Violations:
- 2-102.11C - Critical The person in charge did not demonstrate their knowledge of correct procedures for cleaning and sanitizing utensils and food-contact surfaces of equipment.
CORRECTED.Based on the risks inherent to the food operation, during inspections and upon request the person in charge shall demonstrate to the regulatory authority knowledge of foodborne disease prevention, application of the hazard analysis and critical control point principles, and the requirements of this Code. The person in charge shall demonstrate this knowledge by responding correctly to the inspector's questions as they relate to the specific food operation. The areas of knowledge include explaining correct procedures for cleaning and sanitizing utensils and food-contact surfaces of equipment. - 2-102.11C - Critical The person in charge could not identify the big five foodborne illnesses.
Based on the risks inherent to the food operation, during inspections and upon request the person in charge shall demonstrate to the regulatory authority knowledge of foodborne disease prevention, application of the hazard analysis and critical control point principles, and the requirements of this Code. The person in charge shall demonstrate this knowledge by responding correctly to the inspector's questions as they relate to the specific food operation. The areas of knowledge include describing the symptoms associated with the diseases that are transmissible through food. - 2-401.11 - Critical An open beverage container and/or a closed beverage container not handled to prevent contamination of a food employee's hands, the container, exposed food, and/or clean equipment was observed.
CORRECTED.A food employee may drink from a closed beverage container if the container is handled to prevent contamination of: (1) The employee's hands; (2) The container; and (3) Exposed food; clean equipment, utensils, and linens; and unwrapped single-service and single-use articles. - 3-303.11 - Repeat Ice used as a medium for cooling the exterior surfaces of food is also used as food.- at bar ice for consumption is also used to cool cold plate.
After use as a medium for cooling exterior surfaces of food such as melons or fish, packaged foods such as canned beverages, or cooling coils and tubes of equipment, ice may not be used as food. Ice that has been in contact with unsanitized surfaces or raw animal foods may contain pathogens and other contaminants. For example, ice used to store or display fish or packaged foods could become contaminated with microbes present on the fish or packaging. If this ice is then used as a food ingredient, it could contaminate the final product. - 3-304.11 - Critical Ramekin observed used as a scoop for salsa in drawer unit.
CORRECTED.Food shall only contact surfaces of: (A) Equipment and utensils that are cleaned as specified under Part 4-6 of this Code and sanitized as specified under Part 4-7 of this Code; or (B) Single-service and single-use articles. Pathogens can be transferred to food from utensils that have been stored on surfaces which have not been cleaned and sanitized. They may also be passed on by consumers or employees directly, or indirectly from used tableware or food containers. Some pathogenic microorganisms survive outside the body for considerable periods of time. Food that comes into contact directly or indirectly with surfaces that are not clean and sanitized is liable to such contamination. The handles of utensils, even if manipulated with gloved hands, are particularly susceptible to contamination. - 3-304.12 - Food preparation and dispensing utensils are improperly stored.- Utensils observed stored in sanitizer.
CORRECTED.During pauses in food preparation or dispensing, food preparation and dispensing utensils shall be stored: (A) In the food with their handles above the top of the food and the container; (B) In food that is not potentially hazardous (time/temperature control for safety food) with their handles above the top of the food within containers or equipment that can be closed, such as bins of sugar, flour, or cinnamon; (C) On a clean portion of the food preparation table or cooking equipment only if the in-use utensil and the food-contact surface of the food preparation table or cooking equipment are cleaned and sanitized at least every 4 hours; (D) In running water of sufficient velocity to flush particulates to the drain, if used with moist food such as ice cream or mashed potatoes; (E) In a clean, protected location if the utensils, such as ice scoops, are used only with a food that is not potentially hazardous (time/temperature control for safety food); or (F) In a container of water if the water is maintained at a temperature of at least 57°C (135°F) and the container is cleaned at a frequency specified under Subparagraph 4-602.11(D)(7). - 3-304.14 - Repeat Quaternary Ammonia sanitizer in the bucket observed at 400ppm++++.
