RECOMMENDATIONS and REMINDERS: 1) Please use test strips to check sanitizer solutions at least once a day. 2) Monitor and log temperatures for cold holding, hot holding, cooling and receiving. 3) Clean ice bins and soda guns regularly to make sure there is no mold on the inner surfaces. Also, make sure the milk tube for the espresso machine is wiped using sanitizer solution. (Note: Time includes inspection time only).
- Critical: Date Marking of Refrigerated, Ready-to-Eat PHF (TCS Food) (corrected on site)
Observation: The following refrigerated, ready-to-eat, potentially hazardous food that is commercially processed is not used or discarded within 24 hours of when the original container was opened and is not observed to be date marked: Mozzarella cheese was opened on Monday.
Correction: Refrigerated, ready-to-eat, potentially hazardous commercially processed foods when opened and kept for more than 24 hours cannot have a shelf-life of more than 7 days, including the day of the original container was opened. These food items must be marked with either the "consume-by" date and/or "preparation" date, color-coded labels, or another marking system/method that effectively indicates shelf-life that is clearly understood and properly used by the employees. This date cannot exceed any manufacturer determined "use-by" date based on food safety.
- Critical: Chlorine Sanitizer Solution Concentration based on pH and Water Temp (corrected on site)
Observation: When tested, the low temperature, chemical sanitizing warewashing machine was observed with a sanitizing rinse concentration of less than 50 ppm chlorine solution.
Correction: Immediately discontinue use of the dishmachine. Until the machine is adequately repaired, set up the three-compartment sink to manually wash, rinse and sanitize food-contact surfaces using a sanitizing solution at the proper concentration of at least 50 to 100 ppm total chlorine. Note: Wrong chemical was being used, changed the container and it was sanitizing at 100 ppm. Also, the quaternary ammonia dispenser at 3-vat sink was observed dispensing at 0 ppm. Note: Changed the container of the sanitizer and it was dispensing at 200 ppm.
- Light Bulbs / Locations where Shielding is Required
Observation: Light bulbs in the kitchen above the mop sink are not covered by a protective shielding.
Correction: Provide light bulbs that are shielded, coated, or otherwise shatter-resistant in areas where there is exposed food, clean equipment, utensils, linens, or unwrapped single-service and single-use articles.
