HACCP:  Handwashing

Quats is the sanitizer used in the establishment

Frozen foods were stored frozen

Note:  On-site inspection conducted in conjunction with RFS 15-0533, in which complainant stated that, "On Sunday, November 29th, 2015 at approximately 6:30 p.m., I went through drive-thru and watched an employee drop a small container of individual salad dressing for to-go salads on the floor. Employee picked the small container back up off the floor and put it into a drawer with other to-go salad dressing containers."  Complainant was concerned that this practice could contaminate to go salads since the dressing container is packaged on top of the actual salad. Discussed complaint with shift supervisor, who stated that it is not Panera practice to keep any containers that have touched the ground or have became contaminated in any way.  Shift supervisor stated that she would revisit food safety basics with staff and remind them that any containers that are dropped should be discarded immediately. Did not observe any violations of this sort during routine inspection.  Recommend complaint be closed. SS
