Inspection findings

Inspection date

Type

The purpose of today's visit was to conduct routine inspection. EHS observed good food temperatures during today's inspection. Please continue to use rapid cooling methods for all cooked menu items and prepared menu items (such as pico de gallo, salsa etc). Per discussion with the General Manager the following menu items on the lunch menu are always cooked well done to 145F or above for 15 seconds: both ceviches, seafood soup, marisco saltado (shrimp & scallops), camarones tijuana (shrimp), camarones catalana (shrimp). Currently these menu items all have a consumer advisory disclosure asterisk. EHS recommended at the next menu printing to remove the consumer advisory disclosure asterisk. The consumer advisory applies to a number of beef menu items and pescado en salsa cancun (grilled salmon).
  • Critical: Molluscan Shellstock Tags/Labels Marked with Date Last Sold or Served (corrected on site) (repeated violation)
    Observation: The date when the last shellstock (clams) from the container is sold or served is not recorded on the tag or label.
    Correction: The identity of the source of shellstock (oysters, clams, mussels) that are sold or served shall be maintained by retaining shellstock tags or labels and marking the tag or label with the date when the last shellstock from the container is sold or served. DISCUSSED WITH CFM
  • Critical: Consumer Advisory, Disclosure Provided (corrected on site)
    Observation: The following raw and/or undercooked foods are provided on the menu, menu board, table tent or brochure without proper disclosure:--------steak fajitas
    Correction: The Consumer Advisory shall include a disclosure statement that includes a description of the animal-derived foods as raw/undercooked or identification of the animal-derived foods by asteriking (*) them to a footnote that states that the items are served raw or undercooked, or contain raw or undercooked ingredients. CONSUMER ADVISORY DISCLOSURE ASTERISK WERE ADDED TO ALL STEAK FAJITA MENU ITEMS DURING INSPECTION.
01/12/2016Routine
The purpose of today's visit was to conduct a risk factor assessment inspection. EHS observed menu items cooked and cooled the previous day were holding at 41F or below in the Walkin Cooler. EHS observed improved cooling methods and observed that additional cooling wands were purchased and being utilized. EHS observed two refrigeration units holding above 41F. Manager agreed to repair these units and to fax or email a third party service report by Wednesday, August 19, 2015. EHS discussed time as a public health control as a option to mark and place food in both units only during busy lunch and dinner. It is recommended that no food be kept in units during the time period between lunch and dinner. Please maintain the good cooling methods. Additional active managerial control is needed in the area of monitoring the ambient air temperature of refrigeration units and food temperatures along the cookline area. EHS provided CFM with and discussed handouts on Cold Holding, Active Managerial Control and Equipment and Food Temperature Logs.
  • Critical: Handwashing / When to wash hands (corrected on site)

The purpose of today's visit was to conduct a routine inspection. Note to Manager, please carefully read and review the inspection report and implement active managerial control practices to keep all corrected critical violations corrected. One example of a good active good managerial control is to maintain food and equipment temperature logs to verify that food and equipment are holding at 41F or below and to allow time for corrective action to be made before food has been in the danger zone too long. A follow-up inspection will be conducted tomorrow morning to verify that Walkin Cooler is able to continue to maintain food at 41F or below.
