May 28, 2009 (Risk Factor Assessment)

Comments:
Discussed the following items with the foodservice manager: insuring that 50-100ppm chlorine is available in wiping cloth buckets at all times when store is open. Utilize new test strips. Gasket on reach-in door of walk-in refrigerator will be installed (new gasket available on site). Kitchen appears clean and organized. Employees are washing hands and wearing gloves at appropriate times. Good food temperatures observed.

Violations: Comments:
These good conditions and practices are observed: the hand sink is accessible and stocked; food handlers are washing their hands; barriers are used to handle ready-to-eat foods; food contact surfaces are clean; and ready-to-eat potentially hazardous foods are date marked. The manager quickly corrected two of three violations. It is very important to train managers and employees about employee health: please do so as soon as possible. Another set of information was provided for guidance about employee health.

November 28, 2007 (Follow-up)


Violation: - Repeat

Comments:
All repairs have been completed: the grease trap is hooked up, holes in the floor below and around the 3-bay sink are filled, and an air gap exists from the dipper well drain pipe. All refrigeration was working properly on a previous inspection.

November 09, 2007 (Follow-up)

Comments:
Since the previous inspection: (1) the walk-in refrigerator has been cleaned to remove the heaviest build-ups of dust and debris, and (2) hand wash signs have been posted in the restrooms.
Still not completed: (1) installation of the grease trap; (2) sealing holes and smoothing surfaces below the 3-bay sink (near the grease trap) to provide smooth, easily cleanable surfaces; and (3) no air gap exists from the dipper well drain pipe. These tasks must be competed as soon as possible. Another follow-up inspection will be conducted.

October 24, 2007 (Pre-Opening)

Comments:
The facility is under new ownership. The manager is certified in food safety. The following should be completed as soon as possible:
(1) Clean the walls and ceiling of the walk-in refrigerator to remove dust and mold. Protect stored food by removing or covering during cleaning.
(2) Post hand washing signs in the restrooms.
(3) The floor near the wall below the 3-bay and hand wash sinks have holes and bumps near the drains. These areas must be smoothed out so that they are easily cleanable. A grease trap will be installed below the 3-bay sink. Complete this work as soon as possible.
(4) An air gap is needed on the pipe exiting the dipper well so that waste water may not backflow into the well.
The manager and I also discussed: when replacing ceiling tiles use plastic (rather than pure fiber) tiles; and regular cleaning of the ice scoop bin.
