Correction: Nonfood-contact surfaces of equipment that are exposed to splash, spillage, or other food soiling or that requires frequent cleaning shall be constructed of a corrosion-resistant, nonabsorbent, and smooth material. Nonfood-contact surfaces of equipment routinely exposed to splash or food debris are required to be constructed of nonabsorbent materials to facilitate cleaning. Equipment that is easily cleaned minimizes the presence of pathogenic organisms, moisture, and debris and deters the attraction of rodents and insects.
- Food-Contact Surfaces/Cleanability (corrected on site)
Observation: The food-contact surfaces of some knives are not smooth, or free of cracks and chips.
Correction: Multiuse food-contact surfaces shall be: (1) Smooth

Convenient accessibility of a handwashing facility encourages timely handwashing which provides a break in the chain of contamination from the hands of food employees to food or food-contact surfaces.
- Refuse/Areas, Enclosures, and Receptacles, Good Repair
Observation: The receptacle for refuse, recyclables, and/or returnables is not maintained in good repair. Side sliding doors are missing, and lids do not fit properly.
Correction: Storage areas, enclosures, and receptacles for refuse, recyclables, and returnables shall be maintained in good repair. Storage areas for garbage and refuse containers must be constructed so that they can be thoroughly cleaned in order to avoid creating an attractant or harborage for insects or rodents. In addition, such storage areas must be large enough to accommodate all the containers necessitated by the operation in order to prevent scattering of the garbage and refuse.

Observation: The nonfood-contact surfaces of the bread racks and milk crates used as shelves are not free of unnecessary ledges, projections, and crevices, and/or designed and constructed to be easily cleanable or maintained.
Correction: Nonfood-contact surfaces shall be free of unnecessary ledges, projections, and crevices, and designed and constructed to allow easy cleaning and to facilitate maintenance. Hard-to-clean areas could result in the attraction and harborage of insects and rodents and allow the growth of foodborne pathogenic microorganisms. Well-designed equipment enhances the ability to keep nonfood-contact surfaces clean.
- Equipment/Cooling, Heating, and Holding Capacities (corrected on site)
Observation: Prep refrigerator is not sufficient in capacity to properly cool grilled onions. Relocated to the walk in cooler and ice bath.
Correction: Equipment for cooling and heating food, and holding cold and hot food, shall be sufficient in number and capacity to provide food temperatures as specified under Chapter 3. The ability of equipment to cool, heat, and maintain potentially hazardous (time/temperature control for safety) foods at Code-required temperatures is critical to food safety. Improper holding and cooking temperatures continue to be major contributing factors to foodborne illness. Therefore, it is very important to have adequate hot or cold holding equipment with enough capacity to meet the heating and cooling demands of the operation.

Bacterial growth and/or toxin production can occur if potentially hazardous food (time/temperature control for safety food) remains in the temperature "Danger Zone" of 5ºC to 57ºC (41ºF to 135ºF) too long. Up to a point, the rate of growth increases with an increase in temperature within this zone. Beyond the upper limit of the optimal temperature range for a particular organism, the rate of growth decreases. Operations requiring heating or cooling of food should be performed as rapidly as possible to avoid the possibility of bacterial growth.
- Handwashing Sink/Using/Operation and Maintenance (corrected on site) (repeated violation)
