Discussed with the owner/PIC about the necessity of having a servesafe certified manager and that someone from the establishment will be required to attend the course. We also discussed the need to immediately begin cleaning the establishment and removing/organizing items in the kitchen area. A follow-up will be conducted on June 4th and all violations should be corrected with the exception of the replacement of the broken flooring tiles. The flooring issues must be corrected within 30 days.
- Person in Charge
Observation: Employees are not aware of or are not practicing proper methods to rapidly cool potentially hazardous food (PHF).
Correction: Ensure employees are using proper methods to rapidly cool PHF that are not held hot or are not for consumption within 4 hours, through daily oversight of the employees' routine monitoring of food temperatures during cooling.
- Person in Charge
Observation: Employees are not properly trained in food safety as it relates to their assigned duties.
Correction: Train all employees in food safety as it relates to their assigned duties.
- Critical: Cooling*
Observation: Baked Potatoes and Potato/Onion Soup noted not being adequately cooled to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria.
Correction: Cool potentially hazardous foods from 135°F to 70°F within 2 hours and within a total of 6 hours from 135°F to 41°F. 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.
- Cooling Methods (repeated violation)
Observation: The methods used for cooling were not adequate.
Correction: Cool foods by the following methods: 1. Placing food in shallow pans 2. Separating food into smaller thinner portions 3. Using rapid chill cooling equipment 4. Stirring the food in a container placed in an ice water bath 5. Using containers that facilitate heat transfer 6. Adding ice as an ingredient 7. Any other method that can effectively accomplish cooling.
- Critical: Food - Potentially Hazardous Food - Hot Holding* (repeated violation)
Observation: Tator tot cassarole hot holding at improper temperatures.
Correction: Rapidly reheat the food to 165°F and maintain at 135°F or above through the hot holding period.
- Critical: Food - Potentially Hazardous Food - Cold Holding*
Observation: Pancake Batter was being stored on the cookline, unrefrigerated and not being controlled for temperature at all.
Correction: Discard the food and ensure that potentially hazardous foods for cold holding are maintained at 41°F or below to inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria.
- Critical: Food-PHF/TCS-Cold Holding-shell eggs
Observation: Observed raw shell eggs not stored in any refrigeration equipment and not being temperature controlled at all.
Correction: Store raw shell eggs in refrigerated equipment capable of maintaining ambient air temperatures of 45°F or less
- Critical: Ready-to-Eat - Potentially Hazardous Food - Disposition*
Observation: According to the ""consume by"" date on the prepared ready-to-eat (RTE) roast beef and meat loaf in the walk-in cooler, the food should have been discarded several days ago.
Correction: Discard the food at this time and ensure all prepared RTE food is served, sold or discarded by the ""consume by"" date. 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: Warewashing - Manual & Mechanical Warewashing Equipment, Chemical Sanitization - Temperature, pH, Concentration & Hardness* (corrected on site)
Observation: Chlorine sanitizing solution used was not at an acceptable concentration.
Correction: Immediately discontinue the use of the machine until it is operating in accordance with minimum requirements. Initiate manual wash, rinse, and sanitize method to properly clean and sanitize equipment and utensils. To minimize workload you can move to all single service utensils.
- Critical: Equipment - Food Contact Surfaces, Nonfood Contact Surfaces, and Utensils*
Observation: The following equipment food-contact surfaces were observed soiled to sight and touch: Meat Grinder, Meat Slicer, Commercial Can Opener, Sand. Prep cutting board.
Correction: Clean and sanitize these surfaces for food contact.
- Non-Food Contact Surfaces
Observation: The nonfood contact surfaces throughout the entire kitchen has accumulations of grime and debris.
Correction: Clean the surface at a frequency necessary to preclude accumulation of soil residues that become encrusted or attract insects and rodents.
- Equipment and Utensils, Air-Drying Required
Observation: Lexan containers were found stacked while wet after cleaning and chemical sanitization.
Correction: Items must be allowed to drain and air-dry before being stacked or stored to allow evaporation of chemical sanitizer and moisture that may encourage microbial growth.
- Equipment, Utensils, Linens, and Single-Service and Single-Use Articles
Observation: Single service items observed unprotected from contamination.
Correction: Store single service items in its original protective packaging or inverted in an approved dispenser.
- Sewage - Other Liquid Wastes and Rainwater

Correction: Repair/Relocate the condensate drain line to prevent liquid waste discharge onto the floor surface.
- Toilet Room Receptacle Covered
Correction:
- Toilet Room Receptacle Covered
Observation: There is no covered refuse container for the disposal of feminine napkins in the ladies room stall.
Correction: Install a covered refuse container for the disposal of feminine napkins in the ladies room stall.
- Physical Facilities in Good Repair
Observation: Observed sections of floor tiles either missing or broken along with uncovered holes in the ceiling.
Correction: Maintain physical facilities in good repair. Poor repair and maintenance compromises the functionality of the physical facilities.
- Physical Facilities - Cleaning Frequency and Restrictions
Observation: Floors, steps, and shelving throughout the entire kitchen were observed in need of cleaning.
Correction: All floors, walls, and ceilings must be cleaned as often as necessary to keep them clean. Cleaning of the physical facilities is an important measure in ensuring the protection and sanitary preparation of food. A regular cleaning schedule should be established and followed to maintain the facility in a clean and sanitary manner.
- Premises - Maintaining Premises - Unnecessary Items and Litter
Observation: Facility is storing unnecessary items to the operation or maintenance of the establishment.
Correction: Remove all unnecessary items from the facility. The presence of unnecessary articles, including equipment which is no longer used, makes regular and effective cleaning more difficult and less likely. It can also provide harborage for insects and rodents.
