Inspection findings

Inspection date

Type

Overall excellent. Good food temperatures, good processes to check food temperatures for all stages of food prep, good cleanliness with 2-3 items in need of better cleaning, good food storage, and labeling. Sanitizer in place at 300 ppm Quats and used, *no wiping bucket with hot soapy water to remove food debris, and greasy residue. Suggest-keep bucket of hot soapy water at each sanitize station to clean first, and make sanitizer more effective to kill bacteria. Employee health with mixed knowledge for symptoms by staff, reviewed entire policy with manager. Flyer present, ensure all staff are trained and understand entire policy. Good overall handwashing, and good no bare hand contact. 3-4 staff members without district food handler cards - ensure current district food handler cards are obtained right away. Raw wing lowboy out of order pending repair - good process in place for chicken. Please contact EHS when repair done and with cause of malfunction. Dishmachine with white coating inside machine - contact representative to check machine - substance comes off with fingers, but is evenly coated on inside of unit, so likely adjustment needed.

    Correction: Clean shelving more frequently - ie if done once a week, make frequency twice / week. Clean fans before use. **Clean intake cover when facility closed. Contact maintenance and find - how often filters are changed and how often entire ventilation system (ductwork) is cleaned. Schedule cleaning. Ensure cleaning and filter changes are done often enough to keep system clean and functional and not blow dusty air out into facility. Schedule maintenance for preparation refrigerator to prevent breakdown.

Overall very good to excellent sanitation seen with good handwashing, good food temperatures, storage and labeling, good no bare hand contact, good employee health knowledge and sanitizer in place (being changed to fresh solution on arrival) and tested at 300 ppm Quats. Noted non-food contact surfaces in need of better cleaning and **Ceiling at entryway leaking with very bad bowing present - repairman already contacted and coming today - requested time for repairs and use other door until repaired. Some light covers warped, one with corner missing - secure, tape open area and replace. After inspection complete - GM contacted EHS to report that repairman at facility and removed bowing - leaking part of ceiling with temporary cover in place.
  • Nonfood Contact Surfaces
    Observation: The nonfood contact surface of the bins used to hold utensils etc. with several small "sections" trapping food debris and dirt and making difficult to clean and keep clean, is not designed or constructed to be easily cleanable.
    Correction: Replace bin with bins that are smooth, durable and easy to clean, and will provide a surface that is free of unnecessary ledges, projections, and crevices.
  • Equipment - Food Contact Surfaces, Nonfood Contact Surfaces, and Utensils (repeated violation)
    Observation: Observed accumulations of dust, dirt, food residue or other debris on the following nonfood-food contact surfaces: Pizza oven, Shelving for dirty items and bottom shelving, wall behind pizza cut table, ****Fan covers for walk in refrigerator and walk in freezer - that will become a contamination risk if not corrected right away.

Overall very good with some additional training needed. Observed good handwashing in kitchen before preparing food, but handwashing missed after eating and after putting hands in pockets. Noted good no bare hand contact and good food temperatures. Overall good knowledge of symptoms that require exclusion from facility but poor understanding of when to return to work from diseases and mixed knowledge of diseases. Sanitizer present at 200 ppm quats and used, but dishmachine not tested. Training needed for dishwashing. Test strips found before end of inspection and machine tested with good sanitizing residual. Additional menu/ingredient items added. Walk in Refrigerator very crowded. Some additional cleaning needed.
  • Person in Charge (corrected on site)

  • Critical: Employee Health* (corrected on site)
    Observation: Staff with mixed to poor understanding of how the employee health policy works. Flyer present.
    Correction: Reviewed with shift supervisor. Review with staff including other managers.
  • Equipment - Good Repair and Proper Adjustment
    Observation: Dishmachine backsplash to sanitizing drainboard poorly designed so that dish racks must be lifted above backsplash to place on sanitizing drainboard instead of sliding out of machine onto drainboard.
    Correction: Alter backsplash so that racks will easily slide from machine to drainboard.
