Correction: Food safe as meal period from11:00 to 1:00 and foods in unit not kept. Ensure unit is repaired as soon as possible. Critical: Food - Potentially Hazardous Food - Cold Holding* (corrected on site) Observation: Yogurts and cheese sticks as well as salads on line tested from 45 - 51 F stem temperature. Food safe as it was out less than 2 hours from time taken from refrigeration until end of meal - items kept after lunch and put in walk in refrigerator to cool down and use again. Also noted items in containers and bags for children and teachers to pick up and may be handled as patrons go through the line. Correction: Yogurt and tomato from salad tested at 2:20 - staff normally leave about 2 pm and reading 45 F for yogurt and 43 - 44 for tomato. Suggest put out less food and discard at the end of the meal period. All yogurts, cheeses and salads from line voluntarily discarded during inspection. Discarding items from the line also prevents putting items in the kitchen area for food processing and storage that may spread germs.

Overall excellent sanitation noted, good glove use, good food temperatures, labeling, and storage, good handwashing, and good cleanliness and sanitizing. Noted one worker not washing hands after soiled dishes, but did not go to do food or handle sanitized dishes. Discussed with manager, best practice, wash hands right away after any dirty process to avoid forgetting hands are not clean and handling food or dishes. Uncertain of employee health policy, review with all staff, symptoms, time to wait after symptoms are gone and reportable diseases. Pests - Controlling Pests* Observation: Mouse droppings around edges of floor and on bottom shelf of shelving in the dry storeroom. Per manager, room thoroughly cleaned yesterday no signs of rodents. Correction: Contact pest control. If CPO will come right away, leave room as is so CPO can assess where rodents have been. If CPO will not come right away, clean area and carefully monitor room for activity. Also ensure all cans and containers are wiped with cleaning cloth before opening.	10/03/2013	Routine