Cloths in-use for wiping counters and other equipment surfaces shall be: (1) Held between uses in a chemical sanitizer solution at a concentration specified under section 4-501.114; and (2) Laundered daily as specified under paragraph 4-802.11(D). Soiled wiping cloths, especially when moist, can become breeding grounds for pathogens that could be transferred to food. Any wiping cloths that are not dry (except those used once and then laundered) must be stored in a sanitizer solution at all times, with the proper sanitizer concentration in the solution. Wiping cloths soiled with organic material can overcome the effectiveness of, and neutralize, the sanitizer. The sanitizing solution must be changed as needed to minimize the accumulation of organic material and sustain proper concentration. Proper sanitizer concentration should be ensured by checking the solution periodically with an appropriate chemical test kit. - 3-305.11 - Repeat Boxes of food observed on floor in walk-in freezer.
Store food where it is not exposed to splash, dust, or other contamination and/or install an approved, durable and cleanable barrier between the splash source and the food to prevent contamination. - 3-307.11 - Employees were working on tray of food which was stored on a trash can.
CORRECTED.Food shall be protected from contamination that may result from a factor or source not specified under Subparts 3-301 - 3-306. - 3-501.15A - Repeat Methods used for cooling chicken can not be accomplished with the time and temperature criteria.- Chicken observed individually wrapped and tightly packed prior to cooling to 41F. Chicken observed at 50F and was prepared a few hours prior.
CORRECTED.Cooling shall be accomplished in accordance with the time and temperature criteria specified under section 3-501.14 by using one or more of the following methods based on the type of food being cooled: (1) Placing food in shallow pans; (2) Separating the food into smaller or thinner portions; (3) Using rapid cooling equipment ; (4) Stirring the food in a container placed in an ice water bath; (5) Using containers that facilitate heat transfer; (6) Adding ice as an ingredient; or (7) Other effective methods. Alternatives to conventional methods include avoiding the need to cool larger masses by preparing smaller batches closer to periods of service or chilling while stirring hot food in containers within an ice water bath. Commercial refrigeration equipment is designed to hold cold food temperatures, not cool large masses of food. Rapid chilling equipment is designed to cool the food to acceptable temperatures quickly by using very low temperatures and high rates of air circulation. - 3-501.16A2 - Critical Repeat The following observed above 41F:- all foods in the two door prep- chicken (49F), tuna (50F), and egg, (49F) in top part of pantry prep.
Except during preparation, cooking, or cooling, or when time is used as the public health control as specified under section 3-501.19, and except as specified under paragraph (B) of this section, Potentially Hazardous Food (Time/Temperature Control for Safety Food) shall be maintained at 5°C (41°F) or less. Bacterial growth and/or toxin production can occur if potentially hazardous food (time/temperature control for safety food) remains in the temperature "Danger Zone" of 5°C to 57°C (41°F to 135°F) too long. Up to a point, the rate of growth increases with an increase in temperature within this zone. Beyond the upper limit of the optimal temperature range for a particular organism, the rate of growth decreases. Operations requiring heating or cooling of food should be performed as rapidly as possible to avoid the possibility of bacterial growth. - 4-202.16 - Milk crate observed used as a shelf for the storage of server trays at the expo area.
CORRECTED.Nonfood-contact surfaces shall be free of unnecessary ledges, projections, and crevices, and designed and constructed to allow easy cleaning and to facilitate maintenance. Hard-to-clean areas could result in the attraction and harborage of insects and rodents and allow the growth of foodborne pathogenic microorganisms. Well-designed equipment enhances the ability to keep nonfood-contact surfaces clean. - 4-302.14 - Repeat A test kit or other device that accurately measures the concentration of the sanitizing solution is not provided (need chlorine strips).
