Inspection findings

Inspection date

Type
The purpose of today's visit was to conduct a routine assessment in conjunction to a complaint investigation dated 1/11/16. The following suggestions have been made as a means to incorporate Active Managerial Control:
1. Ensure employees are reheating prepared items like tomato sauce and macaroni and cheese in the microwave oven rather than Alto Sham to ensure items are reheated to 165F or above in the proper time. Train employees to put items in the hot holding cabinet only after they have reached proper reheating temperatures.
2. Create a designated space for employee storage (i.e., bottom shelves in kitchen prep area) to avoid contamination of food and food contact surfaces.
Please send the following to the Health Department by 2/11/16:
1. Copy of CFM card
  • Critical: Hot Holding of Potentially Hazardous Food at 135°F or above (corrected on site)

    Correction: Potentially hazardous foods (time/temperature control for safety food) shall be hot held at a temperature of 135°F or above unless the permit holder is using "time as public health control" as specified under 3-501.19. ALL ITEMS REHEATED TO 165F OR ABOVE.
  • Certified Food Manager/Certificate Process

The purpose of today's visit was to conduct a risk factor assessment. The following practices are being used as a means to demonstrate Active Managerial Control:
1. Sanitizer concentration measured three times a day. Test strips kept on file for reference and accountability.
2. Food temperatures taken every 2 hours.
3. Food and equipment temperature logs maintained on file.
4. Segregation of raw protein and produce prep areas.
Please continue to use these methods as a way to promote public health.

The purpose of this visit was to conduct a routine assessment. Continue to employ current practices to ensure food safety. Please be advised to continually provide employee health training and education for employees. This will ensure that employee health policy is practiced throughout employment rather than only reviewed when hired. I look forward to your next assessment.
