  • Person in Charge
    Observation: Observed no means to verify that food employees are informed of their responsibility to report to their PIC information concerning their health and activities as they relate to diseases transmitted through food.
    Correction: Recommend that the PIC advise employees of their responsibility to report in accordance with law information concerning their health and activities as they relate to diseases transmitted through food.
  • Critical: Date Marking - Ready-to-Eat - Potentially Hazardous Food - Date Marking* (corrected on site)
    Observation: Observed the prepared and commercially processed ready-to-eat (RTE) chicken salad, baked potatoes, deli ham, Italian sausage, and guacamole in the refrigeration units not properly dated for disposition.
    Correction: Recommend marking the name and "consume by" date on the container of RTE foods at the time of preparation, or when the commercial package is opened, if the food is to be held for more than 24 hours. If the food is held at 41°F or below the food shall be served or sold within 7 calendar days. Some harmful bacteria continue to grow even at refrigeration temperatures so limiting the amount of time in storage limits the amount of growth allowed for these bacteria.
  • Temperature Measuring Devices
    Observation: Observed no temperature measuring device located in the two grill prep units, Haier chest freezer, pizza prep unit, and reach in coolers in the middle kitchen.
    Correction: Recommend providing a temperature measuring device in all hot or cold holding equipment used to store potentially hazardous foods so that employees can routinely monitor the ambient air temperature.
  • Equipment - Cutting Surfaces (repeated violation)
    Observation: Observed the cutting board(s) along the grill prep units, salad prep unit, in the middle kitchen above the reach in cooler, and in storage (middle kitchen) heavily scratched and scored. The food contact surface is no longer easily cleaned and sanitized due to condition.
    Correction: Recommend resurfacing or discarding and replacing the cutting boards to provide a food contact surface that is smooth, easily cleaned and sanitized.
  • Handwashing Cleanser - Availability (corrected on site)
    Observation: Observed no soap provided at the hand washing lavatory in the front kitchen.
    Correction: Recommend that hand soap be provided at all hand washing lavatories to encourage proper hand washing. Hand cleanser must always be present to aid in reducing microorganisms and particulate matter found on hands.
  • Physical Facilities - Cleaning Frequency and Restrictions (repeated violation)
    Observation: Observed the walls and floors in need of cleaning, specifically at the cook lines in the front and middle kitchen.
    Correction: Recommend cleaning. All floors, walls, and ceilings must be cleaned as often as necessary to keep them clean.

    Correction: Recommend discarding the cheese sauce improperly cooled. Cool potentially hazardous foods from 135°F to 70°F within 2 hours and within a total of 6 hours from 135°F to 41°F. A longer time for cooling allows an ideal situation for bacterial growth. This has been shown to be the major contributing factor in many foodborne illnesses. PIC discarded food.
