PIC was able to demonstrate knowledge during the inspection.
Observed the kitchen to be very warm during the inspection, potentially contributing to some high temperatures inside the reach in cooler. Recommend improving air circulation in the kitchen. Regulations require that the door be kept closed to prevent children from having access to the kitchen. Recommend looking into installing a door that opens on top but the bottom half may be locked and closed.
  • Critical: Food - Potentially Hazardous Food - Cold Holding* (corrected on site)
    Observation: Milk (45'F it) and string cheese (46'F st) cold holding at improper temperatures in the reach in cooler. Thermostat was lowered on the reach in cooler.
    Correction: Cold hold potentially hazardous food at 41°F or below to inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria.
  • Equipment - Fixed Equipment, Spacing or Sealing
    Observation: The caulking along the main counter top is beginning to peel away, and the work-space and back splash of the counter are becomming seperated, making this area very difficult to clean.
    Correction: Space the unit to allow access for cleaning along the sides, behind, and above or space the unit so that it is not more than 1/32 inch away from adjoining equipment, walls, and ceilings to minimize the need for cleaning.
  • Physical Facilities - Cleaning Frequency and Restrictions
    Observation: Wall behind the three compartment sink noted in need of cleaning.
    Correction: All floors, walls, and ceilings must 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.
