    Observation: Lid to the burger freezer observed in poor repair.
    Correction: Repair the lid to the freezer to restore a state of condition that allows for proper operation, accuracy, functioning, maintenance, and cleanability per Part IV, Article 1 and 2 of this chapter. If unable to repair the lid, replace it with one that meets the specifications of Part IV, Article 1 and 2 of this chapter.
  • Critical: Equipment and Utensils - Before Use After Cleaning* (corrected on site)
    Observation: Observed an employee drop a pan for cooked foods on the floor, take it back to the three compartment sink and rinse it off with water and take it back to the front, to hold food.

11/19/2015Routine
Adequate thermometer, sanitizer test kits, and employee health policy.
Noes:
1. Fill up the sanitizer compartment of the 3-vat sink and retest the solution. If solution reads above 200 ppm, contact the supplier to come recalibrate the dispenser. The solution tested in the inspection was run in a small container, and it was not allowed to run a while before being collected.
2. Require staff to change out the wash water at the 3-vat sink at least once during the washing of a batch of dishes. See if this has any effect in reducing greasy residues being left on clean dishes.
3. Train staff to allow dishes to air dry before stacking.
4. The sausage burritos that were found warm in the 4-door BA cooler are thought to have been left sitting out for a while. The batch in the WIC that was prepped at the same time this morning were at or close to 41 F, whereas the ones in the kitchen area were at least 7 degrees warmer.

  • Critical: Food - Potentially Hazardous Food - Cold Holding* (corrected on site) (repeated violation)
    Observation: Sausage and egg breakfast burritos in the 4-door RIC cold holding at improper temperatures. Burritos were prepped at 7 am at the latest and proper refrigeration hasn't been maintained since that time.
    Correction: Discard the food (by 11 am) and ensure that potentially hazardous foods for cold holding are maintained at 41°F or below to inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria.
  • Temperature Measuring Devices (repeated violation)
    Observation: There was no temperature measuring device located in the three line freezers, the 4-door BA, left McCafe cooler, and clear counter BA cooler.
    Correction: Provide a temperature measuring device in all hot or cold holding equipment used to store potentially hazardous foods so that employees can routinely monitor the ambient air temperature.
  • Critical: Equipment - Food Contact Surfaces, Nonfood Contact Surfaces, and Utensils* (corrected on site) (repeated violation)
    Observation: The following equipment food-contact surfaces were observed soiled to sight and touch: dishes stored on the clean dish rack had greasy residues still on them.
    Correction: Clean and sanitize these surfaces for food contact. The wash water needs to be changed out at least once (maybe more) when dishes are being done. Soapy water with heavy grease residues cannot effectively remove everything.
  • Equipment and Utensils, Air-Drying Required
    Observation: Clean dishes were found stacked while wet after cleaning and chemical sanitization.
    Correction: Items must be allowed to drain and air-dry before being stacked or stored to allow evaporation of chemical sanitizer and moisture that may encourage microbial growth.
