Observations discussed with manager.
  • Non-Food Contact Surfaces
    Observation: The nonfood contact surface of the chip storage bin has accumulations of grime and debris along some of its exterior surfaces (examples: door hinge, outer edges).
    Correction: Clean the surface at a frequency necessary to preclude accumulation of soil residues that become encrusted or attract insects and rodents.
  • Handwashing - Using a Handwashing Lavatory (corrected on site)
    Observation: The handwashing facility located at the back of the kitchen is blocked, preventing access by employees for easy handwashing.
    Correction: Access to the handwashing facilities identified above is to be available during all hours of operation. Remove the broom that is preventing its use.
  • Physical Facilities in Good Repair
    Observation: Some of the ceiling tiles in the cook/prep line are heat damaged, not maintained in good repair.
    Correction: Maintain physical facilities in good repair. Poor repair and maintenance compromises the functionality of the physical facilities.

    Correction: Store in-use utensils or dispensing utensils in one of the following manners: 1) In the food with their handles above the top of the food and the container. 2) In food that is not potentially hazardous with their handles above the top of the food within containers or equipment that can be closed. 3) On a clean portion of the food preparation table or cooking equipment only if the in-use utensil and the food-contact surface of the food preparation table or cooking equipment are cleaned and sanitized every 4 hours. 4) In running water of sufficient velocity to flush particulates to the drain. 5) In a clean, protected location if the utensils are used only with a food that is not potentially hazardous. 6) In a container of water if the water is maintained at a temperature of at least 135°F.
  • Food Storage - Clean and Dry Location (corrected on site)
    Observation: Food stored in a location where it is subject to splash, dust or other contamination (containers of chips under soiled utensils/containers, adjacent to dish washing area).
    Correction: Store food where it is not exposed to splash, dust, or other contamination to prevent contamination.
  • Critical: Cooling* (corrected on site)
    Observation: Cooked noodles noted not being adequately cooled to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria.
    Correction: Cool potentially hazardous foods from 135°F to 70°F within 2 hours and within a total of 6 hours from 135°F to 41°F. A longer time for cooling allows an ideal situation for bacterial growth. This has been shown to be the major contributing factor in many foodborne illnesses.
  • Critical: Food - Potentially Hazardous Food - Cold Holding* (corrected on site)
    Observation: Raw chicken cold holding at improper temperatures
    Correction: Discard the food and ensure that potentially hazardous foods for cold holding are maintained at 41°F or below to inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria.
  • Temperature Measuring Devices (corrected on site)
    Observation: There was no temperature measuring device located in the meat refrigerator by grill.
    Correction: Provide a temperature measuring device in all hot or cold holding equipment used to store potentially hazardous foods so that employees can routinely monitor the ambient air temperature.
