| Today I conducted a routine inspection and no events were taking place today. I discussed with the certified food manager the following: 1. Management should reiterate the 5 major risk factors contributing to foodborne illness with staff frequently: Employee health policy, Personal hygiene, Contaminated equipment/utensils, Time/Temperature relationships for food and Unapproved food sources. 2. Management should calibrate any food thermometers at least once a week in an ice water bath to 32f to ensure accuracy. The ice water bath is a cup completely filled with ice and some cold water. The thermometers should be washed, rinsed and sanitized before and after each use. 3. Management should set up the 3-vat sink each morning they have an event. WASH in hot, soapy water. RINSE in hot, clean water and SANITIZE in cold water (65f-75f) and Quaternary Ammonium at a concentration of 200-400ppm or per manufacturer's specifications. The water at the 3-vat sink and red sanitizer buckets used for storage of wet towels should be changed at least every 2 hours or more often as needed. 4. Management should turn on the heat sanitizing dish machine and booster heater in the morning of an event to allow time to warm up. Once the machine is warmed up, staff should use the required heat tapes to ensure the machine is functioning properly to heat sanitize all equipment and utensils. At this time the kitchen facility is not in use. Facility provides catered food like salads, deli sandwiches and cookies to customers from a licensed establishment here in the county and the food is set out buffet style using "time as a public health control." Documentation is provided and staff are aware of the time frame allowed for food service and when to discard items. The staff only provide beverages like bottled water, sodas and coffee. The only equipment washed, rinsed and sanitized at the heat sanitizing dish machine include coffee mugs and carraffes for milk/cream. During today's inspection the dish machine was not being used and therefore was not turned on. Staff were instructed to turn on the machine well in advance to allow it to warm up and meet the required wash and final rinse temperatures before use. In addition staff were informed of needing to have the thermolabels (heat tapes) to ensure the machine is functioning properly before the start of the new year. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at 703-246-2444. Thank you. No violation noted during this evaluation. | 02/05/2016 | Routine | |
