Typhi, Shigella, Escherichia coli O157:H7, Hepatitis A virus or norovirus.
- Critical: Food - Packaged and Unpackaged - Separation, Packaging, and Segregation* (corrected on site)
Observation: Raw foods of animal origin stored over ready-to-eat (RTE) food in the refrigeration unit - eggs over green onions.
Correction: Separate raw foods of animal origin during storage, preparation, holding, and display from raw RTE food including foods such as fish for sushi or molluscan shellfish, or other raw RTE food such as vegetables, and cooked RTE food.
- Utensils - In-Use - Between-Use Storage (corrected on site)
Observation: In-use utensils improperly stored between use - fork being stored in room temperature water being used to "whip" eggs for egg drop soup.
Correction: Store in-use utensils or dispensing utensils in one of the following manners: 1) In the food with their handles above the top of the food and the container. 2) In food that is not potentially hazardous with their handles above the top of the food within containers or equipment that can be closed. 3) On a clean portion of the food preparation table or cooking equipment only if the in-use utensil and the food-contact surface of the food preparation table or cooking equipment are cleaned and sanitized every 4 hours. 4) In running water of sufficient velocity to flush particulates to the drain. 5) In a clean, protected location if the utensils are used only with a food that is not potentially hazardous. 6) In a container of water if the water is maintained at a temperature of at least 135°F.
- Critical: Food - Potentially Hazardous Food - Cold Holding* (corrected on site)
Observation: @FOOD@ cold holding at improper temperatures in the following refrigeration units: sweet sour pork in the Walk-in and the Beverage Air Triple refrigeration units.
Correction: Cold hold potentially hazardous food at 41°F or below to inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria. The temperature of the brown refrigeration unit was lowered. Place thermometer in different locations in the walk-in to determine if there are warmer areas in walk-in and adjust temperature of unit if needed.
- Critical: Date Marking - Ready-to-Eat - Potentially Hazardous Food - Date Marking* (corrected on site)
Observation: The prepared ready-to-eat (RTE) @FOOD@ in the refrigeration unit is not properly dated for disposition.
Correction: Mark the name and "consume by" date on the container of RTE foods at the time of preparation if the food is to be held for more than 24 hours. If the food is held at 41°F or below the food shall be served or sold within 7 calendar days. Some harmful bacteria continue to grow even at refrigeration temperatures so limiting the amount of time in storage limits the amount of growth allowed for these bacteria.
- Nonfood-Contact Surfaces - Corrosion Resistant/Nonabsorbent
Observation: The nonfood contact surface of the @EQUIPMENT@ is not corrosion resistant, nonabsorbent, and/or smooth - cardboard box being re-used for storage.
Correction: Nonfood contact equipment that is exposed to splash, spillage, food soiling, or requires frequent cleaning must be smooth, durable, and nonabsorbent.
- Single-Service and Single-Use, Characteristics*
Observation: Observed use of grocery plastic bags as a single-use/single-service food contact material.
Correction: Discontinue use of the plastic grocery bags as food contact material. Provide single-service and single-use articles that are safe and clean, and will not allow the transfer of colors, odors, or tastes to the food.
- Temperature - Food Temperature Measuring Devices - Provided
Observation: The person in charge could not provide a food temperature measuring device.
Correction: Obtain at least one food temperature measuring device so employees can properly monitor the temperature of food items in the establishment.
- Equipment - Cutting Surfaces
Observation: The cutting board(s) heavily scratched and scored. The food contact surface is no longer easily cleaned and sanitized due to condition.
Correction: Resurface or discard and replace the cutting boards to provide a food contact surface that is smooth, easily cleaned and sanitized.
- Equipment - Food Contact Surfaces, Nonfood Contact Surfaces, and Utensils
Observation: Observed accumulations of dust, dirt, food residue or other debris on the following nonfood-food contact surfaces: general cleaning of shelves.
Correction: Maintain nonfood-contact surfaces of equipment clean.
- Refuse, Recyclables, and Returnables - Outdoor Storage Surface
Observation: The waste oil container is stored on absorbent material.
Correction: All refuse containers are to be stored on smooth, nonabsorbent material that is sloped to drain.
- Refuse, Recyclables, and Returnables - Outdoor Storage Surface
Observation: The outdoor refuse container is stored on absorbent material.
Correction: All refuse containers are to be stored on smooth, nonabsorbent material that is sloped to drain.
- Toilet Room Receptacle Covered
Observation: There is no covered refuse container for the disposal of feminine napkins in the ladies room.
Correction: Install a covered refuse container for the disposal of feminine napkins in the ladies room.
- Outer Openings - Protected
Observation: Outer opening of the food establishment is not protected against entry of insects and rodents.
Correction: Protect the food establishment against the entry of insects and rodents by 1. Filling or closing holes and other gaps along floors, walls, and ceilings, 2. Closed, tight fitting windows, and 3. Solid, self-closing, tight-fitting doors. Insects and rodents are vectors of disease-causing microorganisms which may be transmitted to humans by contamination of food and food-contact surfaces.
- Physical Facilities in Good Repair
Observation: The following physical structures are not maintained in good repair: wood along wall at the dishwasher, and the floor in the ladies' restroom.
Correction: Maintain physical facilities in good repair. Poor repair and maintenance compromises the functionality of the physical facilities.
- Physical Facilities - Cleaning Frequency and Restrictions
Observation: The following physical structures were noted in need of cleaning: walls, ceiling and the restrooms - floors/walls/ceilings.
Correction: All floors, walls, and ceilings must be cleaned as often as necessary to keep them clean.

A regular cleaning schedule should be established and followed to maintain the facility in a clean and sanitary manner.
- Critical: Toxics - Common Name/working Containers of Toxics* (corrected on site)
Observation: Working containers of @HAZARDOUS PRODUCT@ are not properly labeled - chemical spray bottles.
Correction: Working containers of toxic items are to be properly labeled with contents. Identification of these containers with the common name of the material helps prevent the dangerous misuse of the contents.
- Critical: Toxics - Conditions of Use* (corrected on site)
