- Manual Warewashing/Sink Compartment Requirements
Observation: One stopper observed missing for the 3-compartment sink.
Correction: Except as specified in paragraph (C) of this section, a sink with at least 3 compartments shall be provided for manually washing, rinsing, and sanitizing equipment and utensils. The 3 compartment sink requirement allows for proper execution of the 3-step manual warewashing procedure. If properly used, the 3 compartments reduce the chance of contaminating the sanitizing water and therefore diluting the strength and efficacy of the chemical sanitizer that may be used. Alternative manual warewashing equipment, allowed under certain circumstances and conditions, must provide for accomplishment of the same 3 steps: 1. Application of cleaners and the removal of soil
- Equipment, Food-Contact Surfaces, Nonfood-Contact Surfaces, and Utensils/Clean
Observation: Interior of the refrigerator and refrigerator gaskets observed in need of cleaning.
Correction: Nonfood-contact surfaces of equipment shall be kept free of an accumulation of dust, dirt, food residue, and other debris. The objective of cleaning focuses on the need to remove soil from nonfood contact surfaces so that pathogenic microorganisms will not be allowed to accumulate and insects and rodents will not be attracted.
- Water/Capacity/Quantity and Availability
Observation: The hot water system was not properly working.
Correction: Hot water generation and distribution systems shall be sufficient to meet the peak hot water demands throughout the food establishment. Hot water required for washing items such as equipment and utensils and employees' hands, must be available in sufficient quantities to meet demand during peak water usage periods. Booster heaters for warewashers that use hot water sanitizing are designed to raise the temperature of hot water to a level that ensures sanitization. If the volume of water reaching the booster heater is not sufficient or hot enough, the required temperature for sanitization can not be reached. Manual washing of food equipment and utensils is most effective when hot water is used. Unless utensils are clean to sight and touch, they cannot be effectively sanitized.
- Plumbing System/Maintained in Good Repair
Observation: The waste tank valve was observed leaking and in need of repair.
Correction: A plumbing system shall be maintained in good repair. Improper repair or maintenance may result in the creation of obnoxious odors or nuisances, and may also adversely affect the operation of warewashing equipment or other equipment which depends on sufficient volume and pressure to perform its intended functions.
- Light Bulbs, Protective Shielding
Observation: The protective end caps were observed missing from the lights.
Correction: Light bulbs shall be shielded, coated, or otherwise shatter-resistant in areas where there is exposed food
