01/15/2014Routine
Received a complaint that a customer became ill 4 hours after consuming fried calamari at this establishment on 12/23/2013. There was no doctor diagnosis. I conducted a routine inspection of the facility on 1/15/2014. The calamari is received frozen and is commercially processed. It is then cooked to at least 145 degrees F prior to serving. No other complaints have been received. None of the staff has been ill according to the PIC. Can not confirm the complainant's illness was a result of the food they consumed at this establishment.
No violation noted during this evaluation.
