Professionally operated commercial kitchen. Manager is knowledgeable and responsive. Facility is clean, organized, and controlled. HACCP review: HACCP plan cook/reheating log refrigeration logs thermometer calibration logs time as phc log Also conducted at this time was a school maintenance inspection, separate from the food inspection. Noted at this inspection were: a number of bathrooms have handsinks with push valves that are damaged or provide <20 seconds of continuous flow. Ensure all sinks have flowing hot and cold water. showers in the high school have green copper staining across the floors. girls high school locker room showers and curtains missing hooks girls locker room has a shower stall with badly rusted metal frame support, posing a risk of injury to barefoot students. Seal rust and re-case support base. one water fountain is repaired with duct tape, which does not provide a smooth and easily cleanable surface. Remove duct tape and repair unit properly. Critical: Sanitizer - Criteria/Chemicals for food contact (corrected on site) Observation: Chlorine sanitizer in sani-bucket was at >200ppm concentration. Visibly yellow, the sanitizer had to be diluted with water 6x to get concentration down to 100ppm. Correction: Ensure sanitizers are of proper strength by testing with appropriate test strips. Sanitizer was diluted until correct concentration was achieved.	02/04/2016	Routine
A professionally run commercial kitchen with well-trained staff. Facilities are organized, clean, well stocked, with good lighting. Dish machine is still present but non-functional, with no funds available for repair. For the foreseeable future, all dishes are being handwashed. HACCP records review: Equipment temps, cook log, reheating. Reminder to management: ensure hair restraints fully enclose trailing hair. Many staff have hairnets perched on the far back on their heads in order to have hair styles unfettered. Loose hair must be contained. Also, ensure that a separate cooling log is maintained for foods undergoing cooling, and that the reheating log documents a start and end time (to prove the 2 hours to reheat was in compliance). Plumbing System Maintained in Good Repair (corrected on site) Observation: Plumbing connections at the employee toilet are leaking from the handle to the bowl, then running down to the floor. At inspection, water was slowly streaming across the floor, causing staff to track restroom soils back into the kitchen. Correction: Plumbing systems and components shall be maintained in good repair. Maintenance staff began repairs immediately. EHS instructed staff to sanitize floors to prevent tracking soils into kitchen.	09/01/2015	Routine
Well run, professionally operated commercial kitchen with knowledgeable staff. Facility is spacious, organized, and well stocked, but maintenance is badly needed to prevent environmental contamination from reaching food prep areas. Active roof leaks should be repaired as soon as they are noticed, as they pose a very real threat of contamination. S. Munsie notified of problems at time of inspection so that corrections may be begun ASAP. Equipment - Food Contact Surfaces, Nonfood Contact Surfaces, and Utensils Observation: The vent filter pads on the exhaust hood of the cook area are heavily soiled and in need of cleaning. The heavy accumulation of soils is blocking proper function of the hood, causing condensate to stream from the inside of the hood and drip to the floor. Correction: Clean the filter pads and replace. Ensure air flow of exhaust hood is adequate to prevent the formation of condensate drip. Backflow Prevention Device, Design Standard Observation: Mopsink does not have a properly functioning backflow preventer installed. Correction: Provide the approved backflow or backsiphonage device for the specific application and type of device to prevent contamination of the drinking water system. Indoor Areas - Surface Characteristics Observation: The indoor wall material (plywood installed to cover a window) does not meet the standard of: 1. smooth, durable and easily cleanable 2. nonabsorbent Correction: Refinish or replace the wall material at the area designated so it is: 1. smooth, durable and easily cleanable 2. nonabsorbent Physical Facilities in Good Repair Observation: Peeling paint on the kitchen ceiling is dangling in tatters. Correction: Eliminate peeling paint and re-seal surface to be smooth and easily cleanable. Physical Facilities in Good Repair Observation: Roof is not maintained in good repair. The roof over the kitchen is leaking rainwater to the food-prep area, causing ceiling damage and dripping environmental water down the surface of the exhaust hood to the kitchen floor. Accumulations of rain minerals indicate this has been occurring over some time. More damaged ceiling tiles over the lunch room show water damage and mold. Correction: Maintain physical facilities in good repair. Repair leaking roof. Remove damaged and moldy tiles. Remove makeshift patch on ceiling. Physical Facilities in Good Repair Observation: Dried food residues and /or chewing gum are on the floors of the cafeteria. Correction: Eliminate food residues and dried chewing gum from floors of cafeteria. Physical Facilities in Good Repair Observation: Non-functional lights over steam cabinet and locker area. Correction: Replace blown light bulbs and/or repair non-functional lighting.	04/22/2015	Routine
