Comments:
This visit was made to conduct a routine inspection. Please review the following comments: 1. All critical violations were corrected during today's inspection. 2. Be sure to monitor all hot/cold potentially hazardous foods. Bacterial growth and/or toxin production can occur if PHF's remain in the temperature "Danger Zone" of 41F-135F too long. 3. During the inspection of this establishment it was noted that management was aware of the Food Code provision that employees are required to report certain symptoms or diagnosed illnesses to the person in charge. Also, the PIC/CFM could convey knowledge of an employee health policy indicating what symptoms are to be reported and when to exclude/restrict an employee from their duties 4. Professional Pest Control Company services monthly. No activity/evidence noted today. 5. Grease traps are located on the floor at the 3-vat sink and wok line and are cleaned weekly. Hood filters are cleaned every 2 weeks on site. 6. Water heater is AO Smith DRE 52 920 12000 watts. 7. Sanitizer for 3 vat sink is chlorine. 8. It is important that raw meat is stored properly within refrigeration and freezer units to prevent cross contamination. Raw meat should be stored separately from ready to eat foods and from other types of raw meat. If stored on the same shelving unit within refrigerator and freezer units, raw meat should be stored as follows: TOP SHELF: All pre-cooked and ready to eat foods (e.g. vegetables) SECOND SHELF: Raw seafood/eggs/pork THIRD SHELF: Raw beef BOTTOM SHELF: Raw chicken 9. 4-501.11A REPAIR THE LEADER TWO DOOR PREP UNIT AND FAX A COPY OF THE INVOICE TO MY ATTENTION, AT THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT WITHIN 10 DAYS.

Comments:
Food temperature continued: Chicken broth cooling at room temp is 1117, made at 1pm This visit was made to conduct a routine inspection. Please review the following comments: 1. All remaining critical violations must be corrected immediately. 2. Be sure to monitor all hot/cold potentially hazardous foods. Bacterial growth and/or toxin production can occur if PHF's remain in the temperature "Danger Zone" of 41F-135F too long. 3. Professional Pest Control Company services monthly. No activity/evidence noted today. 4. Grease traps are located on the floor at the 3-vat sink and wok line and are cleaned weekly. Hood filters are cleaned monthly on site. 6.

Review cooling process. Excessive time for cooling of potentially hazardous foods has been consistently identified as one of the leading contributing factors to foodborne illness. If food is not cooled in accordance with the Code requirement, pathogens may grow to sufficient numbers to cause foodborne illness. PHF must cool from 135F to 70F within 2 hours, then from 70F to 41 F with in 4 hours.

Provide a test kit for chlorine to measure the concentration of sanitizing solutions. The testing device is required for two reasons: 1) the use of chemical sanitizers requires minimum concentrations of the sanitizer to ensure sanitization and 2) too much sanitizer could be toxic.
