- Equipment/Good Repair and Proper Adjustment (repeated violation)
Observation: The side hand sink at the line was in need of re-sealing.
Door gasket at keg refrigerator was in disrepair.
Correction: Equipment shall be maintained in a state of repair and condition that meets the requirements specified under Parts 4-1 [Materials for Construction and Repair] and 4-2 [Design and Construction]. Proper maintenance of equipment to manufacturer specifications helps ensure that it will continue to operate as designed. Failure to properly maintain equipment could lead to violations of the associated requirements of the Code that place the health of the consumer at risk. For example, refrigeration units in disrepair may no longer be capable of properly cooling or holding potentially hazardous (time/temperature control for safety) foods at safe temperatures.
- Sanitized/Hot Water and Chemical/Methods (corrected on site)
Observation: After being cleaned, equipment food-contact surfaces and utensils are not sanitized in the hot water mechanical operations by being cycled through equipment that is properly set up and/or achieving a utensil surface temperature of 160°F as measured by an irreversible registering temperature indicator. Call for service was immediately placed.
Correction: After being cleaned, equipment food-contact surfaces and utensils shall be sanitized in hot water mechanical operations by being cycled through equipment that is set up as specified under sections 4-501.15, 4-501.112, and 4-501.113 and achieving a utensil surface temperature of 71°C (160°F) as measured by an irreversible registering temperature indicator. When surface temperatures of utensils passing through warewashing machines using hot water for sanitizing do not reach the required 71°C (160°F), it is important to understand the factors affecting the decreased surface temperature. A comparison should be made between the machine manufacturer's operating instructions and the machine's actual wash and rinse temperatures and final rinse pressure. The actual temperatures and rinse pressure should be consistent with the machine manufacturer's operating instructions and within limits specified in sections 4-501.112 and 4-501.113. If either the temperature of pressure of the final rinse spray is higher than the specified upper limit, spray droplets may disperse and begin to vaporize resulting in less heat delivery to utensil surfaces. Temperatures below the specified limit will not convey the needed heat to surfaces. Pressures below the specified limit will result in incomplete coverage of the heat-conveying sanitizing rinse across utensil surfaces.
- Plumbing System/Maintained in Good Repair
Observation: The mop sink faucet and pre-wash spray hose were leaking.
Spray hose at clean in place container was in disrepair.

Bacterial growth and/or toxin production can occur if time/temperature control for safety food remains in the temperature "Danger Zone" of 5ºC to 57ºC (41ºF to 135ºF) too long. Up to a point, the rate of growth increases with an increase in temperature within this zone. Beyond the upper limit of the optimal temperature range for a particular organism, the rate of growth decreases.
