Inspection findings

Inspection date

Type

  • Critical: Date Marking - Ready-to-Eat - Potentially Hazardous Food - Date Marking* (corrected on site)
    Observation: Observed tomato soup and chicken rice in the walk-in cooler not properly dated for disposition. PIC correctly dated the items during the inspection.

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.
  • Critical: Equipment - Food Contact Surfaces, Nonfood Contact Surfaces, and Utensils* (corrected on site)
    Observation: Several stainless steel food containers on the storage rack were observed soiled to sight and touch. All items were placed in the 3-compartment sink to be cleaned and sanitized.
    Correction: Clean and sanitize these surfaces for food contact.

    Observation: The nozzles on the juice machine in both the east and west kitchen were observed soiled with accumulations of grime and debris. PIC stated the juice nozzles are washed and sanitized once per week.
