Risk Factor
Critical: Hands - When to Wash* (corrected on site) Observation: A food employee failed to wash his or her hands before engaging in food preparation, after coughing, which may have contaminated her hands.
Correction: Instruct food employees to clean their hands and exposed portions of their arms immediately before engaging in food preparation including working with exposed food, clean equipment and utensils, and unwrapped single-service and single-use articles and during food preparation, as often as necessary to remove soil and contamination and to prevent cross contamination when changing task.
Cloths - Wiping Cloths - Use Limitation (corrected on site) Observation: Wiping cloths improperly stored between use.
Correction: Ensure wet wiping cloths are stored in a chemical sanitizer at the proper concentration between use.
Critical: Date Marking - Ready-to-Eat - Potentially Hazardous Food - Date Marking* (corrected on site) Observation: The following prepared ready-to-eat (RTE) foods in the refrigeration unit and prep unit are not properly dated for disposition: macaroni & cheese, chopped ham, and chicken salad.
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.
Equipment - Cutting Surfaces (repeated violation) Observation: The cutting board(s) along the prep unit is heavily scratched and scored. The food contact surface is no longer easily cleaned and sanitized due to condition.
Correction: Resurface or discard and replace the cutting boards to provide a food contact surface that is smooth, easily cleaned and sanitized.
