The purpose of today's visit was to conduct a routine inspection in conjunction with the investigation of a complaint of alleged foodborne illness. All noted violations were corrected during the inspection. Thank you for your compliance.
Train all employees on proper immersion times for sanitizing equipment as it appears that all employees wash some utensils on occasion.
Instruct employees to wash hands before placing on new gloves. If employees switch tasks less often, the need to change gloves so frequently will decrease.

  • Critical: Handwashing / When to wash hands (corrected on site)
    Observation: Observed an employee don a new pair of gloves without first washing his hands.
    Correction: ALL food employees shall wash their hands OFTEN especially after handling trash, using the restroom, handling raw meats, handling soiled equipment and utensils, BEFORE putting on clean gloves, etc. Proper handwashing frequencies will aid in the reduction of foodborne illness. NOTE: Limit switching of tasks so that glove changing is not as frequent.
  • Critical: Sanitize/Chemical/Manual & Mechanical/Concentration & Exposure Time (corrected on site)
    Observation: Chemical sanitizer immersion time was not adequate for the pizza cutter at the three-compartment sink. Observed the cutter dipped in the sanitizer solution for less than 5 seconds.
    Correction: Chemical sanitization (manual or mechanical operations) including the application of sanitizing chemicals by immersion, manual swabbing, brushing, or pressure spraying methods using a solution by providing: 1) an exposure time of at least 10 seconds for a chlorine solution, 2) an exposure time of at least 7 seconds for a chlorine solution of 50mg/L that has a pH of 10 or less and a water temperature of 100°F or a pH of 8 or less and a water temperature of 75°F, 3) an exposure time of at least 30 seconds for other chemical sanitizing solutions, or 4) an exposure time used in relationship with a combination of temperature, concentration, and pH that when evaluated for efficacy yields sanitization.
