Inspection findings

Inspection date

Type
A well-run, professional commercial kitchen that is clean, organized, and controlled. Staff are responsive, knowledgeable, and personable. Store management takes an active roll during inspections, being aware of food service risk factors and providing a second level of management to the food production operation.
No deficiencies noted.
No violation noted during this evaluation.		11/17/2015Routine
HACCP operation, with electronic, real-time monitoring and visual alerts to check temps and clean equipment. Operators are well-versed in KVAT requirements and food safety. Good sanitation and temperature control. Thermometer use is routine and frequent. Fried chicken station has seen improvement, with a new breading station in use. One R/I cooler is down for repairs, but adequate refrigeration was available and active managerial control was evident in their response to malfunctioning equipment. Overall, a well-managed operation with properly trained staff.
  • Critical: Equipment - Food Contact Surfaces and Utensils (corrected on site)
    Observation: Food contact surfaces of the potato slicer used to prepare potato wedges were observed soiled with accumulations of food residues that had been left on the equipment from a previous day's use.
    Correction: Clean food-contact surfaces of potato slicer no less than every 4 hours to prevent the growth microorganisms on those surfaces.
  • Non-Food Contact Surfaces
    Observation: The nonfood contact surface of the ice machine has accumulations of soil and organic residues.
    Correction: Clean the outside surfaces and the entire ice bin door at a frequency necessary to preclude accumulation of soil residues that become encrusted or attract insects and rodents.

Deli manager, Store Assistant Mgr, and Store Manager all took part in the inspection, and were found to be very knowledgeable about operations, food safety, temperature monitoring, and sanitation. K-VA-T policies are in place to provide food protection via staff training and temperature monitoring. Temp monitoring is by computerized digital probe, which records the temperature of the item in electronic records while reporting to the food handler if temps are appropriate, and what action should be taken. Operations manuals are available in both written and electronic training versions. Staff were immediately responsive to inspector's requests.
  • Utensils - In-Use - Between-Use Storage (corrected on site)
    Observation: Dispensing utensils improperly stored between uses.
    Correction: Store in-use utensils or dispensing utensils in one of the following manners: 1) In the food with their handles above the top of the food and the container. 2) In food that is not potentially hazardous with their handles above the top of the food within containers or equipment that can be closed. 3) 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 every 4 hours. 4) In running water of sufficient velocity to flush particulates to the drain. 5) In a clean, protected location if the utensils are used only with a food that is not potentially hazardous. 6) In a container of water if the water is maintained at a temperature of at least 135°F.
  • Physical Facilities - Cleaning Frequency and Restrictions
    Observation: Strip curtains in the walk-in cooler noted in need of cleaning.
    Correction: All floors, walls, and ceilings must 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.
