  • Critical: CLEANING PROCEDURE (repeated violation)
    Observation: Food employee observed improperly washing hands by running one hand under water for 1-3 seconds. Another time the food employee improperly washed hands by leaving a glove on one hand and washing both hands for 5 seconds. Another employee washed hands then recontaminated clean hands on faucet controls.
    Correction: Train food employees in proper handwashing techniques. Potential cross-contamination observed between raw animal food, hands, and ready-to-eat foods and remains uncorrected. this is imminent hazard #6 on the reinspection criteria. Correct By: 28-May-2015
  • Critical: WHEN TO WASH (corrected on site)
    Observation: Employee observed handling raw hamburger with gloved hand, discarding glove, handle clean plates, and put on new gloves without washing hands. Inspector notified employee to wash hands, but hands were not washed with approved methods.
    Correction: Wash hands after handling raw animal food with hands and before handling clean utensils or putting on new gloves to handle ready-to-eat foods. Hands may become contaminated when removing contaminated gloves. Recommended operator pre-set tongs and other utensils for indirect handling of raw animal foods. Discussed strategies for glove use, utensil use, and proper handwashing. Train all food handlers and/or obtain training for when to wash hands.
  • Critical: PREVENTING CONTAMINATION FROM HANDS - NO BARE HAND CONTACT WITH RTE-FOODS (corrected on site) (repeated violation)
    Observation: Employee observed handling cheese, hamburger, and bun with bare hands.
    Correction: Employees shall use single-use gloves, utensils, bakery papers or other approved means when handling ready-to-eat foods. Gloves subsequently used after discussion. Food employees and conditional employees infected with fecal-oral pathogens can shed viral and protozoan pathogens in the feces at levels up to 108 viral particles or oocysts per gram of feces. Having a high potential contamination level on the hands combined with a very low infectious dose necessary to cause infection are the reasons that FDA believes that handwashing alone is not an effective single barrier in the transmission of these fecal-oral pathogens.
  • Critical: PACKAGED AND UNPACKAGED FOOD - RAW OVER RTE-FOODS (corrected on site) (repeated violation)
    Observation: This a third consecutive repeat violation. There is a box of lemons and limes stored under two cartons of raw shell eggs in the 4-door Glenco cooler.

    Correction: Cook potentially hazardous raw animal foods to the appropriate time and temperature. Adjust procedures and methods. Operator returned the chicken breast to the grill until a temperature of 179F was acheived. Greater numbers and varieties of pathogens generally are found on poultry than on other raw animal foods. Therefore, a higher temperature, in combination with the appropriate time is needed to cook these products.
  • Critical: SEWAGE - BACKFLOW PREVENTION
    Observation: An air break exists between the sewage system and a drain from the ice bin behind the bar. Unable to see to verify air gap on ice machine drain.
