1. Dish machine is not maintained in good repair.

  • Time/Temperature Control for Safety Food, Hot Holding (corrected on site)
    Observation: Chicken hot holding at the improper temperature of 111-119F on the burner.
    Correction: (reheated) - Except during preparation, cooking, or cooling, or when time is used as the public health control as specified under section 3-501.19, and except as specified under paragraph (B) of this section, time/temperature control for safety food shall be maintained at 57ºC (135ºF) or above, except that roasts cooked to a temperature and for a time specified in paragraph 3-401.11(B) or reheated as specified in paragraph 3-403.11(E) may be held at a temperature of 54ºC (130ºF) or above. Bacterial growth and/or toxin production can occur if time/temperature control for safety food remains in the temperature "Danger Zone" of 5ºC to 57ºC (41ºF to 135ºF) too long. Up to a point, the rate of growth increases with an increase in temperature within this zone. Beyond the upper limit of the optimal temperature range for a particular organism, the rate of growth decreases. Operations requiring heating or cooling of food should be performed as rapidly as possible to avoid the possibility of bacterial growth.
  • Equipment/Food-Contact/Before Use After Cleaning/Sanitized (corrected on site)
    Observation: Utensils and food-contact surfaces of equipment were not sanitized after cleaning. An employee was observed washing dishes without sanitizing.
    Correction: Utensils and food-contact surfaces of equipment shall be sanitized before use after cleaning. Sanitization is accomplished after the warewashing steps of cleaning and rinsing so that utensils and food-contact surfaces are sanitized before coming in contact with food and before use.
  • Food Manager Certificate and Responsibility
    Observation: The food establishment is not under the immediate control of a Northern Virginia certified food manager.
    Correction: It shall be unlawful to operate a food establishment unless it is under the immediate control of a Northern Virginia certified food manager

  • Food Storage Containers, Identified with Common Name of Food
    Observation: Observed dry goods without a label of the common name of the product.

Consumers may be allergic to certain foods or ingredients. The mistaken use of an ingredient, when the consumer has specifically requested that it not be used, may result in severe medical consequences. The mistaken use of food from unlabeled containers could result in chemical poisoning.
  • Single-Serve and Single-Use Articles, Use Limitation
    Observation: Observed re-use of single-use manufacturer food containers for storage of serving food.
    Correction: Discontinue the reuse of single-use containers for food storage. Provide approved reusable food storage containers designed for your food storage needs.

    Correction: A plumbing system shall be maintained in good repair.