CAFETERIA INSPECTION: well-run commercial kitchen with thoroughly trained management and staff. Demonstration of knowledge was complete and correct. Facility spacious, organized, clean, and efficient. Temperature control of foods and sanitation are handled well. HACCP record review: HACCP plan (signature record on file with Stephanie Munsie), Cook/Reheat log (ensure that length of time it takes to reheat to 165F is documented), refrigeration logs, thermometer calibration record, receiving (using invoices---don't forget to document temps), Damaged/discarded log. All records are current and appear to be kept in real time. Some forms lack complete verification by HACCP-trained individual, but most have it. This was pointed out to the manager, and she will ensure correction. No deficiencies were noted for the cafeteria. SCHOOL FACILITY INSPECTION was also conducted at this time, evaluating restrooms, locker rooms, water fountains, and general facilities sanitation and maintenance. General sanitation seems to be handled well, but repairs are needed. Leaks in showers and handsinks are prevalent and are wasting city water. Deficiencies noted: * High School, men's locker room---2 showers have broken/missing faucet handles, 6 of the shower heads are actively leaking with corrosion evident, and there is a massive green (cupric) stain across the floor. Water fountain has inadequate flow (turn up water flow until water arcs above the mouth shield). High School, lady's locker room---several shower heads are dripping, some shower curtains are torn, slight green staining around drains, water fountain has inadequate flow, and a handsink is nonfunctional. outside of weight room are damaged floor tiles in several places. PM staff states that students will take weights out into the hall to lift, banging them on the tiles and causing damage. Repair tiles. It is suggested that students remain in the weight room while using weights. JV boys' locker room---both handsinks are faulty, 5 shower heads are actively leaking, and showers have the same green staining on the floors as seen in the High School. Boys' locker room in old gym---several nonfunctional lights, leaving room dimly lit. Repair lights. Lady's locker room in old gym---one shower stall is crumbling, with a pile of rusted metal crumbles on the floor. Remove rust debris, and repair or remove partition. Girls' Coach office---handsink does not drain and has yellowed standing water in it. Cate center, women's room---one handsink is nonfunctional, another constantly running. Men's Varsity locker room---water fountain spits and dribbles with inadequate flow, hand sinks are damaged with non-functional handles. One handsink that runs will not stay on for the 20 seconds required for touch-time faucets. Another sink will come on and runs for minutes unnecessarily. No violation noted during this evaluation.	10/17/2014	Risk Factor

Notes: Observed some paint on the kitchen ceiling that looked like it was bubbling and might start peeling. PIC stated that ceiling had been damaged due to a leak but that the leak had been repaired and the ceiling repainted. Suggested that they monitor the paint on the ceiling to make sure it does not start peeling and falling off. Also, PIC stated that screen doors had been ordered a few months ago but that they were the wrong size. She was unaware if replacements had been ordered. Refuse - Storing Refuse, Recyclables, and Returnables Observation: There are no refuse containers for the storage of recycled boxes/cardboard. Observed carboard piled on concrete pad outside. Correction: Provide waste handling containers for the storage of recycled boxes/cardboard in a sanitary manner. Refuse - Covering Receptacles Observation: Dumpster and recycling container were open and overflowing. Correction: Cover all waste containers when not in continuous use. Have dumpster and recycling container emptied more ofter to avoid overflow. Outer Openings - Protected (repeated violation) Observation: Outer opening of the food establishment is not protected against entry of insects and rodents. During inspection, the doors were closed but PIC did say that they would be opening them as soon as it turned warmer since there is no A/C. Tight fitting screened doors must be installed before doors can be left open for ventilation. Correction: Protect the food establishment against the entry of insects and rodents by 1. Filling or closing holes and other gaps along floors, walls, and ceilings, 2. Closed, tight fitting windows, and 3. Solid, self-closing, tight-fitting doors. Insects and rodents are vectors of disease-causing microorganisms which may be transmitted to humans by contamination of food and food-contact surfaces.	03/20/2013	Routine
