  • Critical: Hands - When to Wash* (corrected on site)
    Observation: Observed the cook don gloves to begin food prep and a waitress don gloves to handle ready-to-eat foods without first washing their hands. Discussed handwashing training with the person in charge.
    Correction: Instruct food employees to clean their hands and exposed portions of their arms immediately before engaging in food preparation including working with exposed food, clean equipment and utensils, and unwrapped single-service and single-use articles and during food preparation, as often as necessary to remove soil and contamination and to prevent cross contamination when changing task.
  • Critical: Cooling* (corrected on site)
    Observation: Marinara sauce (59'F) prepared the previous day stored in the walk-in cooler was noted not being adequately cooled to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria. PIC discarded the sauce during the inspection. Cooling methods discussed.
    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.
  • Critical: Time as a Public Health Control* (corrected on site) (repeated violation)
    Observation: Pizza (sold by the slice) 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. Sliced pizza was labeled with the correct time during the inspection.
    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.
  • Critical: Food - Consumption of Raw or Undercooked Animal Foods
    Observation: A review of the specials board with the foodservice operator indicates that there is no consumer advisory for the steak that may be served raw and/or undercooked.
    Correction: If an animal food such as beef, eggs, fish, lamb, milk, pork, poultry, or shellfish is served or sold raw or undercooked the permit holder shall inform consumers of the significantly increased risk of consuming such foods by way of a disclosure and reminder using brochures, deli case or menu advisories, label statements, table tents, placards, or other effective written means.
  • Handwashing Lavatory, Water Temperature, and Flow
    Observation: Water from the handwashing sink in the warewashing area measured at a temperature less than 100°F. There was no hot water supply to the handsink. All employees were directed to use the other handsink in the kitchen. PIC contacted a repair company during the inspection.
    Correction: Make necessary adjustments to valves and lines serving the handsink to provide water of at least 100°F to allow more effective removal of fatty soils encountered in kitchens.

    Observation: The prepared ready-to-eat (RTE) lasagna and cooked pasta servings in the walk-in cooler are not properly dated for disposition. Discusses date marking with the PIC.
    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) (repeated violation)
