Type
Discussed the following with the person in charge (PIC):
1. Meatballs, sausage, and roast turkey are the menu items that are cooked in advance on site, cooled, and then reheated per order. The turkey is served cold.
2. No foods are held hot. All foods are cooked or reheated to order.
3. The PIC is the only employee of the restaurant. He is knowledgeable of the employee health policy.
4. Food sources are Roma, PFG, Restaurant Depot, Sam's Club, & Buffa's Italian Bakery.
5. The fire suppression system and fire extinguishers were inspected on 1/15/16. The ventilation hood system was professionally cleaned on Dec. 31, 2015.
6. The PIC turned down the temperature of the sandwich prep unit during the inspection. The temperature in the unit dropped from 40°F to 36°F. Recommend keeping the temperature of the unit turned down to ensure that the foods in the unit are held at 41°F or below at all times (including busy periods when the lid is left open).
Observed the overall facility clean.
  • Critical: Date Marking - Ready-to-Eat - Potentially Hazardous Food - Date Marking*
    Observation: The prepared ready-to-eat (RTE) turkey, macaroni, & sausage in the refrigeration unit are not properly dated for disposition.
    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.
  • Critical: Date Marking - Ready-to-Eat - Potentially Hazardous Food - Date Marking*
    Observation: The ready-to-eat (RTE) commercially processed deli meats in the refrigeration units are not properly dated for disposition after opening.
    Correction: Mark a "consume by" date on commercially processed RTE foods at the time the original container is opened. 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.
  • Equipment - Fixed Equipment, Spacing or Sealing
    Observation: The handwashing sink and the 3 compartment sink are not sealed to adjoining equipment or walls.
    Correction: Seal the unit to adjoining equipment or walls since it is exposed to spillage or seepage.
