Inspection findings

Inspection date

Type

Abbreviations: PIC=person in charge
  • Sanitizing Solutions, Testing Devices (corrected on site)
    Observation: There is no properly working test kit provided in the facility for monitoring the concentration of the chemical sanitizing solutions. Test strips were out of date. PIC ordered new test strips.
    Correction: Obtain a SANITIZING AGENT test kit so that employees can accurately monitor the concentration of the sanitizing solutions and maintain them at a safe and effective level.
  • Equipment and Utensils, Air-Drying Required (repeated violation)
    Observation: Plastic food containers were found stacked while wet after cleaning and chemical sanitization.
    Correction: Items must be allowed to drain and air-dry before being stacked or stored to allow evaporation of chemical sanitizer and moisture that may encourage microbial growth.
  • Critical: Sanitizer - Criteria/Chemicals for food contact* (corrected on site)
    Observation: The quaternary ammonium sanitizer being applied to food contact surfaces does not meet the requirements of 40 CFR 180.940. Sanitizer was >500 ppm, manufacturer recommends between 150 ppm and 400 ppm. PIC corrected.
    Correction: Utilize only sanitizing agent that meet the requirements of 40 CFR 180.940 when applying to food contact surfaces

Follow up to previous inspection dated March 26, 2013. Items have been corrected except the above. The overall cleanliness and organization of the facility has greatly improved. Thank you!
The facility has switched to a Kay chemical chlorine based sanitizer. Test strips are provided. Facility mixes solutions to approximately 100 ppm. The 3-compartment sink was not set up during this inspection, so the solution was not tested. The wiping cloth buckets in the prep area measured 50 & 100 ppm chlorine.
Time as a Public Health Control is now being used for the sliced cheese, Tomatoes, and Lettuce on the sandwich line. The items were not labeled with the time however. Ensure foods are labeled with a 4 hour discard time.
The salad display cooler has been removed from the pass thru area to prevent employees up front from having to bend over to communicate with staff in the back. This was done to prevent hair contamination of foods in the pass thru. Front counter staff are not wearing hair restraints- they are limited to handling packaged foods (except fries) and dispensing beverages. I will consult with our office in Richmond to determine if this is acceptable.

  • Equipment - Cutting Surfaces (repeated violation)
    Observation: The cutting board along the salad prep unit is heavily scratched and scored. The food contact surface is no longer easily cleaned and sanitized due to condition. It appears that the board has been resurfaced since the last inspection, but is again scratched and scored.
    Correction: Resurface or discard and replace the cutting boards to provide a food contact surface that is smooth, easily cleaned and sanitized.
  • Equipment and Utensils, Air-Drying Required (corrected on site) (repeated violation)
    Observation: Hot holding trays stored above the 3-compartment sink were found stacked while wet after cleaning and chemical sanitization.
    Correction: Items must be allowed to drain and air-dry before being stacked or stored to allow evaporation of chemical sanitizer and moisture that may encourage microbial growth.

06/18/2013Complaint
This inspection is a follow-up to the February 15, 2013 inspection. The above items still require correction.
During the inspection of February 15, 2013 the person in charge was provided information on using time as a public health control (TPHC). It was recommended at this time to follow the guidelines for TPHC for the items held on ice in the sandwich make area such as cheese and tomatoes, but this has not been implemented. Due to continuing temperature problems, it is strongly recommended you use TPHC for these items.
