Comments:
Discussed the changes in food code with the Person in Charge (PIC). Discussed Consumer Advisory requirements with the PIC. Hamburgers and salmon are both fully cooked -- customers may not request these items raw or undercooked. Steaks are served raw or undercooked upon request, but are whole-muscle intact, non-injected, non-tenderized. Dessert items do not have any raw or undercooked eggs as ingredients. Consumer Advisory does not apply to restaurant at this time. Discussed employee health policy requirements with the PIC. PIC has posted employee health policy in the restaurant for employees to read. Discussed cooling procedures with the PIC. Provided a cooling chart for the PIC. The Environmental Health Specialist (EHS) will review filled-out chart at a later date. Cooling process may need to be changed / modified for pasta sauces and/or soups. PIC advised pasta sauces are set at room temperature generally for 5 hours before placed in refrigeration. PIC has agreed to monitor temperatures and to modify process as required. Discussed reheating procedures with the PIC. Provided a reheating chart for the PIC. The EHS will review filled-out chart at a later date. Discussed the new proposed inspection form / format with the PIC. Discussed "supervision" requirements with the PIC. Monitor the temperatures of the Walk In Refrigerator and the Dessert Cooler and adjust coolers as needed so all potentially hazardous foods are held cold at 41 F or below. Observed the concentration of chlorine sanitizer in the dish machine: 50 ppm. Provided PIC with cooking temperature charts, employee health info, hot/cold holding charts, thermometer calibration procedures, etc. Discussed "Approved Sources" with PIC. Request information that all food suppliers are inspected by a regulatory agency (such as FDA, Virginia Department of Agriculture, etc.). PIC agreed to request this information from two food suppliers and will have the company either fax or email this information to the EHS within 2 weeks. Observed raw, unpasteurized shell eggs stored above containers of pasta sauce in the Walk In Refrigerator. Suggest storing shell eggs below pasta sauce and other ready-to-eat foods (in case eggs should break and drip onto food items). Contact the EHS with any additional questions or concerns: 540-857-7807.
