06/22/2015Routine
Discussed the following items with the Person in Charge:
1. Walk in Cooler compressor went down last week. A new compressor was installed, but it too is no longer functioning properly. All temperature control for safety foods have been removed from the walk in cooler and were observed holding at proper temperatures in other refrigeration units throughout the facility. Repair technician will be out to the facility later today to work on the walk in cooler.
2. Overall observed facility to be clean.
3. Observed significant amount of food preparation during today's inspection, as well as good food handling and hand washing practices.

  • Critical: Time as a Public Health Control* (corrected on site)
    Observation: Bacon for which time rather than temperature is being used as a control was not labeled or otherwise marked with a 4 hour cook, serve or discard by time.
    Correction: Discard food that is not cooked and served or served if ready-to-eat within 4 hours from the point in time when the food is removed from temperature control. Clearly label or otherwise mark the food with a 4-hour cook-serve or serve by time.
  • Equipment - Non-Food Contact Surfaces and Utensils (corrected on site)
    Observation: Surfaces of the rear panel of the bulk ice machine were observed soiled to sight and touch.
    Correction: Clean the surfaces of the interior of the ice machine at any time when contamination may have occurred, at least every 24 hours, before restocking the consumer self-service equipment/utensils, or per manufacturer specifications.
  • Outer Openings - Protected (repeated violation)
    Observation: Outer opening of the food establishment is not protected against entry of insects and rodents. Rear door of the facility does not seal completely.
    Correction: Protect the food establishment against the entry of insects and rodents by 1. Filling or closing holes and other gaps along floors, walls, and ceilings, 2. Closed, tight fitting windows, and 3. Solid, self-closing, tight-fitting doors. Insects and rodents are vectors of disease-causing microorganisms which may be transmitted to humans by contamination of food and food-contact surfaces.
  • Mops - Drying Mops (corrected on site)
    Observation: Mops not hung up to air dry.
    Correction: Wet use maintenance items such as mops must be hung in a position that allows them to air dry so they are not allowed to grow contamination which can then be spread through the establishment at the next use.
  • Pests - Controlling Pests*
    Observation: Fruiit flies are present in the facility. Observed methods being used. Continue working to eliminate harborage conditions.
    Correction: Eliminate harborage conditions. Insects and other pests are capable of transmitting disease to man by contaminating food and food-contact surfaces.

    Observation: Employees observed handling ready-to-eat (RTE) food with their bare hands. Observed employee use customer's drink cup to scoop ice out of the ice bin, allowing for her hands to come into direct contact with the ice.
    Correction: Provide suitable utensils such as deli tissue, spatulas, tongs, single-use gloves, or dispensing equipment to handle RTE food to prevent contamination from hands.
  • Critical: Time as a Public Health Control* (corrected on site)
    Observation: No written procedures for the use of time as a public health control with potentially hazardous foods. Facility is holding bacon on the prep line without temperature control. Bacon is not cooked until crisp. Person in Charge agreed to begin using a timer or labels to implement time as a public health control.
    Correction: Provide written procedures for the use of time as a public health control. The procedures must include the following steps or practices: a. Food must be marked with the time within which it must be cooked, served or discarded. b. The food is served or discarded within four hours from the time when the food is removed from temperature control c. Food in unmarked containers or packages, or for which the time expires is discarded and d.

  • Critical: Temperature, Cooking - Raw Animal Foods* (corrected on site)
    Observation: The comminuted or ground beef was not cooked to a sufficient temperature and time to eliminate pathogenic bacteria. Observed several of the 3 oz. hamburger patties being cooked to temperatures between 140 and 149'F after going through a conveyor belt grill. PIC adjusted timer to give the hamburger patties 20 seconds more in the grill and temperatures were measured at approximately 160 to 164'F on the second belt in from the left. The belt to the further left will not be used until the operator is able to verify it is working properly. This was discussed with the cook.
