    Correction: Food packaged in a food establishment, shall be labeled as specified in law, including 21 CFR 101 – Food Labeling, and 9 CFR 317 Labeling, marking devices, and containers. The identity of a food in terms of origin and composition is important for instance when a food may be implicated in a foodborne illness and for nutritional information requirements. Ingredient information is needed by consumers who have allergies to certain food or ingredients.
  • Equipment, Food-Contact Surfaces, Nonfood-Contact Surfaces, and Utensils/Clean (repeated violation)
    Observation: The nonfood-contact surfaces of the chips storage shelves and inside of all the refrigerators are not kept free of an accumulation of dust, dirt, food residue, and/or other debris.
    Correction: Nonfood-contact surfaces of equipment shall be kept free of an accumulation of dust, dirt, food residue, and other debris. The objective of cleaning focuses on the need to remove soil from nonfood contact surfaces so that pathogenic microorganisms will not be allowed to accumulate and insects and rodents will not be attracted.
  • Handwashing Sink/Using/Operation and Maintenance (corrected on site) (repeated violation)
    Observation: Sleeves of coffee cups observed in hand sink and also observed blocked by a small table and a box of styro-foam cups.
    Correction: A handwashing sink shall be maintained so that it is accessible at all times for employee use. Facilities must be maintained in a condition that promotes handwashing and restricted for that use. Convenient accessibility of a handwashing facility encourages timely handwashing which provides a break in the chain of contamination from the hands of food employees to food or food-contact surfaces.

  • Critical: Time/Temperature Control for Safety Food, Cold Holding (corrected on site)
    Observation: Cream cheese cold holding at the improper temperature of 57 F. Food was placed in chest freezer.
    Correction: Except during preparation, cooking, or cooling, or when time is used as the public health control as specified under section 3-501.19, and except as specified under paragraph (B) of this section, time/temperature control for safety food shall be maintained at 5ºC (41ºF) or less. Bacterial growth and/or toxin production can occur if time/temperature control for safety food remains in the temperature "Danger Zone" of 5ºC to 57ºC (41ºF to 135ºF) too long. Up to a point, the rate of growth increases with an increase in temperature within this zone. Beyond the upper limit of the optimal temperature range for a particular organism, the rate of growth decreases. Operations requiring heating or cooling of food should be performed as rapidly as possible to avoid the possibility of bacterial growth.
  • Food Labels/Labeling (repeated violation)
    Observation: Pastries packaged in the establishment is not labeled as specified in law.
    Correction: Food packaged in a food establishment, shall be labeled as specified in law, including 21 CFR 101 – Food Labeling, and 9 CFR 317 Labeling, marking devices, and containers.

Ingredient information is needed by consumers who have allergies to certain food or ingredients.
  • Characteristics/Multiuse
    Observation: The spatula used for preparing sandwiches is no longer durable, corrosion-resistant, and/or nonabsorbent and is in need of replacement.
    Correction: Materials that are used in the construction of utensils and food-contact surfaces of equipment may not allow the migration of deleterious substances or impart colors, odors, or tastes to food and under normal use conditions shall be durable, corrosion-resistant, and nonabsorbent. Inability to effectively wash, rinse, and sanitize the surfaces of food equipment may lead to the buildup of pathogenic organisms transmissible through food. Studies regarding the rigor required to remove biofilms from smooth surfaces highlight the need for materials of optimal quality in multiuse equipment.
  • Handwashing Sink/Using/Operation and Maintenance
    Observation: The handwashing sink is not maintained so that it is accessible at all times for employee use (blocked by cleaning equipment and brooms).
    Correction: A handwashing sink shall be maintained so that it is accessible at all times for employee use.

    Correction: Plumbing fixtures such as handwashing sinks, toilets, and urinals shall be cleaned as often as necessary to keep them clean and maintained and used as specified under section 5-205.11.

    Observation: The three glass doors cooling unit missing the internal thermometer.
    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.
  • Critical: Equipment Food-Contact Surfaces and Utensils/Cleaning Frequency (Critical) (repeated violation)
    Observation: The inside of the sandwiches cooling unit needs cleaning.
    Correction: Surfaces of utensils and equipment contacting potentially hazardous food (time/temperature control for safety food) may be cleaned less frequently than every 4 hours if equipment is used for storage of packaged or unpackaged food such as a reach-in refrigerator and the equipment is cleaned at a frequency necessary to preclude accumulation of soil residues.
