Inspection findings	Inspection date	Type
Nice recovery from 10/26/15 inspection! Notes: 1. Staff planned for two weeks out where all staff will have FDA form 1-B explained to them, and will then sign. Signed copies to be kept on file to share with the inspector during the next visit. Make sure the form is discussed/included with all new hires from here on out. 2. Some metal pans have already been ordered and received. The use of metal and lower portions is making a big difference with cold holding temperatures on the line. More metal pans are still on order and will be put into use upon receipt. Staff has also rearranged product in the top wells of the units, and this appears to be helping with temperature control. Thermostats were not changed and the units were not serviced. 3. Facility is set to receive and install a new low temperature dish machine within the week. The current machine is quite old and not in very good shape, but is now operating correctly since the chlorine bucket was replaced with a new one. Thought the issue detected on 10/26/15 was due to old chemicals. 4. Make sure to cool all prepped sandwiches in the WIC prior to bringing it up on the serving line. 5. Continue to monitor the dumpster area to insure all of the facility's trash ends up in the dumpster and not on the ground. No violation noted during this evaluation.	11/09/2015	Follow-up
Notes: 1. Discussed employee health. Facility has no formal written policy. Providing FDA form 1-B and asking facility to keep signed copies on file for all staff. Also suggest posting the policy. 2. Discussed methods for helping to stabilize/lower temperatures of food items held in the MUT top wells. Encourage use of metal pans vs. plastic for TCS foods. Lower the portions/volume stored in the pans, regardless of where they are held. All prepped product must be 41 F or less before being brought on line, since temperatures usually only go up on service lines (instead of down). 3. Store ice buckets inverted for draining. 4. All dishes must be manually sanitized until the dish machine can be repaired. PIC stated the chemical provider had rigged the rinse aid line to the sanitizer since the sanitizer line was having issues. Regardless of what line was hooked up, no sanitizer was detected as being delivered in the chlorine dish machine. Critical: Food - Potentially Hazardous Food - Cold Holding* (repeated violation) Observation: Assorted deli meats, sliced tomatoes, prepped sandwiches, sourcream, butter packets, and coleslaw (held on ice) cold holding at improper temperatures Correction: Discard the food and ensure that potentially hazardous foods for cold holding are maintained at 41°F or below to inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria. Critical: Equipment and Utensils - Before Use After Cleaning* Observation: The food-contact surfaces of the following equipment were not observed sanitized: chlorine dish machine was delivering no detectable levels of chlorine. Correction: After cleaning and rinsing of the food-contact surface, the surface shall be effectively sanitized before coming in contact with food and before use.
