- Food Temperature Measuring Devices (repeated violation)
Observation: A food temperature measuring device is not provided and readily accessible for use in ensuring attainment and maintenance of food temperatures.
Correction: Food temperature measuring devices shall be provided and readily accessible for use in ensuring attainment and maintenance of food temperatures as specified under Chapter 3. The presence and accessibility of food temperature measuring devices is critical to the effective monitoring of food temperatures. Proper use of such devices provides the operator or person in charge with important information with which to determine if temperatures should be adjusted or if foods should be discarded.
- Sanitizing Solutions, Testing Devices (repeated violation)
Observation: A test kit or other device that accurately measures the concentration of the sanitizing solution (Quaternary Ammonia) is not provided.
Correction: A test kit or other device that accurately measures the concentration in mg/L of sanitizing solutions shall be provided. Testing devices to measure the concentration of sanitizing solutions are required for 2 reasons: 1. The use of chemical sanitizers requires minimum concentrations of the sanitizer during the final rinse step to ensure sanitization
- Outer Openings, Protected
Observation: The outer openings of the food establishment are not protected against the entry of insects and rodents. Observed front door not properly closing and tight fitting.
Correction: Outer openings of a food establishment shall be protected against the entry of insects and rodents by: (1) Filling or closing holes and other gaps along floors, walls, and ceilings

- Wiping Cloths, Use Limitation (corrected on site)
Observation: Cloths in-use for wiping counters and other equipment surfaces are not held between uses in a chemical sanitizer solution of proper concentration
Correction: and/or not laundered daily.
- Food Temperature Measuring Devices
Observation: A temperature measuring device with a suitable small-diameter probe to measure thin masses is not provided and readily accessible to accurately measure the temperature in thin foods.
Correction: A temperature measuring device with a suitable small-diameter probe that is designed to measure the temperature of thin masses shall be provided and readily accessible to accurately measure the temperature in thin foods such as meat patties and fish filets. When determining the temperature of thin foods, those having a thickness less than 13 mm (1/2 inch), it is particularly important to use a temperature sensing probe designed for that purpose. Bimetal, bayonet style thermometers are not suitable for accurately measuring the temperature of thin foods such as hamburger patties because of the large diameter of the probe and inability to accurately sense the temperature at the tip of the probe. However, temperature measurements in thin foods can be accurately determined using a small-diameter probe 1.5 mm (0.059 inch), or less, connected to a device such as thermocouple thermometer.
- Sanitizing Solutions, Testing Devices
Observation: A test kit or other device that accurately measures the concentration of the quaternary ammonium sanitizing solution is not provided.
Correction: A test kit or other device that accurately measures the concentration in mg/L of sanitizing solutions shall be provided. Testing devices to measure the concentration of sanitizing solutions are required for 2 reasons: 1. The use of chemical sanitizers requires minimum concentrations of the sanitizer during the final rinse step to ensure sanitization
- Plumbing System/Maintained in Good Repair
Observation: A small leak was observed under the kitchen handsink.
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.
