Today I conducted a routine inspection and discussed with the certified food manager the following: 1. Management should reiterate the 5 major risk factors associated with foodborne illness with all staff frequently: Employee health policy, Personal hygiene, Contaminated equipment/utensils, Time/Temperature requirements for food and Unapproved food sources. 2. Management should calibrate all food thermometers at least once a week in an ice water bath to 32f to ensure accuracy. The thermometer should be washed, rinsed and sanitized before and after each use. 3. Management should obtain the heat labels (thermolabels) from the technician who services the heat sanitizing dish machine so they can check the machine daily to ensure it is functioning properly. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at 703-246-2444. Thank you.
- Handwashing Sink / Auto Shutoff Time at least 15 secs.
Observation: When timed, the automatic shut off faucet at the restroom hand sink did not provide a flow of water for at least 15 seconds without the need to reactivate the faucet.
Correction: A self-closing, slow-closing, or metering faucet shall provide a flow of water for at least 15 seconds without the need to reactivate the faucet. DISCUSSED WITH MANAGER. MANAGER WILL CALL FOR SERVICE TO HAVE THE METERED FAUCET ADJUSTED SO THAT WATER FLOWS FOR AT LEAST 15 SECONDS.
- Handwashing Signage at Handwashing Facilities Required
Observation: Observed no sign or poster that notifies food employees to wash their hands at the following hand sinks: 1. Front service counter area hand sink, 2. Restroom hand sink.
Correction: Provide a sign or poster at all handwashing sinks used by food employees that reminds food employees to wash their hands. DISCUSSED WITH MANAGER. MANAGER WILL ORDER AND POST NEW HAND WASHING SIGNS THAT REMIND EMPLOYEES TO WASH THEIR HANDS BEFORE RETURNING TO WORK.

The purpose of this visit was to perform a routine inspection. Thank you for your assistance in this process. Hot Water Heater: State SBF-75-120 NE Dish Machine: Lxi 30 HDP: hot water sanitizing. Did not pass thermolabel test, though producing steam. Rinse cycle is short, ~10 seconds. Data plate rating is 150F for wash (136 observed on digital readout) and 180F for rinse (confirmed according to digital readout). SET UP 3-COMPARTMENT SINK AND USE FOR SANITATION UNTIL SERVICE. HAVE TECHNICIAN STATE ON RECEIPT THAT MACHINE IS REACHING A MINIMUM OF 160F. Technician may contact EHS to consult on this recurrent problem. THE FOOD SERVICE ESTABLISHMENT IS NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH HAVING AN EMPLOYEE HEALTH POLICY. THE PERSON-IN-CHARGE IS TO PROVIDE TRAINING ON THE EMPLOYEE HEALTH POLICY WITHIN 14 CALENDAR DAYS (BY AUGUST 12, 2013). DOCUMENTATION (MEETING ATTENDANCE SHEET/SIGNED AGREEMENT FORM) IS TO BE SUBMITTED TO THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT WITHIN 14 DAYS BY FAX OR EMAIL THAT TRAINING HAS BEEN COMPLETED.

- Critical: Responsibility of PIC to Require Food Employees to Report GI Symptoms or Cuts, Disease, Medical Condition or Exposure to PIC (repeated violation)
Observation: Upon discussion with the person-in-charge, one or more of the elements of an effective employee health policy is either missing or incomplete. A complete employee health policy is required to be in place at the food establishment. At the time of this inspection, the Health Department provided and reviewed handouts and resource information in a red folder labeled "Employee Health Policy." Has "Red Folder" package but has not documented training.
Correction: A complete employee health policy must have the following elements:
1) Employee training on foodborne illness, particularly symptoms of illness and prevention of the Big Five illnesses (see "What is Foodborne Illness" handout)
- Critical: Sanitize / Hot Water / Mechanical/Thermolabel Test Verified (corrected on site) (repeated violation)
Observation: Due to improper operation of the hot water, mechanical warewashing machine, the thermolabel did not turn black, indicating that food-contact surfaces of equipment and utensils are not being adequately sanitized.
Correction: Immediately discontinue use of the dishmachine. Repair the dishmachine so that a thermolabel will turn black. Until the machine is adequately repaired, set up the 3 vat sink to manually wash, rinse and chemically sanitize food-contact surfaces. See note in "Comments" below regarding corrective action.
- Refuse Container with Cover/ Women's & Unisex Toilet Room
Observation: There is no covered refuse container for the disposal of feminine napkins in the unisex restrooml.
