- Utensils - In-Use - Between-Use Storage (corrected on site)
Observation: In-use utensils improperly stored between use (ice scoop).
Correction: Store in-use utensils or dispensing utensils in one of the following manners: 1) In the food with their handles above the top of the food and the container. 2) In food that is not potentially hazardous with their handles above the top of the food within containers or equipment that can be closed. 3) On a clean portion of the food preparation table or cooking equipment only if the in-use utensil and the food-contact surface of the food preparation table or cooking equipment are cleaned and sanitized every 4 hours. 4) In running water of sufficient velocity to flush particulates to the drain. 5) In a clean, protected location if the utensils are used only with a food that is not potentially hazardous. 6) In a container of water if the water is maintained at a temperature of at least 135°F.
- Critical: Water Capacity* (corrected on site)
Observation: There is not a sufficient water supply to this facility for proper sanitization within this food service establishment (no hot water).
Correction: EHS is to confer with his/her supervisor for possible closure of establishment for an imminent health hazard. (See section 12 VAC 5-421-3910)
- Physical Facilities in Good Repair
Observation: Floor tiles in several areas of the establishment are not maintained in good repair
Correction: Maintain physical facilities in good repair. Poor repair and maintenance compromises the functionality of the physical facilities.
- Physical Facilities - Cleaning Frequency and Restrictions
Observation: The floors in the kitchen 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.

Correction: Thaw potentially hazardous foods by either of the following methods: 1. Under refrigeration that maintains food temperature at 41°F (45°F) 2. Completely submerged under running water at a temperature of 70°F or below with sufficient water velocity to agitate and float off loose particles in an overflow. Ready-to-eat food shall not exceed 41°F and raw animal foods shall not exceed 41°F for more than four hours 3. As part of the cooking process
- Non-Food Contact Surfaces (corrected on site)
