Inspection findings

Inspection date

Type

  • Critical: The person in charge was unable to demonstrate proper knowledge of food safety and prevention.
    To prevent or correct factors that may cause foodborne illness, based on the risks inherent to the food operation, during inspections and upon request, the person in charge shall demonstrate to the licensor the applicable food safety knowledge at the time of inspection. In general, the food handling knowledge was demonstrated by kitchen manager. However, the minimum cook temp quoted for the fried chicken was 160F. The minimum cook temp for chicken/poultry is 165F. CCBH checked an order of chicken from fryer and it was cooked to an internal temp of 207F. Likely the cook temp of the chicken served at facility exceeds the minimum cook temp required. It is important to know the minimum to ensure the methods employeed at facility are sufficient.

    A storage area and enclosure for refuse, recyclables, or returnables shall be maintained clean and free of unnecessary items. Address grease accumulate on the exterior of components for under ground grease storage bin to ensure they are maintained in a sanitary manner and will not allow for the mixing of rain/surface waters which could cause material to migrate from site as discussed.

    To prevent contamination, outer openings of an FSO or RFE shall be protected against the entry of insects and rodents as specified in this rule. Front door was open to outside with no protective barrier i.e., a screen door/storm door in place.

    The physical facilities shall be cleaned as often as necessary to keep them clean, and cleaning shall be done during periods when the least amount of food is exposed. Thoroughly clean floors/walls behind/under/and around equipment to address dirt and accumulate.
