Inspection findings

Inspection date

Type
recommended food service/cooks receive food safety training. As instructed, monitor prep table temperatures-if they continue to hover at borderline temperatures have unit serviced immediately.
  • Critical: Date Marking - Ready-to-Eat - Potentially Hazardous Food - Date Marking* (repeated violation)
    Observation: The prepared ready-to-eat (RTE) @all FOOD@ in the refrigeration unit are not properly dated for disposition.
    Correction: Mark the name and "consume by" date on the container of RTE foods at the time of preparation if the food is to be held for more than 24 hours. If the food is held at 41°F or below the food shall be served or sold within 7 calendar days. Some harmful bacteria continue to grow even at refrigeration temperatures so limiting the amount of time in storage limits the amount of growth allowed for these bacteria.
  • Toxics - Presence and Use Restriction (corrected on site)
    Observation: Unnecessary poisonous or toxic materials found in the food establishment.
    Correction: Remove unnecessary poisonous or toxic materials.
10/29/2015Routine
Notes:
*Gave owner an approved employee health policy to implement and post.
*Owner or key staff member(s) will need to obtain food safety manager's certification. VA is soon adopting new food regulations that will require a food safety certified manager is on duty during all hours of operation. Emailed owner some of the upcoming training and certification opportunities.
*Be sure that all food items are labeled with the common name of the food and the use by date. Observed most items were dated but a couple were not.
*To prevent cross contamination in the refrigeration units, store all ready to eat food items above or separate from raw animal products, even when thawing.
*Space is limited in this facility but strive to keep all items off the floor even in the walk in cooler and freezer.
*The prep cooler is running at borderline approved temperatures. Suggested to owner to move as much food as possible to the walk in cooler until it can hold a lower temperature. Owner stated she would call the repairman and have it serviced ASAP.
*Suggested that the facility keep written temperature logs for equipment and cooling. Emailed sample logs to owner.
No violation noted during this evaluation.		02/23/2015Routine
  • Gloves - Use Limitation (corrected on site)
    Observation: Single-use gloves while worn during multi-tasked food preparation.
    Correction: Discard gloves when changing tasks and wash hands when changing from raw food to ready-to-eat (RTE) food preparation to prevent cross contamination. Single-use gloves shall be used for only one task such as working with RTE food or with raw animal food and used for no other purpose.
  • Cooling Methods (corrected on site)
    Observation: The methods used for cooling were not adequate.
    Correction: Cool foods by the following methods: 1. Placing food in shallow pans 2. Separating food into smaller thinner portions 3. Using rapid chill cooling equipment 4. Stirring the food in a container placed in an ice water bath 5. Using containers that facilitate heat transfer 6. Adding ice as an ingredient 7. Any other method that can effectively accomplish cooling.
  • Critical: Date Marking - Ready-to-Eat - Potentially Hazardous Food - Date Marking*
    Observation: The prepared ready-to-eat (RTE) Soup Beans in the refrigeration unit is not properly dated for disposition.
    Correction: Mark the name and "consume by" date on the container of RTE foods at the time of preparation if the food is to be held for more than 24 hours. If the food is held at 41°F or below the food shall be served or sold within 7 calendar days. Some harmful bacteria continue to grow even at refrigeration temperatures so limiting the amount of time in storage limits the amount of growth allowed for these bacteria.
  • Equipment, Utensils, Linens, and Single-Service and Single-Use Articles (corrected on site)
    Observation: Clean Forks & Spoons were observed stored with the food-contact surface facing upward.
