Inspection findings

Inspection date

Type
Lunch is delivered to the establishment by a licensed food establishment. Always ensure that the handsink in the adjacent room to the kitchen is accessible during any preparation and/or warewashing.
  • Nonfood-Contact Surfaces/Nonabsorbent
    Observation: The surface of the wooden countertop is not smooth, nonabsorbent, and easily cleanable.
    Correction: Nonfood-contact surfaces of equipment that are exposed to splash, spillage, or other food soiling or that requires frequent cleaning shall be constructed of a corrosion-resistant, nonabsorbent, and smooth material. Nonfood-contact surfaces of equipment routinely exposed to splash or food debris are required to be constructed of nonabsorbent materials to facilitate cleaning. Equipment that is easily cleaned minimizes the presence of pathogenic organisms, moisture, and debris and deters the attraction of rodents and insects.
  • Cutting Surfaces
    Observation: The cutting board was observed scratched, scoured, and in need of replacement.
    Correction: Surfaces such as cutting blocks and boards that are subject to scratching and scoring shall be resurfaced if they can no longer be effectively cleaned and sanitized, or discarded if they are not capable of being resurfaced. Cutting surfaces such as cutting boards and blocks that become scratched and scored may be difficult to clean and sanitize. As a result, pathogenic microorganisms transmissible through food may build up or accumulate. These microorganisms may be transferred to foods that are prepared on such surfaces.
