- Critical: Hands - Preventing Contamination from Hands* (corrected on site) (repeated violation)
Observation: Employees observed handling ready-to-eat (RTE) food with their bare hands.
Correction: Provide suitable utensils such as deli tissue, spatulas, tongs, single-use gloves, or dispensing equipment to handle RTE food to prevent contamination from hands.
- Critical: Food - Packaged and Unpackaged - Separation, Packaging, and Segregation* (corrected on site) (repeated violation)
Observation: Different types of raw animal foods stored in such a manner that may cause cross contamination.Chicken over beef.
Correction: Separate types of raw animal foods from each other such as beef, fish, lamb pork, and poultry during storage, preparation, holding, and display by the following: (a) Using separate equipment for each type. (b) Arranging each type of food in equipment so that cross contamination of one type with another is prevented. (c) Preparing each type of food at different times or in separate areas.
- Critical: Cooling* (corrected on site)
Observation: Beans noted not being adequately cooled to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria.
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.
- Handwashing Lavatory, Water Temperature, and Flow
Observation: Water from the handwashing sink in dish area was measured at a temperature less than 100°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.
- Handwashing - Using a Handwashing Lavatory (corrected on site)
Observation: The handwashing facility located in the kitchen is blocked, preventing access by employees for easy handwashing. Sink is also being used as a dump station.
Correction: Access to the handwashing facility identified above is to be available during all hours of operation. Remove the trash container preventing its use.
- Handwashing Cleanser - Availability (corrected on site)
Observation: Soap was not provided at the hand washing lavatory in the front line.
Correction: Hand soap must be provided at all hand washing lavatories to encourage proper hand washing. Hand cleanser must always be present to aid in reducing microorganisms and particulate matter found on hands.

- Critical: Shellfish - Shellstock - Maintaining Identification*
Observation: Inadequate record keeping system of shellfish tags.
Correction: Use an approved record keeping system that keeps the tags or labels in chronological order correlated to the date when, or dates during which the shellstock are sold or served.
- Cloths - Wiping Cloths - Use Limitation (corrected on site)
Observation: Wiping cloths improperly stored between use.
Correction: Ensure wet wiping cloths are stored in a chemical sanitizer at the proper concentration between use.
- Critical: Food - Potentially Hazardous Food - Cold Holding*
Observation: Cheese 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*
Observation: The prepared ready-to-eat (RTE) sauces in the refrigeration unit are 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.
- Warewashing Equipment, Determining Chemical Sanitizer Concentration
Observation: A sanitizer test kit is not being used to ensure the chemical sanitizing solution(s) are at the proper concentration.
Correction: Use the appropriate chemical test kit to ensure the sanitizing solution is maintained at the proper solution.
- Non-Food Contact Surfaces
Observation: The nonfood contact surface of the lower shelves of several table/shelving units have accumulations of grime and debris.
Correction: Clean the surface at a frequency necessary to preclude accumulation of soil residues that become encrusted or attract insects and rodents.
- Critical: Plumbing System Maintained in Good Repair*
Observation: A recent repair to plumbing system components of the dish machine are not in accordance with law (still leaking).
Correction: All repairs to plumbing equipment and lines are to be in accordance with law. Properly repair the equipment.
- Floor Carpeting, Restrictions and Installation
Observation: Carpeting (carpet mats) installed as floor covering in kitchen area.
Correction: Remove carpet mats from food prep area.
- Handwashing Signage/Handwashing Facilities (repeated violation)
Observation: A sign or poster that notifies food employees to wash their hands is not provided at all lavatories used by food employees
Correction: Provide a sign or poster that notifies food employees to wash their hands at all handwashing lavatories used by food employees.
- Mops - Drying Mops
