| No violation noted during this evaluation. | 12/10/2015 | Risk Factor | |
- Critical: Food - Potentially Hazardous Food - Cold Holding* (corrected on site) (repeated violation)
Observation: Shredded cheeses and portioned spaghetti were cold holding at improper temperatures
Correction: Discard the food and ensure that potentially hazardous foods for cold holding are maintained at 41°F or below to inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria.
- Cooling, Heating, and Holding Capacities
Observation: True low-boy refrigeration unit was overstocked and is not sufficient in number or capacity to meet the food storage demands of the establishment.
Correction: Provide additional refrigeration units necessary to maintain food items at or below 41 degrees Fahrenheit. Overstocked equipment does not allow for proper air circulation and/or heat transfer. Improper food storage temperatures are a major contributing factor to foodborne illness.
- Equipment - Cutting Surfaces (repeated violation)
Observation: The cutting board along the top of the True low-boy refrigerator is heavily scratched and scored. The food contact surface is no longer easily cleaned and sanitized due to condition.
Correction: Resurface or discard and replace the cutting boards to provide a food contact surface that is smooth, easily cleaned and sanitized.
- Non-Food Contact Surfaces
Observation: The nonfood contact surface of the cold box refrigeration unit (6 doors) has accumulations of grime and debris on inside ventilation fans.
Correction: Clean the surface at a frequency necessary to preclude accumulation of soil residues that become encrusted or attract insects and rodents.

Correction: Ensure all employees wear hair restraints such as hats, hair coverings or nets, beard restraints, and clothing that covers body hair, that are designed and worn to effectively keep their hair from contacting exposed food, clean equipment, utensils and linens, and unwrapped single-service and single-use articles. This section does not apply to food employees such as counter staff who only serve beverages and wrapped or packaged foods, hostesses, and wait staff if they present a minimal risk of contaminating exposed food
- Critical: Food - Packaged and Unpackaged - Separation, Packaging, and Segregation* (corrected on site) (repeated violation)
Observation: Observed raw beef laying on onions in a manner that may cause cross contamination of ready-to-eat food (RTE).
Correction: Separate raw foods during storage, preparation, holding, and display from raw RTE food including other raw food such as fish for sushi or molluscan shellfish, or other raw RTE food such as vegetables, and cooked RTE food.
- Thawing (repeated violation)
Observation: (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION): Observed Improper methods used to thaw raw meat and fish.
Correction: Thaw potentially hazardous foods by either of the following methods: 1. Under refrigeration that maintains food temperature at 41°F (45°F) 2. Completely submerged under running water at a temperature of 70°F or below with sufficient water velocity to agitate and float off loose particles in an overflow. Ready-to-eat food shall not exceed 41°F and raw animal foods shall not exceed 41°F for more than four hours 3. As part of the cooking process
- Critical: Food - Potentially Hazardous Food - Cold Holding* (repeated violation)
Observation: (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION): Observed the following foods cold holding at improper temperatures:
-Shredded cheese
-Diced tomatoes
-Ground beef
-Ranch dressing
-Sliced cheese
-Sliced ham
-Diced tomatoes
-Cooked noodles
-Milk
Correction: Relocated food to a refrigeration unit that is capable of maintaining food storage at 41°F or below.
- Sanitizing Solutions, Testing Devices
Observation: There is no properly working test kit provided in the facility for monitoring the concentration of the chemical sanitizing solutions.
Correction: Obtain a chlorine test kit so that employees can accurately monitor the concentration of the sanitizing solutions and maintain them at a safe and effective level.
- Equipment - Cutting Surfaces
Observation: The cutting boards along the prep tables are heavily scratched and scored. The food contact surface is no longer easily cleaned and sanitized due to condition.
Correction: Resurface or discard and replace the cutting boards to provide a food contact surface that is smooth, easily cleaned and sanitized.
- Refuse - Covering Receptacles
Observation: Observed lid on dumpster was broken off causing many insects to fly around the area.
Correction: Cover all waste containers when not in continuous use.
- Mops - Drying Mops (corrected on site)
Observation: Mops observed 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.

- Critical: Employee Health*
Observation: Employees or applicants are not aware of the reporting procedures concerning information about their health as they relate to the symptoms caused by illness, infection, or other source that is associated with an acute gastrointestinal illness or a lesion.
Correction: Have the license holder require employees or applicants report to the person in charge if they are experiencing the following symptoms or conditions: (1) diarrhea, fever, vomiting, jaundice, or sore throat with fever. (2) A lesion containing pus such as a boil or infected wound that is open or draining and is on the hands or wrists, unless an impermeable cover such as a finger cot or stall protects the lesion and a single-use glove is worn over by an impermeable cover or on other parts of the body, unless the lesions covered by a dry durable, tight-fitting bandage.
- Critical: Hands - When to Wash*
Observation: observed food handler wash his gloved hand in the hand sink instead of his bare hands.
Correction: Take gloves off then wash your hands
- Hair Restraints - Effectiveness
Observation: Employees observed working in the food service area without proper hair restraints.

This section does not apply to food employees such as counter staff who only serve beverages and wrapped or packaged foods, hostesses, and wait staff if they present a minimal risk of contaminating exposed food
- Critical: Food - Packaged and Unpackaged - Separation, Packaging, and Segregation* (corrected on site)
Observation: Raw foods of animal origin stored over ready-to-eat (RTE) food in the refrigeration unit.

Correction: Protect unpackaged food from environmental sources of contamination during preparation.
- Thawing
Observation: Improper methods used to thaw food in the prep sink
Correction: Thaw potentially hazardous foods by either of the following methods: 1. Under refrigeration that maintains food temperature at 41°F (45°F) 2. Completely submerged under running water at a temperature of 70°F or below with sufficient water velocity to agitate and float off loose particles in an overflow. Ready-to-eat food shall not exceed 41°F and raw animal foods shall not exceed 41°F for more than four hours 3. As part of the cooking process

Correction: Cool potentially hazardous foods from 135°F to 70°F within 2 hours and within a total of 6 hours from 135°F to 41°F. A longer time for cooling allows an ideal situation for bacterial growth. This has been shown to be the major contributing factor in many foodborne illnesses.
- Critical: Food - Potentially Hazardous Food - Hot Holding* (corrected on site)
