Inspection findings

Inspection date

Type

All food temperatures taken were internal.
This inspection was a risk factor inspection that focused on the 5 risk factors for foodborne illness (food from unapproved sources, inadequate cooking temperatures, inadequate holding temperatures, improper employee health and hygiene, and cross contamination of food and equipment). Good retail practices (GRPS) observed were discussed with operator and/or staff at time of evaluation. Some of the GRP's observed were: the garbage disposal shoot that is situated on the right side drain board is covered with tape and plastic- this is not an approved material and traps water/food debris, paint peeling off of some walls, some floor tiles damaged, coving loose under three compartment sink, moldy peppers left in refrigerator, hood system over cook line and stove does not turn on, wooden platform ice bin sets on is worn and needs to be resealed, the inside of all cabinets are noted in need of cleaning (dust/debris), hood filters dusty, some of the refrigerator/freezer door gaskets are soiled, the paint is peeling of paddle utensils, some utensil storage containers are noted in need of cleaning.

  • Critical: Food - Potentially Hazardous Food - Cold Holding*
    Observation: Milk- 48*F, milk- 48*F, and sour cream-48*F cold holding at improper temperatures in the front double door refrigerator on the left.
    Correction: Relocate food to a refrigeration unit that is capable of maintaining food storage at 41°F or below. Foods were relocated to another unit next to it.
  • Equipment - Non-Food Contact Surfaces and Utensils (corrected on site)
    Observation: Ice bin inner lip soiled.
    Correction: Clean the surface at any time when contamination may have occurred, at least every 24 hours, before restocking the consumer self-service equipment/utensils, or per manufacturer specifications.
  • Critical: Sanitizer - Criteria/Chemicals for food contact* (corrected on site)
    Observation: Chlorine bleach sanitizer used to wash dishes and wipe down food contact surfaces is too strong at 200+ ppm.
    Correction: Ensure sanitizer is between 50-150 ppm.
10/23/2015Risk Factor
All food temperatures taken were internal. Due to the age of the building, the facility does not comply with current code requirements. In the event of a change in operator or remodeling, the facility must be brought up to the current code requirements. This may include the addition of one or more handsinks, improved lighting, repair of structural deficiencies, and repair or replacement of damaged equipment, {and proper installation of laundry facilities—for schools}.
  • Nonfood-Contact Surfaces - Corrosion Resistant/Nonabsorbent
    Observation: The following nonfood contact surfaces are not corrosion resistant, nonabsorbent, and/or smooth: The plastic liner on food scale in cookline drawer, the tape on prep table next to ice machine and oven handle and the paint is peeling off of wooden platform to ice machine (exposing bare wood).
    Correction: Nonfood contact equipment that is exposed to splash, spillage, food soiling, or requires frequent cleaning must be smooth, durable, and nonabsorbent.
