Inspection findings

Inspection date

Type
Need to get more information on the use of sodium hydroxide (baker's lye) in the food preparation of the pretzel dogs. How is toxicity determined?
  • Critical: Eating, Drinking, or Using Tobacco*
    Observation: Noted an open drinking container stored over the dough mixer in a manner that may contaminate food contact surfaces or utensils.
    Correction: Employees may drink from a closed beverage container if the container is handled to prevent contamination of exposed food contact surfaces or utensils.
  • Critical: Food - Safe and Unadulterated*
    Observation: Found a partially covered container of salt with foreign material in the salt.
    Correction: Ensure food is safe and unadulterated by storing foods in properly covered containers.
  • Critical: Food - Potentially Hazardous Food - Hot Holding*
    Observation: Found pretzel dogs hot holding at 125 F after being placed in the warmer 45 minutes earlier.
    Correction: Hot hold the pretzel dogs at 135 or above to inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria. If not, then discard the pretzel dogs in the next 3 hours.
  • Sanitizing Solutions, Testing Devices
    Observation: There was no properly working test kit provided in the facility for monitoring the concentration of the chemical sanitizing solutions.
    Correction: Obtain a test kit so that employees can accurately monitor the concentration of the sanitizing solutions and maintain them at a safe and effective level.
  • Plumbing System Maintained in Good Repair
    Observation: One of the hand sinks was clogged and needs to be unclogged.
    Correction: Unclog the drain of the hand sink.

Pre-operational inspection revealed the following: a second hand sink was installed and placed in the warewashing area. The other sink is located more to the serving area
  • Equipment, Utensils, Linens, and Single-Service and Single-Use Articles
    Observation: The sanitizer compartment of the 3-compartment sink was unprotected from splash that would occur from the hand sink near by when hands are being washed.
    Correction: Provide a splashguard to separate the hand sink from the 3-compartment sink.
  • Handwashing Signage/Handwashing Facilities
    Observation: Handwashing signages were not provided at hand sinks to remind Foodhandlers to wash their hands.
    Correction: Provide handwashing signages at hand sinks.
