- Critical: Food - Potentially Hazardous Food - Cold Holding* (corrected on site)
Observation: FOOD in sandwich prep unit cold holding at improper temperatures
Correction: Relocate food to a refrigeration unit that is capable of maintaining food storage at 41°F or below.
- Critical: Date Marking - Ready-to-Eat - Potentially Hazardous Food - Date Marking* (repeated violation)
Observation: The prepared ready-to-eat (RTE) FOOD in the refrigeration unit is not properly dated for disposition.
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.
- Sanitizing Solutions, Testing Devices (repeated violation)
Observation: There is no properly working test kit provided in the facility for monitoring the concentration of the chemical sanitizing solutions.
Correction: Obtain both chlorine and quaternary ammonia test kits so that employees can accurately monitor the concentration of the sanitizing solutions and maintain them at a safe and effective level.
- Handwashing - Using a Handwashing Lavatory (repeated violation)
Observation: The handwashing facility located at the kitchen is blocked, preventing access by employees for easy handwashing.
Correction: Access to the handwashing facility identified above is to be available during all hours of operation. Remove the @EQUIPMENT@ preventing its use.

Observation: Ash trays and/or smoking paraphernalia present in non-smoking area.
Correction: Remove ash trays or smoking paraphernalia from non-smoking area.
- Sanitizing Solutions, Testing Devices (repeated violation)
Observation: There is no properly working test kit provided in the facility for monitoring the concentration of the chemical sanitizing solutions.
Correction: Obtain a quaternary ammonia test kit so that employees can accurately monitor the concentration of the sanitizing solutions and maintain them at a safe and effective level.
- Critical: Warewashing - Manual & Mechanical Warewashing Equipment, Chemical Sanitization - Temperature, pH, Concentration & Hardness*
Observation: Quaternary Ammonium sanitizing solution used was not at an acceptable concentration.
Correction: Adjust the sanitizing solution to 200 parts per million or otherwise identified by manufacturer's recommendations.
- Physical Facilities in Good Repair (repeated violation)
Observation: Floors in kitchen are not maintained in good repair
Correction: Maintain physical facilities in good repair. Poor repair and maintenance compromises the functionality of the physical facilities.
