Inspection findings

Inspection date

Type

Today I conducted a routine inspection and discussed with the certified food manager the following:
1. Management should reiterate the 5 major risk factors associated with foodborne illness with all staff frequently: Employee health policy, Personal hygiene, Contaminated equipment/utensils, Time/Temperature relationships for food and Unapproved food sources.
2. Management should calibrate all food thermometers at least once a week (or more often as needed) in an ice water bath to 32f to ensure accuracy when taking food temperatures. The ice water bath is a cup completely filled with ice and some cold water. The thermometers should be washed, rinsed and sanitized BEFORE and AFTER each use.
3. Management should continue to set up the 3-vat sink each morning to wash, rinse and sanitize. WASH in hot, soapy water. RINSE in hot, clean water and SANITIZE in cold water (65f-75f) and Quaternary Ammonium at a concentration of 150-400ppm. Change the water at the 3-vat sink and red sanitizer buckets for wet towels at least once every 2 hours or more often as needed.
4. Management should reiterate with staff how to cool down hot foods after service. See hand out provided.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at 703-246-2444. Thank you.

  • Cooling Methods (corrected on site)
    Observation: The following methods used for cooling were not adequate to facilitate proper cooling: 1. Containers of leftover rice with beans were found covered inside the walk-in refrigerator.
    Correction: Cooling hot foods shall be accomplished as follows: 1) placing the food in shallow pans
03/08/2016Routine
Today I conducted a routine inspection and discussed with the certified food manager the following:
1. Currently seafood is not served however staff ask for input from the students for changes in their menus. Students have requested the sale of seafood specifically sushi. I explained that if the cafeteria kitchen decides to serve sushi, the sushi would be prepared at a permitted, licensed commercial kitchen and they would need to provide the Parasite Destruction information for the seafood used in the sushi. The cafeteria kitchen would have to provide the Consumer Advisory information. If the cafeteria kitchen decides to serve just regular seafood that is supplied by the approved food vendor then all seafood should be fully cooked to an internal temperature of 145f for 15 seconds to avoid having the need for the Consumer Advisory and Parasite Destruction.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at 703-246-2444. Thank you.

  • Light Bulbs / Locations where Shielding is Required
    Observation: Light bulb(s) at station #3 where beverages are displayed 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. DISCUSSED WITH MANAGER. MANAGER WILL ORDER THE LIGHT SHIELDS.

10/06/2014Risk Factor
The purpose of this visit was to conduct a routine inspection. Management and food employees were reminded to test sanitizer levels with appropriate sanitizer test kits, depending on the type of sanitizer they are utilizing.
Thank you for your time today.

  • Critical: Chlorine Sanitizer Solution Concentration based on pH and Water Temp (corrected on site)
    Observation: When tested, the chlorine-based sanitizing solution was observed to be at a concentration less than what is required for effective sanitization of food-contact surfaces of equipment and utensils. Observed the bleach sanitizing solution at a total of 0 ppm chlorine.
    Correction: A chlorine-based sanitizing solution shall have a minimum concentration of at least 50 to100 ppm total chlorine when tested using the appropriate test kit. CHLORINE AT 100 PPM PROVIDED.
  • Handwashing Sink / Accessible at All Times (corrected on site)
    Observation: The handwashing facility located by the three-vat sink is blocked, preventing access by employees for easy handwashing.
    Correction: A handwashing sink shall be maintained so that it is accessible at all times for employee use. SANITIZER BUCKET BLOCKING THE HAND SINK WAS REMOVED.
  • Plumbing / Maintained in Good Repair
    Observation: Plumbing connections under the 3-vat sink piping are leaking.

05/02/2014Routine
The purpose of today's visit was to conduct a routine risk factor evaluation. Thank you for your assistance in this process.

No violation noted during this evaluation.
10/16/2013Risk Factor
The purpose of this visit was to conduct a routine inspection. Thank you for accompanying me and assisting in this inspection.
NOTE: Recurring cold holding violations may be prevented by rotating items between the cold hold areas of the service lines (incl. salad) and refrigeration units, by lowering the temperature of items prepared at room temperature in refrigeration units prior to placement on service line (service line cold holding will hold cool temperatures but will not sufficiently reduce food temperature from room temperature), and reducing refrigeration unit temperature.

  • Critical: Cold Holding of Potentially Hazardous Food at 41°F or less (repeated violation)
    Observation: The following food item(s) were observed cold holding at improper temperatures using a calibrated food temperature measuring device:
    1. Sliced tomato in sandwich containers, serve lines R, L at 43F,44F (Ambient for prep tops R,L - 36F,34F
    2. Sliced tomato at salad bar 43F

    Correction: Potentially hazardous foods (time/temperature control for safety food) shall be held cold at a temperature of 41°F or below unless the permit holder is using "time as public health control" as specified under 3-501.19 to limit bacteria growth. CORRECTIVE ACTION: Sandwich containers were rotated to refrigeration units. Salad bar tomatoes were placed in ice bath with tuna salad and pasta.
