Temperature Measuring Devices - Ambient Air and Water Observation: The ambient (air/water) temperature measuring device (degrees F) located in the 3 door reach in freezer is not accurate.
Correction: Provide a temperature measuring device that is accurate within +/- 3 degrees Fahrenheit in the intended range of use.
Equipment - Good Repair and Proper Adjustment Observation: The door gasket to the sandwich preparation unit (underneath) is in poor repair. The unit was observed at 48F.
Correction: The operator adjusted the setting on the unit and will monitor the temperature. If the unit's temperature is not maintained at 41F or less, the operator will have the unit serviced and provide the Health Department with a copy of the invoice. The operator will repair or replace the door gasket in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications.
Non-Food Contact Surfaces Observation: The nonfood contact surface of the sandwich preparation unit (underneath) and reach-in cooler has accumulations of grime and debris.
Correction: Clean the surface at a frequency necessary to preclude accumulation of residues that become encrusted or attract insects and rodents.
Handwashing - Using a Handwashing Lavatory - No Other Purpose (corrected on site) Observation: The handwash station in the back area is being used for purposes other than washing hands: a paintbrush was observed in the sink.
Correction: The handwash facility identified above is to be used for washing hands only. The operator removed the paintbrush from the sink.
Hand Drying Provision (corrected on site) Observation: The continuous towel system that supplies the user with a clean towel at the handsink in the back is broken, and no other provisions for hand drying is being provided.
Correction: Hand drying devices such as individual disposable paper towels, a continuous towel system that supplies the user with a clean towel or heated air hand drying device must be provided at all hand washing lavatories to encourage proper hand washing and avoid employees to drying their hands on their clothing or other unclean materials. The operator provided disposable paper towels at the handsink.
Mops - Drying Mops Observation: Mops not hung up to air dry.
Correction: Wet use maintenance items such as mops must be hung in a position that allows them to air dry so they are not allowed to grow contamination which can then be spread through the establishment at the next use.
