Employees were changing gloves when changing tasks, but were not washing their hands between glove changes. Person in Charge discussed this observation with the employees and instructed them to wash their hands.
Correction: Instruct food employees to clean their hands and exposed portions of their arms immediately before engaging in food preparation including working with exposed food, clean equipment and utensils, and unwrapped single-service and single-use articles and during food preparation, as often as necessary to remove soil and contamination and to prevent cross contamination when changing task.
- Food Storage - Clean and Dry Location
Observation: Food stored in a location where it is subject to splash, dust or other contamination. Observed large bin of bulk foods such as flour stored under the drainboard of the three compartment sink. The bin no longer had a lid.
Correction: Store food where it is not exposed to splash or install an approved durable, and cleanable barrier between the splash source and the food to prevent contamination.
- Critical: Food - Potentially Hazardous Food - Cold Holding* (corrected on site) (repeated violation)
Observation: Milk (45'F IT), raw pork (47'F) and raw chicken (49'F) cold holding at improper temperatures in the prep cooler. Foods were placed back in to the walk in cooler.
Correction: Cold hold potentially hazardous food at 41°F or below to inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria.
- Equipment - Good Repair and Proper Adjustment (repeated violation)
Observation: Drain plugs to the three compartment sink are missing. Employees are using single use gloves to plug the drains while washing equipment.
Correction: Replace the drain plugs to restore a state of condition that allows for proper operation, accuracy, functioning, maintenance, and cleanability.

Facility has corrected several of the items noted on the Routine Inspection dated January 8, 2015.
Chlorine test papers were obtained by the operator until the quaternary ammonium test kit arrives. EHS explained to the operator the differences between the chemicals and test kits, and discussed how to properly mix a chlorine bleach water solution for sanitizing food contact equipment. Operator has agreed to use bleach water and the test kit for sanitizing equipment until the proper test kit arrives.
No evidence of live roaches was observed during today's inspection. A new pest control company has been contracted to treat the facility.
Thank you!
- Sanitizing Solutions, Testing Devices (repeated violation)
Observation: There is no properly working test kit provided in the facility for monitoring the concentration of the chemical sanitizing solutions. Facility has a pH test kit rather than one used to test for concentration of a chemical.
Correction: Obtain a QT-10 test kit (per manufacturer specifications) so that employees can accurately monitor the concentration of the sanitizing solutions and maintain them at a safe and effective level.
- Equipment - Good Repair and Proper Adjustment (repeated violation)
