A small kitchen serving a brisk business, this facility remains clean, organized, and well-run. Staff are responsive, knowledgeable, and personable, with great eagerness to advance their knowledge of food safety. Allergen control programs are in place, and staff are versed in established procedures in response to customers with food allergies/intolerances. Temperature control throughout the facility was flawless, and thorough routine cleaning prevents buildup of soil in background areas. Storage building has been resurfaced with new metal since the last inspection, sealing the roof. No deficiencies noted. No violation noted during this evaluation. | 12/09/2015 | Routine | |
Inspection was in response to a complaint of possible foodborne illness (not doctor-confirmed) in two individuals who had shared a meal of stromboli and calzone from Ciro's of Galax on 23-Feb-2015. An additional third individual stated she received a spoiled salad the same night, but she did not eat it and Ciro's replaced it with a fresh one free of charge. EHS found no significant problems that would likely lead to a foodborne illness. Discussed with manager need to tightly control reheating and hot holding of sauces used in the calzone and stromboli, and to ensure proper sanitation during food handling. At inspection, reheating, cooking, cooling, hot holding, and cold holding were being properly executed and monitored. Sanitation was improved since the last inspection, with bright clean floors, and a very clean grill/fryer area. Employees appeared in good health, with proper glove use.

Inspection found improved sanitation procedures in place in kitchen, with bright, clean floors, and a grill/fry area with clean backsplash free of grease residues. The dishwashing procedure is now correct, with separate wash/rinse/ sanitize steps in place. Reminder to manager that a free-flowing water rinse is preferred over a dip rinse, as a dip rinse tends to recoat dishes with a thin film of grease. Staff are well-trained and able to properly respond to questions about employee health and food safety. Temperature control in the facility is good, with proper procedures in place for rapidly cooling bulk production lots, and correct reheating to hot hold witnessed during inspection. Note to manager: Obtain a new thermometer for checking cook/reheating temps. Must be accurate to +/-2 degrees F, and have range of at least 28-200F, with 2 degree increments. A digital thermometer with a thin tip, appropriate for checking temps of thin foods like burgers and chicken patties, would be ideal. Thermometer should be maintained in clean, sanitized condition at all times, and calibrated routinely in ice water (32F in ice water slurry). Initial use at start of day should entail a wash/rinse/sanitize of the probe, and during use, wiping down of the probe with an alcohol prep pad (70% isopropyl alcohol) between in-temp ready to eat foods.
