It was determined that the unit was going through a defrost mode when the inspector arrived. Product temperature in the top wells of the unit spiked significantly, while temperatures in the drawers stayed under 41 F. The manager called the service technicians to come check the unit since food temperatures should not go up into the 50 F+ range during a normal defrost cycle. The right drawers on the line were also defrosting during the inspection. All elevated product temperature did recover while the inspector was present.
Some things to take care of: 1. Recaulk/seal behind the 3-vat sink, dish machine, and sprayer area. 2. Reattach part of the metal sheeting pulling away from the wall behind the spray. 3. Trim hoses to chemical dispensing system at the mop sink a couple of inches
Remind staff that the hand sinks are for handwashing and no other purpose. Wet towels should also not be stored under cutting boards. They can act as a medium for bacterial growth.

  • Critical: Food - Potentially Hazardous Food - Cold Holding* (corrected on site)
    Observation: Product in the top of the new left Delfield MUT/drawers unit cold holding at improper temperatures. Product temperatures spiked 52-60 F.
    Correction: Discard the food and ensure that potentially hazardous foods for cold holding are maintained at 41°F or below to inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria.
  • Plumbing System Maintained in Good Repair (repeated violation)
    Observation: Plumbing connection under the sanitizer compartment of the 3-vat sink is leaking.
    Correction: Plumbing systems and components shall be maintained in good repair.
07/09/2015Routine
The operator provided a metal probe thermometer, quat test strips and an Employee Health policy during today's inspection. The operator provided a letter of parasite destruction for the service of Ahi Tuna ( thunnus albacares) offered undercooked, from their food supplier PFG.
  • Plumbing System Maintained in Good Repair
    Observation: Plumbing connections under the three compartment sink are leaking.
    Correction: Plumbing systems and components shall be maintained in good repair.
  • Physical Facilities in Good Repair
    Observation: Cracked and missing floor tiles were observed in the beer walk-in cooler and on the cookline, under the cookline equipment.
    Correction: Maintain physical facilities in good repair. Poor repair and maintenance compromises the functionality of the physical facilities.
01/08/2015Routine
Have the service technicians check the time of day the defrost modes are set on the refrigeration units throughout the facility. When the manager did the line check this morning 8:30 am the unit was running at 35 F and is currently at 40 F.

Repair plumbing leak to the main hand sink as soon as possible.
Continue to monitor the air temperature of the right MUT drawers to ensure it is capable of maintaining temperatures of 41 F or less. Product temperature was 41 F or less when checked, so the unit's temperature appears to be going up with heavy in/out traffic.

  • Equipment - Good Repair and Proper Adjustment (repeated violation)
    Observation: Hand sink along the cook line was observed in a state of disrepair and damaged. Water leaking from plumbing connections under the sink. Water also dripping down from the return air vents to the AC system in front of the office/left WIC entrance.
