In the kitchen there is a fly strip over the dough machine. Discussed not having fly strips where there is food or food contact surfaces.
There are mop heads at the bottom of the reach in coolers for the pizza and sandwich stations. There is some sort of moisture issue as there is an accumulation of water at the bottom of these units. Per manager she has a work order in to get this addressed.
The handles of the reach in coolers have some buildup. I also noticed some dead flies on shelves in the kitchen.
There are crickets throughout the facility. Per manager they came the end of last week and she has had trouble getting rid of them. She said she's been working on keeping the facility very clean to help with the issue. There are also flies in the kitchen. Discussed covering all foods and utensils to help prevent them contaminating food. Make sure you are monitoring the kitchen for dead insects whether they die on their own or are stepped on. Discussed not using certain pesticides as they aren't approved for food contact surfaces. If you are unable to get the cricket situation under control you may have to contact a licensed pest company.
There is coving coming off by the mop sink. The manager is aware and is planning on fixing it.
There were jackets stored by single service storage. Per manager the facility has hooks for employee's belongings.

Facility's metal stemmed thermometer was not properly calibrated. One thermometer read 20f in an ice water bath. The other was properly calibrated at 32f. Make sure thermometers are checked at least weekly or if they're dropped.
Observed employee improperly washing their hands. She turned off the faucet with her hands instead of paper towels. Another employee did wash their hands properly. All employees must be able to wash their hands properly. You need to train employees on how to properly wash their hands emphasizing using a paper towel to turn off the faucet. Once you have trained employees I want you to watch every employee properly wash their hands and send me documentation of this by 2-4-15.
Kitchen employee couldn't locate the facility's quat test strips.
Under the soft serve ice cream machine in the cabinet there was a container of sanitizer cleaner stored with the single service ice cream cups. The cleaner was moved. There was also a bottle of lube used for the machinery and per manager is food grade so safe to be stored with the cups. Discussed having all cleaning products stored away from single service articles.
