EHS to facility to follow up for three issues: Wall behind mop sink that was rotted - and bad odor noted, with flies in facility, shelving in walk in refrigerator in very poor condition, and lowboy refrigerator at front counter area that did not close properly. Work started directly after last inspection and wall behind mop sink replaced with pictures viewed on district managers phone, also drain behind washing machine checked as odor noted in that area and cleaned out. One fly seen during food delivery. Walk in refrigerator shelving replaced with new shelving. Lowboy refrigerator taken off line until new doors received. Per manager, sufficient refrigeration present to avoid cold holding problems. Noted in discussion with District Manager and General Manger - lighting for walk in refrigerator poor and forgotten in last report. Discussed installing additional lighting to ensure entire unit easy to see. GM will respond to EHS after determination made for additional lighting.
- Cooling, Heating, and Holding Capacities (repeated violation)
Observation: Walk in freezer severely overcrowded so that entire floor space is taken up with storage and whole lines of food rollers must be pulled out to access food on shelves. Freezer space is not sufficient in number or capacity to meet the food storage demands of the establishment.
Correction: Provide additional freezer space necessary to maintain food items at frozen solid state and be able to access food without pulling items out at room temperature. Overstocked equipment does not allow for proper air circulation and/or heat transfer. Improper food storage temperatures are a major contributing factor to foodborne illness.
- Equipment - Good Repair and Proper Adjustment (repeated violation)
Observation: Small hot hold bin timers and bun steamer repaired. Receipt of parts for lowboy pending for repair.
Correction: Repair lowboy so that doors will close and seal properly.

Overall excellent sanitation seen. Observed good handwashing, good glove and utensil use, good food temperatures, and storage. Labeling with some issues seen, old labels not always removed with new labels not placed. General manager will work with staff preparing items for labeling practices. Will assess overall labeling during next visit. Discussed, labeling requirements are an important part of preventing the growth of Listeria in leftovers. Good employee heath knowledge. Noted dumpster open on arrival and corrected. Shake machine out of order today and called in for maintenance. ***New McDonalds policy if car at window waiting for service, keep window open as customers think staff are being rude. Suggest placing a sign - in the window that is easily visible - explaining window are closed when not speaking to keep flies out. Flies just beginning to become active and if present in the area will be attracted to food smells and get in kitchen - causing large contamination risk.
- Food - Miscellaneous Sources of Contamination
Observation: Shelving in the walk in refrigerator rusty with the potential for rust to fall into food - especially if food is cooling and uncovered until cooled - the correct method for cooling.
Correction: Replace shelving right away. Protect food from miscellaneous sources of contamination.

Overall mixed inspection. Good handwashing, glove use, and sanitizer in place for use and used. Good labeling both for leftovers and time. Cooking temperatures not adequate for right grill, burgers visibly not cooked as well as middle grill, otherwise good food temperatures. Employee health policy knowledge mixed, most symptoms known, but reportable diseases not known - review policy with staff, symptoms, return time, and reportable diseases, especially discussing close contact with reportable diseases, ie family member with a disease, flyer left. Two open packages of cheese returned to reach in refrigerator, where they may be subject to contamination, or more likely bare hand contact. Flies present in facility create a serious contamination risk for both food and food containers. Most single service containers properly stored with some eating surfaces up. Ensure that all containers are properly stored to protect from contamination and all food out for preparation is covered when not actually being used to prepare meals. Contact EHS when grill and drain are repaired. Follow up in about 2 weeks for cleaning / flies.
- Critical: Food - Packaged and Unpackaged - Separation, Packaging, and Segregation* (corrected on site)
Observation: Tray of uncovered bacon and cheese on prep line, flies present including once on tray.
Correction: Food on tray covered with sandwich wrappers. Protect food from cross contamination by storing food in packages, covered containers, or wrappings.
- Critical: Temperature, Cooking - Raw Animal Foods* (corrected on site)
Observation: Hamburgers cooked on right grill with inconsistent final cook temperatures with initial check of small patties from 133-144 F and for 2 large patties 162 and 150-151 F (for 15 seconds each). Patties bloody looking on top some more than others.
Correction: Undercooked hamburgers discarded (instead of finished cooking for QA purposes of facility). *Discontinue use of right grill until maintenance is done and reliable consistent cooking temperatures using McDonalds set cooking times can be achieved. Right grill taken off line during inspection.
- Plumbing System Maintained in Good Repair
Observation: Noted fast dripping water from front of drive through ice bin. When checked drain line completely filled with water, and water flowing onto floor.
Correction: Discontinue use of drive through ice bin. Have drain line cleared. Clean and sanitize bin, scoop etc. Ensure gap is present when bin returned to holder over drain lines to prevent backflow into bin.
- Lighting, Intensity
Observation: Two lights out in walk in freezer.
Correction: Replace lights. If lights continue to burn out, have maintenance done.
- Physical Facilities in Good Repair
Observation: Mop sink area in poor repair, deteriorated grouting, tiles etc.
Correction: Repair / replace deteriorated tiles and grouting.
- Pests - Controlling Pests*
Observation: Several flies present in facility. The following contributing factors noted:
-Drive through window opened approximated 10 minutes from arrival of EHS until inspection started.
-Non food contact surfaces soiled with food debris/grease etc.
-Areas under the grill, ice machine and drive through drink area with debris etc. on the floor and around the floor drain.
-Drain cover missing for floor drain under the drive through drink machine.
-Black garbage transport cart by back door filled with garbage / with flies and gnats present.
-Recycle container has had garbage with old food or other substance placed in container with substance spilled out on container.
-Dumpster with bad odor.
-Dumpster area with debris.
-Brooms in facility heavily soiled.
-Trash lines not used in some cans.
Correction: Clean continually all areas that will not create contamination risk while food, containers etc. are out. Ensure garbage is emptied often, containers are kept clean, and liners are used. Keep transport cart emptied, and cleaned. Clean dumpsters and area. Ensure garbage is completely contained in bags, if bags prone to break, double or change bags. Open garbage attracts flies for a breeding area, and results in many flies by/in the facility. When facility is closed, and no food or containers are out, kill flies (manually / with fly swatter etc.) clean and sanitize. Clean or replace brooms. Do not spray unless a staff member is a certified pest control operator. Contact pest control for additional suggestions / treatment. Because flies are attracted to and breed in rotting organic material / fecal matter, they physically "pick up" harmful bacteria then walk on food surfaces or food inside the facility depositing the bacteria that may cause food borne illness.
- Critical: Toxics - Storage of Toxic Containers* (corrected on site)
Observation: Open container of fryer cleaner left on shelf above fryers.
Correction: Cleaner stored in back area location. Ensure chemicals are stored away / under food / food containers and food prep areas.
