- Critical: Food - Packaged and Unpackaged - Separation, Packaging, and Segregation* (corrected on site)
Observation: Raw food of animal origin holding in a manner that may cause cross contamination of to ready-to-eat food (RTE).
Correction: Separate raw foods during storage, preparation, holding, and display from raw RTE food including other raw food such as fish for sushi or molluscan shellfish, or other raw RTE food such as vegetables, and cooked RTE food.
- Food Storage Containers - Identified with Common Name of Food (corrected on site)
Observation: Unlabeled food container of vegetable oil.
Correction: Label working containers with the common name of its contents. Consumers may be allergic to certain foods or ingredients. The mistaken use of an ingredient when the consumer has requested that it not be used may result in severe medical consequences. Liquid foods and granular foods may resemble cleaning compounds. The mistaken use of food from an unlabeled container could result in chemical poisoning.
- Utensils - In-Use - Between-Use Storage (corrected on site)
Observation: In-use utensils improperly stored between use.
Correction: Store in-use utensils or dispensing utensils in one of the following manners: 1) In the food with their handles above the top of the food and the container. 2) In food that is not potentially hazardous with their handles above the top of the food within containers or equipment that can be closed. 3) On a clean portion of the food preparation table or cooking equipment only if the in-use utensil and the food-contact surface of the food preparation table or cooking equipment are cleaned and sanitized every 4 hours. 4) In running water of sufficient velocity to flush particulates to the drain. 5) In a clean, protected location if the utensils are used only with a food that is not potentially hazardous. 6) In a container of water if the water is maintained at a temperature of at least 135°F.
- Thawing (corrected on site)
Observation: Improper methods used to thaw shrimp.
Correction: Thaw potentially hazardous foods by either of the following methods: 1. Under refrigeration that maintains food temperature at 41°F (45°F) 2. Completely submerged under running water at a temperature of 70°F or below with sufficient water velocity to agitate and float off loose particles in an overflow. Ready-to-eat food shall not exceed 41°F and raw animal foods shall not exceed 41°F for more than four hours 3. As part of the cooking process
- Critical: Cooling* (corrected on site)
Observation: Cooked pasta dishes, spinach wrap, meatballs, marinara sauce and lasagna in walk in unit noted not being adequately cooled to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria.
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: Food - Potentially Hazardous Food - Cold Holding*
Observation: 1. Raw fish and raw chicken stored in walk in unit cold holding at improper temperatures.
2. Sliced ham, cheese, salami, steak, and roast beef stored in front line sandwich refrigeration unit at improper temperatures.
Correction: Cold hold potentially hazardous food at 41°F or below to inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria.

- Food Contact Surfaces - Cleanability* (corrected on site)
Observation: Cracked/chipped dishes found throughout the kitchen.
Correction: Replace the dishes to provide a food contact surface that is smooth and easily cleanable, free of breaks, open seams, cracks, chips, pits, sharp internal angles, corners, and crevices to prevent build-up of food debris.
