Overall mixed sanitation. Mixed employee health knowledge - flyer present - review with all staff. Good handwashing good glove use, sanitizer in place at (new batch made 300 ppm Quats) and used, good overall food temperatures, with one chicken patty cooked - appeared "stuck together" and undercooked, good time as a public health control, good storage and labeling. Improved cleaning needed with most critical areas pointed out - that may lead to food contamination, flies present at least 5-6, and some equipment maintenance issues noted. Lighting over lobby self serve area for drinks napkins with 3 lights, unable to tell if shatterproof bulbs - shatterproof bulbs needed. Follow up in 1 month for maintenance issues, critical cleaning and flies and check procedure for cooking patties. All food temperatures taken with EHS thermocouple calibrated at 32.0 F.
  • Critical: Food - Packaged and Unpackaged - Separation, Packaging, and Segregation*
    Observation: The following issues noted that can lead to food contamination:
    -Uncovered food out for service - two trays of bacon and tray of cookies
    -*areas that are touched by workers while preparing sandwiches soiled and some in poor condition - unlikely able to sanitize
    -Build up of dust above sandwich preparation line

    Correction: *Food out uncovered placed in covered bins
    *Button pads and microwave buttons etc. sanitized (suggest cover damaged pads with plastic wrap and change no less than every 4 hours - more frequent with flies present until units can be repaired or replaced.
    *High cleaning cannot be done until facility closed (will check during follow up)
  • Critical: Temperature, Cooking - Raw Animal Foods* (corrected on site)
    Observation: Three chicken patties (raw frozen) placed in basket in fryer. When finished by timer - two patties almost completely on top of each other. Single patty well cooked at >199 F stem temp x 15 secs, Top patty of two together stared in 50's, up to 80's 90's then high of 119 F > 15 secs when taken apart visibly raw. Bottom patty 136 stem temp x 15 secs.
    Correction: Two remaining patties put back in fryer with > 200 stem temp x 15 secs. Third patty discarded. Discussed procedure with manager - fryer utensil that has slots and would prevent patties sticking together used for other items ie fish patties - with good final cook temperatures.

Good food temperatures, sanitizer in place at 100 and 200 ppm Cl and used, food contact surfaces clean *Discussed, ensure all equipment handles and buttons etc. that are touched in the course of food handling especially with food gloves on are cleaned and sanitized at the same time as other food contact surfaces**., **Also Discussed, until flies under control (not present), ensure all food preparation surfaces and in use utensils are sanitized much more frequently than normal. Good labeling for using time as a public health control, a written policy for using time is needed, suggest writing out basic and simple rules for using time and posting by poster listing Burger King holding times for different foods. Good date labels, good glove use and excellent handwashing observed.

    Observation: Repair for ice machine drain started several months ago with tile removed from storeroom area and covered with plywood. Plywood still in place, and unable to be moved and area checked during inspection.
    Correction: Ensure repairs are completed immediately and floor tile replaced. Keeping plywood on the floor (in this case under a heavy shelf) allows debris and water to go under the wood, and may result in rotted material under the plywood.
