- Equipment/Good Repair and Proper Adjustment
Observation: The nacho cheese dispenser was observed damaged and in need of replacement.
Correction: Equipment shall be maintained in a state of repair and condition that meets the requirements specified under Parts 4-1 [Materials for Construction and Repair] and 4-2 [Design and Construction]. Proper maintenance of equipment to manufacturer specifications helps ensure that it will continue to operate as designed. Failure to properly maintain equipment could lead to violations of the associated requirements of the Code that place the health of the consumer at risk. For example, refrigeration units in disrepair may no longer be capable of properly cooling or holding potentially hazardous (time/temperature control for safety) foods at safe temperatures.
- Equipment, Food-Contact Surfaces, and Utensils (corrected on site)
Observation: The vegetable dicer was observed in need of cleaning and sanitizing.
Correction: Equipment food-contact surfaces and utensils shall be clean to sight and touch. The objective of cleaning focuses on the need to remove organic matter from food-contact surfaces so that sanitization can occur.
- Handwashing Sink/Using/Operation and Maintenance (corrected on site)
Observation: Food debris observed in the front handsink basin.
Correction: The handwashing facility identified above is to be used for washing hands only.
- Handwashing Sink/Using/Operation and Maintenance (corrected on site)
Observation: Employee observed improperly placing cooking sheet pans on the handsink basin in the warewashing area.
Correction: A handwashing sink shall be maintained so that it is accessible at all times for employee use. Facilities must be maintained in a condition that promotes handwashing and restricted for that use. Convenient accessibility of a handwashing facility encourages timely handwashing which provides a break in the chain of contamination from the hands of food employees to food or food-contact surfaces.
- Plumbing System/Maintained in Good Repair
Observation: The plumbing connections underneath the 3-compartment sink were observed not properly draining when the water was released swiftly.
Correction: A plumbing system shall be maintained in good repair. Improper repair or maintenance may result in the creation of obnoxious odors or nuisances, and may also adversely affect the operation of warewashing equipment or other equipment which depends on sufficient volume and pressure to perform its intended functions.
- Segregation and Location/Distressed Merchandise (corrected on site)
Observation: Dented can of food product observed not properly separated for redemption/credit from the supplier.
Correction: Products that are held by the permit holder for credit, redemption, or return to the distributor, such as damaged, spoiled or recalled products, shall be segregated and held in designated areas that are separated from food, equipment, utensils, linens, and single-service and single-use articles. Products which are damaged, spoiled, or otherwise unfit for sale or use in a food establishment may become mistaken for safe and wholesome products and/or cause contamination of other foods, equipment, utensils, linens, or single-service or single-use articles. To preclude this, separate and segregated areas must be designated for storing unsalable goods.
- Dressing Rooms and Lockers/Using (corrected on site)
Observation: Employee aprons/clothing observed improperly stored on the items in the single-service/dry storage area.
Correction: Lockers or other suitable facilities shall be used for the orderly storage of employee clothing and other possessions. Street clothing and personal belongings can contaminate food, food equipment, and food preparation surfaces and consequently must be stored in properly designated areas or rooms.
- Cleaning, Frequency and Restrictions
Observation: The wall/mold by the 3-compartment sink was observed in need of cleaning.
Correction: Physical facilities shall 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.
- Ventilation Systems/Cleaning/Nuisance and Discharge Prohibition
Observation: Ceiling vents in the establishment observed in need of cleaning.
Correction: Intake and exhaust air ducts shall be cleaned and filters changed so they are not a source of contamination by dust, dirt and other materials. Both intake and exhaust ducts can be a source of contamination and must be cleaned regularly. Filters that collect particulate matter must be cleaned or changed frequently to prevent overloading of the filter.
- Poisonous or Toxic Materials/Common Name/Working Containers (corrected on site)
Observation: Chemical spray containers observed not properly labeled with the common name of the product.
Correction: Working containers used for storing poisonous or toxic materials such as cleaners and sanitizers taken from bulk supplies shall be clearly and individually identified with the common name of the material. It is common practice in food establishments to purchase many poisonous or toxic materials including cleaners and sanitizers in bulk containers. Working containers are frequently used to convey these materials to areas where they will be used, resulting in working containers being stored in different locations in the establishment. Identification of these containers with the common name of the material helps prevent the dangerous misuse of the contents.
