Inspection findings

Inspection date

Type

Traps and glue boards have been placed in several kitchen areas. I was told one mouse has been caught. Continue to set traps. Be sure to use something to entice them, such as peanut butter. Walls have been patched. PCO came this week. Worker observed blowing her nose but did not wash hands until she was told by PIC. Workers to understand when to wash hands. A bus tub full of cooked rice was tightly covered and placed on rack in back corner. Do not leave unattended. Either cool it or fry it. Bus tub of duck was dragged across kitchen floor. Containers of food do not belong on the floor.
  • Critical: Eating, Drinking, or Using Tobacco* (repeated violation)
    Observation: Multiple workers eating in kitchen.
    Correction: Workers are not to be eating while working. Use your dining room.
  • Critical: Date Marking - Ready-to-Eat - Potentially Hazardous Food - Date Marking* (repeated violation)
    Observation: The prepared ready-to-eat (RTE) duck in the refrigeration unit is not properly dated for disposition. It appears workers placed today's date on numerous foods upon my arrival. This is unacceptable.
    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.
