Today I conducted a routine inspection and discussed with management the following: 1. Management should reiterate the 5 major risk factors associated with foodborne illness with all staff frequently: Employee health policy, Personal hygiene, Contaminated equipment/utensils, Time/Temperature relationships for food and Unapproved food sources. 2. Management should calibrate the food thermometer at least once a week in an ice water bath to 32f to ensure accuracy when taking food temperatures. The thermometer should be washed, rinsed and sanitized before and after each use. Wash in hot, soapy water. Rinse in hot, clean water and Sanitize in a bleach water solution at a concentration of 50-200ppm. Management explained that all food is catered in from a licensed facility. Hot foods are received at 135f or above and cold foods at 41f or below. The temperatures of the foods are recorded daily. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at 703-246-2444. Thank you.
