Routine
Non-Food Contact Surfaces Observation: The nonfood contact surface of the vent hood louvers has accumulations of grime and debris.
Correction: Clean the surface at a frequency necessary to preclude accumulation of soil residues that become encrusted or attract insects and rodents.
Critical: Backflow Prevention, Air Gap* Observation: An air gap between the water supply outlet and the flood rim level ice machine drain line is not observed. If this direct connection exists between the drinking water system and a source of contaminated water during times of negative pressure, contaminated water may be drawn into and foul the entire system.
Correction: Provide an air gap with a diameter that is at least twice the diameter of the water supply inlet and not less that 1 inch for proper backflow prevention by the air gap.
