Inspection findings

Inspection date

Type

The purpose of this visit is to conduct a routine inspection. Employee Health policy in place. EHS provided additional forms for use by the manager today. Sanitizer observed within acceptable limits. Please provide separate scoops for each different type of raw meat (e. g. raw, thin sliced marinated beef and raw shrimp).
IMPORTANT: During the beginning of todays inspection a certified food manager was not present. The certified food manager arrived approximately 20 minutes after the beginning of the inspection. This is a repeat violation. One hallmark of Active Managerial Control is that a certified food manager be present to monitor employees to ensure food safety. Active Managerial Control creates a culture of food safety. Because this is a repeat violation, obtain enough additional Certified Food Managers to ensure that a Certified Food Manager is present during all operating hours, including times when employees are prepping food but the facility is not yet open to the public. You have been granted 30 days to provide a the photo identification Norhern Virginia Food Manager card to my email (email on business card provided to you during today's visit). Note: Currently, per the manager, this facility has two Certified Food Managers. A minimum of 1 additional Certified Food Manager is needed. I have provided you with the address and telephone number to ORS Interactive, inc where you can obtain the photo identification Certified Food Manager card. Thank you. If you have any quetions, please call the health department at 703-246-2444.

    Observation: The following visibly soiled or improperly cleaned equipment or utensils were observed being used during food preparation: The same scoop used for raw, thin sliced marinated beef is being used to raw shrimp in the prep cooler
    Correction: Foodworker directed to place a scoop for each different type of raw meat in the prep cooler. Foods shall be prepared using only cleaned and sanitized equipment and utensils to prevent contamination to the foods being prepared.
  • Critical: Certified Food Manager/Presence Required (corrected on site) (repeated violation)
    Observation: There is no Certified Food Manager (CFM) present at the beginning of the inspection.
    Correction: CFM arrived approximately 20 minutes after the beginning of the inspection. It shall be unlawful to operate a food establishment unless it is under the immediate control of a certified food manager.

Failure to have a certified food manager on site during ALL hours of operation including food preparation, food service, and cleaning/sanitizing of equipment/utensils will result in closure of the establishment.