A test kit or other device that accurately measures the concentration in mg/L of sanitizing solutions shall be provided. Testing devices to measure the concentration of sanitizing solutions are required for 2 reasons: 1. The use of chemical sanitizers requires minimum concentrations of the sanitizer during the final rinse step to ensure sanitization; and 2. Too much sanitizer in the final rinse water could be toxic. - 4-501.11 - Repeat The following observed in need of repair:- baffle missing to exhaust hood- two door reach-in prep- drain tube is missing to soda gun at service bar closest to entry of kitchen.
Equipment shall be maintained in a state of repair and condition that meets the requirements specified under Parts 4-1 [Materials for Construction and Repair] and 4-2 [Design and Construction]. Proper maintenance of equipment to manufacturer specifications helps ensure that it will continue to operate as designed.

For example, refrigeration units in disrepair may no longer be capable of properly cooling or holding potentially hazardous (time/temperature control for safety) foods at safe temperatures. - 4-903.11 - Repeat Refrigeration and equipment lids observed on floor.
Cleaned equipment and utensils, laundered linens, and single-service and single-use articles shall be stored: (1) In a clean, dry location; (2) Where they are not exposed to splash, dust or other contamination; (3) At least 15 cm (6 inches) above the floor. Items that are kept in closed packages may be stored less than 15 cm (6 inches) above the floor on dollies, pallets, racks, and skids that are designed as specified under section 4-204.112. Clean equipment and multiuse utensils which have been cleaned and sanitized, laundered linens, and single-service and single-use articles can become contaminated before their intended use in a variety of ways such as through water leakage, pest infestation, or other insanitary condition. - 5-203.14A - Critical Repeat Observed that the pre-wash spray hose extend below the flood rim level of the sink basin at the prep sink.
Alter or repair the pre-wash spray hose component to provide the necessary separation between the water supply and the flood rim level of the sink basin or install an approved backflow prevention device. The minimum allowable separation distance must be at least 2x the diameter of the water supply inlet and at least 1 inch. - 6-301.12 - Repeat No paper towels at bar hand sink.
CORRECTED.Each handwashing sink or group of adjacent handwashing sinks shall be provided with: (A) Individual, disposable towels; (B) A continuous towel system that supplies the user with a clean towel; or (C) A heated-air hand drying device. - 6-501.11 - Grout is missing and a few floor tiles are damaged at entrance to kitchen.
Physical facilities shall be maintained in good repair. Poor repair and maintenance compromises the functionality of the physical facilities. This requirement is intended to ensure that the physical facilities are properly maintained in order serve their intended purpose. - 6-501.12 - Ceiling vents/exhausts in restrooms observed with large dust accumulation.
Physical facilities shall be cleaned as often as necessary to keep them clean. Cleaning of the physical facilities is an important measure in ensuring the protection and sanitary preparation of food. A regular cleaning schedule should be established and followed to maintain the facility in a clean and sanitary manner. - 6-501.16 - After use, the mop is not placed in a position that allows it to air-dry without soiling walls, equipment, or supplies.
CORRECTED.After use, mops shall be placed in a position that allows them to air-dry without soiling walls, equipment, or supplies. Mops can contaminate food and food preparation areas if not properly cleaned and stored after use. Mops should be cleaned and dried in a sanitary manner away from food flow areas. - 7-102.11 - Critical Repeat Working containers used for storing poisonous or toxic materials are not clearly and/or individually identified with the common name of the material.
Working containers used for storing poisonous or toxic materials such as cleaners and sanitizers taken from bulk supplies shall be clearly and individually identified with the common name of the material. It is common practice in food establishments to purchase many poisonous or toxic materials including cleaners and sanitizers in bulk containers. Working containers are frequently used to convey these materials to areas where they will be used, resulting in working containers being stored in different locations in the establishment. Identification of these containers with the common name of the material helps prevent the dangerous misuse of the contents.
