Facility was inspected during the breakfast hours. Date marking system is in place. Ensure food handler cards are made current. When using the 3 compartment sink use the sequence of wash, rinse, and sanitize order with the sink basins. Hair restraints are in place. However, if management steps back to help with any of the food preparation, cooking hair restraints as hair nets, hats or similar must be worn per code 12VAC 5 421-240. Also a please ensure that over use of over use of glove use is not being conducted, Glove use is for touching food only not boxes or handles of refrigeration. In addition, the sanitizer at the 3 compartment sink area was just above the recommended concentration. Food workers must use test strips to ensure the right concentration is obtained.
