Inspection findings

Inspection date

Type
Carbon monoxide detector. Fax a copy of the base of operations health license. Decal # 054. Vendor Permit: V02529
  • Temperature Measuring Devices
    Observation: Provide ambient air thermometer(s) for refrigeration.
    Correction: Cold or hot holding equipment used for potentially hazardous food (time/temperature control for safety food) shall be designed to include and shall be equipped with at least one integral or permanently affixed temperature measuring device that is located to allow easy viewing of the device's temperature display. This section does not apply to equipment for which the placement of a temperature measuring device is not a practical means for measuring the ambient air surrounding the food because of the design, type, and use of the equipment, such as calrod units, heat lamps, cold plates, bainmaries, steamtables, insulated food transport containers, and salad bars. A permanent temperature measuring device is required in any unit storing potentially hazardous (time/temperature control for safety) food because of the potential growth of pathogenic microorganisms should the temperature of the unit exceed Code requirements. In order to facilitate routine monitoring of the unit, the device must be clearly visible.

BOO: Revash Restaurant Chantilly, VA.
  • Equipment and Utensils/Durability and Strength
    Observation: The "Kenmore" 1 door refrigerator is not designed and constructed to be durable.
    Correction: Equipment and utensils shall be designed and constructed to be durable and to retain their characteristic qualities under normal use conditions. Equipment and utensils must be designed and constructed to be durable and capable of retaining their original characteristics so that such items can continue to fulfill their intended purpose for the duration of their life expectancy and to maintain their easy cleanability. If they can not maintain their original characteristics, they may become difficult to clean, allowing for the harborage of pathogenic microorganisms, insects, and rodents. Equipment and utensils must be designed and constructed so that parts do not break and end up in food as foreign objects or present injury hazards to consumers. A common example of presenting an injury hazard is the tendency for tines of poorly designed single service forks to break during use.
  • Mobile Water Tank/Protective Cover or Device
    Observation: A cap and keeper chain, or other approved protective cover or device is not provided for the water tank inlet.
    Correction: A cap and keeper chain, closed cabinet, closed storage tube, or other approved protective cover or device shall be provided for a water inlet, outlet, and hose. Protective equipment provided for openings of the water supply must be in use to prevent contamination which may be present where the supply is exposed to the environment, i.e., at water inlets or outlets or the ends of transfer hoses.
