- Critical: Demonstration of Knowledge* (corrected on site)
Observation: The person in charge failed to describe the symptoms associated with diseases that are transmissible through food.
Correction: Ensure the designated person in charge (PIC) is knowledgeable about foodborne disease prevention, Hazardous Analysis Critical Control Point principles and Regulation requirements. The PIC should be prepared to recognize conditions that may contribute to foodborne illness. The PIC must also recognize conditions that fail to comply with Regulation requirements and be authorized to take the appropriate preventive and corrective actions to ensure that the Regulations' objectives are fulfilled.
- Critical: Employee Health* (corrected on site) (repeated violation)
Observation: Employees or applicants are not aware of the reporting procedures concerning information about their health as they relate to the symptoms caused by illness, infection, or other source that is associated with an acute gastrointestinal illness or a lesion.
Correction: Have the license holder require employees or applicants report to the person in charge if they are experiencing the following symptoms or conditions: (1) diarrhea, fever, vomiting, jaundice, or sore throat with fever. (2) A lesion containing pus such as a boil or infected wound that is open or draining and is on the hands or wrists, unless an impermeable cover such as a finger cot or stall protects the lesion and a single-use glove is worn over by an impermeable cover or on other parts of the body, unless the lesions covered by a dry durable, tight-fitting bandage.
- Critical: Employee Health* (corrected on site) (repeated violation)
Observation: Employees or applicants are not aware of the reporting procedures concerning information about their health and activities as they relate to diseases that are transmissible through food, including the date of onset of jaundice or of an illness due to Salmonella Typhi, Shigella spp., Escherichia coli O157:H7, Hepatitis A virus or Norovirus

- Critical: Cooling* (corrected on site)
Observation: Ambient temperature or pre-chilled waffle batter (50 F @ 24 hrs) not being adequately cooled to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria.
Correction: Cool potentially hazardous foods prepared from pre-chilled ingredients or ingredients at ambient temperature to 41°F or below within 4 hours. 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. Waffle batter was discarded.
- Critical: Date Marking - Ready-to-Eat - Potentially Hazardous Food - Date Marking* (corrected on site)
Observation: The prepared ready-to-eat (RTE) waffle batter prepared in bulk proportions in the refrigeration unit is not properly dated for disposition.
Correction: Mark the name and "consume by" date on the container of RTE foods at the time of preparation if the food is to be held for more than 24 hours. If the food is held at 41°F or below the food shall be served or sold within 7 calendar days. Some harmful bacteria continue to grow even at refrigeration temperatures so limiting the amount of time in storage limits the amount of growth allowed for these bacteria.
- Critical: Time as a Public Health Control* (corrected on site)
Observation: Butters and cream cheeses for which time rather than temperature is being used as a control are not being discarded at end of 4 hour period.
Correction: Butters and cream cheeses were taken off of the time control policy and will be kept on ice for proper cold holding.
- Temperature - Food Temperature Measuring Devices - Provided
Observation: The person in charge could not provide a food temperature measuring device.
Correction: Obtain at least one food temperature measuring device so employees can properly monitor the temperature of food items in the establishment.
- Sanitizing Solutions, Testing Devices
Observation: There is no properly working test kit provided in the facility for monitoring the concentration of the chlorine sanitizing solutions at the dishmachine.
