• Critical violations noted during the last inspection were noted during this inspection.

The operator is responsible for food safety by actively managing Foodborne Illness Risk Factors. It is very important for operators to practice
"active managerial control" to prevent these risk factors occurring in their food service establishments.
Reacting to inspection findings in the short term, without a plan to maintain long term control of risk factors, will not achieve the level of
food safety needed in licensed food service establishments.
The term "active managerial control" means the establishment operator's responsibility for developing and implementing food safety management
systems to prevent, eliminate, or reduce the occurrence of Foodborne Illness Risk Factors.
One or more of the following categories of Foodborne Illness Risk Factors are repeat violations from the last routine or complaint follow-up
inspection of this establishment:
Foodborne Illness Risk Factor Categories: Violation Number:
Employee Health (2);(3)
Good Hygienic Practices (4);(5)
Prevention of Contamination of Food from Hands (6);(7);(8)
Approved Food Sources (9);(10);(11);(12)
Protection from Contamination (13);(14);(15)
Time and Temperature Control of (16);(17);(18);(19);(20);(21);(22)
Potentially Hazardous Food
Control of these risk factors may be achieved through "active managerial control" using one or a combination of the following methods:
Risk Control Plans;
Standard Operating Procedures;
Buyer Specifications;
Menu Modification;
HACCP Plans; and
Equipment/Facility Modification
Establishments that do not establish long term control of foodborne illness risk factors will be assessed reinspection fees. Charging fees for
reinspections provides more program equity in assessing the costs of these inspections to those establishments receiving the service.
Wisconsin Food Code fact sheets can be used as a resource to establish needed foodborne illness risk factor control plans.

I recorded 171f at the plate during the final rinse of the dish machine.
I recorded 0ppm of sanitizer in the final rinse of the bar glass washer. Corrected to 100ppm during the inspection.
