- Ventilation Hood-Systems, Drip Prevention/Functionality
Observation: The hood is missing the dripping pan.
Correction: Exhaust ventilation hood systems in food preparation and warewashing areas including components such as hoods, fans, guards, and ducting shall be designed to prevent grease or condensation from draining or dripping onto food, equipment, utensils, linens, single-service and single-use articles. The dripping of grease or condensation onto food constitutes adulteration and may involve contamination of the food with pathogenic organisms. Equipment, utensils, linens, and single service and single use articles that are subjected to such drippage are no longer clean.
- Physical Facilities/Repairing
Observation: The service window is missing the screen panels.
Correction: Physical facilities shall be maintained in good repair. Poor repair and maintenance compromises the functionality of the physical facilities. This requirement is intended to ensure that the physical facilities are properly maintained in order serve their intended purpose.

MOBILE UNIT NOT APPROVED Water piping leaking into the truck. repair plumbing to provide hot and cold water and proper drainage to waste tank.
- Food Temperature Measuring Devices
Observation: A food temperature not provided.
Correction: Food temperature measuring devices shall be provided and readily accessible for use in ensuring attainment and maintenance of food temperatures as specified under Chapter 3. The presence and accessibility of food temperature measuring devices is critical to the effective monitoring of food temperatures. Proper use of such devices provides the operator or person in charge with important information with which to determine if temperatures should be adjusted or if foods should be discarded.
- Sanitizing Solutions, Testing Devices
Observation: A test kit or other device that accurately measures the concentration of the sanitizing solution is not provided.
Correction: A test kit or other device that accurately measures the concentration in mg/L of sanitizing solutions shall be provided. Testing devices to measure the concentration of sanitizing solutions are required for 2 reasons: 1. The use of chemical sanitizers requires minimum concentrations of the sanitizer during the final rinse step to ensure sanitization
- Equipment/Food-Contact/Before Use After Cleaning/Sanitized
Observation: Sanitizer not provided.
Correction: Utensils and food-contact surfaces of equipment shall be sanitized before use after cleaning. Sanitization is accomplished after the warewashing steps of cleaning and rinsing so that utensils and food-contact surfaces are sanitized before coming in contact with food and before use.
- Water/Capacity/Quantity and Availability
Observation: Hot water not provided.
Correction: Hot water generation and distribution systems shall be sufficient to meet the peak hot water demands throughout the food establishment. Hot water required for washing items such as equipment and utensils and employees' hands, must be available in sufficient quantities to meet demand during peak water usage periods. Booster heaters for warewashers that use hot water sanitizing are designed to raise the temperature of hot water to a level that ensures sanitization. If the volume of water reaching the booster heater is not sufficient or hot enough, the required temperature for sanitization can not be reached. Manual washing of food equipment and utensils is most effective when hot water is used. Unless utensils are clean to sight and touch, they cannot be effectively sanitized.
- Plumbing System/Maintained in Good Repair
Observation: The water piping is not in maintained good repair.
Correction: A plumbing system shall be maintained in good repair. Improper repair or maintenance may result in the creation of obnoxious odors or nuisances, and may also adversely affect the operation of warewashing equipment or other equipment which depends on sufficient volume and pressure to perform its intended functions.
