Inspection findings

Inspection date

Type

Manager states that the 2-drawer salad preparation station unit and the chest freezer are in the process of being replaced. Always monitor cold holding temperatures to ensure TCS food product is held at 41 F or below.
  • Reheating for Hot Holding, Commercially Processed (corrected on site)
    Observation: Commercially prepared marinara (96 F) and meatballs (106 F) on the steam table observed not properly reheated to 135 F before being hot held (product was reheated by the person in charge).
    Correction: Ready-to-eat food taken from a commercially processed, hermetically sealed container, or from an intact package from a food processing plant that is inspected by the food regulatory authority that has jurisdiction over the plant, shall be heated to a temperature of at least 57ºC (135ºF) for hot holding. Proper reheating provides a major degree of assurance that pathogens will be eliminated. The potential for growth of pathogenic bacteria is greater in reheated cooked foods than in raw foods. This is because spoilage bacteria, which inhibit the growth of pathogens by competition on raw product, are killed during cooking. Subsequent recontamination will allow pathogens to grow without competition if temperature abuse occurs.
  • Time/Temperature Control for Safety Food, Cold Holding (corrected on site) (repeated violation)
    Observation: Sliced tomatoes (46, 47 F), blue cheese (46 F), and lettuce (45 F) observed cold holding at improper temperature in the far right 2-drawer salad preparation unit (product discarded by the person in charge).
    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.
  • Equipment/Good Repair and Proper Adjustment (repeated violation)
    Observation: The lid to the ice cream freezer was observed cracked and in need of replacement. The chest freezer was observed rusted damaged and in need of replacement. The far right 2-drawer salad preparation unit was observed not properly maintaining an ambient air temperature of 41 F or less (manager states that the unit is due to be replaced).
    Correction: Equipment shall be maintained in a state of repair and condition that meets the requirements specified under Parts 4-1 [Materials for Construction and Repair] and 4-2 [Design and Construction]. Proper maintenance of equipment to manufacturer specifications helps ensure that it will continue to operate as designed. Failure to properly maintain equipment could lead to violations of the associated requirements of the Code that place the health of the consumer at risk. For example, refrigeration units in disrepair may no longer be capable of properly cooling or holding potentially hazardous (time/temperature control for safety) foods at safe temperatures.
  • Equipment, Food-Contact Surfaces, Nonfood-Contact Surfaces, and Utensils/Clean
    Observation: Interior and exterior of the refrigeration/freezer units observed in need of cleaning.
    Correction: The food-contact surfaces of cooking equipment and pans shall be kept free of encrusted grease deposits and other soil accumulations. The objective of cleaning focuses on the need to remove organic matter from food-contact surfaces so that sanitization can occur and 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.
  • Hand Drying Provision (corrected on site) (repeated violation)
    Observation: Disposable paper towels observed not properly provided at the back kitchen area handsink.
    Correction: Each handwashing sink or group of adjacent handwashing sinks shall be provided with: (A) Individual, disposable towels
  • Intensity/Lighting
    Observation: Some of the lights in the back kitchen preparation area were observed not working and in need of replacement.
    Correction: The light intensity shall be at least 540 lux (50 foot candles) at a surface where a food employee is working with food or working with utensils or equipment such as knives, slicers, grinders, or saws where employee safety is a factor. Lighting levels are specified so that sufficient light is available to enable employees to perform certain functions such as reading labels
  • Cleaning, Frequency and Restrictions (repeated violation)
    Observation: Floor surface under and around facility equipment observed in need of cleaning.
    Correction: Physical facilities shall be cleaned as often as necessary to keep them clean. Cleaning of the physical facilities is an important measure in ensuring the protection and sanitary preparation of food. A regular cleaning schedule should be established and followed to maintain the facility in a clean and sanitary manner.
  • Cleaning of Plumbing Fixtures (repeated violation)
    Observation: Kitchen handsinks observed in need of cleaning.
    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. Handwashing facilities are critical to food protection and must be maintained in operating order at all times so they will be used.

Today's inspection was a follow-up for cleaning and sanitation. Overall cleanliness has significantly improved, however, prep coolers could use some work. Substantial compliance observed! Thank you!
  • Equipment/Nonfood-Contact Surfaces/Cleaning Frequency (repeated violation)
    Observation: The nonfood-contact surfaces of the all the prep coolers on mainline (gaskets, shelving, lids), are not cleaned at a frequency necessary to preclude the accumulation of soil residues.
    Correction: Nonfood-contact surfaces of equipment shall be cleaned at a frequency necessary to preclude accumulation of soil residues. The presence of food debris or dirt on nonfood contact surfaces may provide a suitable environment for the growth of microorganisms which employees may inadvertently transfer to food. If these areas are not kept clean, they may also provide harborage for insects, rodents, and other pests.
10/07/2015Follow-up
Today's inspection was an NOV follow-up. Substantial compliance for priority violations observed, however cleaning schedule is not suiting to the cleaning needs. A follow-up inspection will be conducted on or after 14 days to evaluate cleanliness (17 Sep 15).
