Inspection findings

Inspection date

Type

Unit in operation at the food truck rodeo.
MUT needs thermometer.
Thermometer in the Haier cooler should be in the front.

No violation noted during this evaluation.
09/13/2015Routine
Adequate thermometer, steramine tablets, and test kit. Employee health policy is already in place.
Send the inspector copies of invoices showing the necessary repairs have been made to the water pump in the mobile unit. Hot water would not come out of the hand sink, but did come out of the 3-vat sink.
Provided a commissary agreement with Bon Air BP at 8806 Forest Hill Avenue (804-272-4149) for the dumping of gray water and filling of the potable water tank. Owners are in the process of working and getting a commissary that provides food preparation space.

  • Handwashing Lavatory, Water Temperature, and Flow
    Observation: Water from the handwashing sink in the mobile unit was measured at a temperature less than 100°F. Measured at 86 F.
    Correction: Make necessary adjustments to valves and lines serving the handsink to provide water of at least 100°F to allow more effective removal of fatty soils encountered in kitchens.
04/26/2015Routine
Facility has not been operating over the winter months and isn't scheduled to operate until 4/26/15. The unit will be inspected, in action, on that date.
No violation noted during this evaluation.
03/12/2015Training
Adequate thermometer, quaternary ammonia spray sanitizer, steramine tablets, and test kit. 3-vat sink not currently set up or in use. Employee health policy is in place and was reviewed with the food handler.
Notes:
1. Some method for hot holding cooked egg rolls need to be developed. Egg rolls are cooked in a pot on the burner unit, and then sit in an open pan prior to an order being placed. (Try wrapping them in tin foil ASAP.) When ordered, egg roll is then further heated in a toaster oven. Temperatures of all hot held product must be kept at 135° F+ at all times. The egg rolls observed today were further heated and served within a few minutes. Less than 5 rolls are being prepared at one time.
2. The new RIC/RIF is holding very good temperatures today. Concerns regarding proper cold storage seem to be addressed with the new source of refrigeration.
3. Brisk business ensured all product would be utilized within 4 hours today.

  • Equipment and Utensils - Multiuse, Characteristics
    Observation: Take out bags coming in direct contact with bread.
    Correction: Use food storage bags to come in direct contact with foods. Other types of bags may allow for migration of deleterious substances, or transference of colors, odors, or tastes to food.

Looking to remove the grill and install a smaller oven in the next month.
Purchasing a reach-in-cooler so product can be cooled down and reheated.
