Violation descriptions and comments

Feb 10, 2010

PERSONNEL
2g Bare hand contact
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
Touching ready-to-eat foods (i.e. foods that will not go through a further cooking process prior to serving) with bare hands increases the risk of the spread of foodborne illness. Ready-to-eat foods cannot be handled with bare hands but may be handled with gloved hands, tongs, or other utensils.
SANITATION RINSE
4a Manual
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
All equipment, utensils and food contact surfaces must be properly washed and then sanitized to minimize food contamination. Washing is the removal of food residue or soil from surfaces. Sanitization is the application of heat or chemicals on cleaned surfaces that results in a 99.999% reduction of disease-causing microorganisms. There are many different types of sanitizers that can be used in food establishments. The most common include: hot water between 165oF and 180oF, chlorine mixed at a concentration of 50 ppm, quaternary ammonia mixed at a concentration of 200 ppm, and iodine mixed at a concentration of 12.5 ppm.
When equipment and utensils are washed and sanitized by hand a three basin sink is required. The first basin is filled with hot soapy water. The second is filled with clean rinse water and the third is filled with water containing sanitizer. Equipment and utensils are washed in the first basin to remove all food residue. They are then rinsed free of detergents in the second compartment and are then placed in the third compartment where they are sanitized. The equipment and utensils must remain in the sanitizing solution for at least one minute to allow the sanitizer enough contact time to effectively kill any disease-causing microorganisms that may be left on the surfaces after washing and rinsing.

Establishments will often have equipment that needs to be washed and sanitized, but is too large to fit into warewashing sinks or dishmachines, or is not designed to be submerged in water. This equipment must be washed and sanitized “in place”. Surfaces must be washed with a detergent solution to remove food residue, then rinsed free of detergents with clean water and then sanitized with an approved sanitizer.
TESTING DEVICES
11a Refrigeration units not provided with accurate, conspicuous thermometer
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
Conspicuous thermometers are required in all refrigeration units and hot food holding cabinets where potentially hazardous foods are stored. Maintaining foods at safe temperatures is critical in controlling the growth of disease-causing bacteria. Should the temperature of a refrigerator exceed 41oF or a hot holding cabinet be less than 140oF, bacterial growth can occur. In order to facilitate the routine monitoring of equipment temperatures, clearly visible thermometers must be provided in all refrigerations and hot holding cabinets and must be routinely checked by food establishment personnel.
TESTING DEVICES
11c Chemical test kits not provided; inaccessible
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
The temperature of the wash and rinse water is a critical factor effecting cleaning and sanitizing of equipment and utensils. It is important that warewashing machines and high-temperature three-compartment warewashing sinks are therefore equipped with accurate thermometers to measure water temperatures. Sanitzer test kits must also be provided and used by food workers to ensure that the concentration of any chemical sanitizers being used are correct. Warewashing machines are required to operate at specific water flow pressures. Water flow pressure can greatly effect how well a dishmachine will sanitize. Low water flow pressure results in inadequate spray patterns and incomplete coverage of the equipment and utensils being washed. Excessive flow pressures will atomize water droplets and again result in incomplete coverage. A pressure gauge installed on the dishmachine’s final rinse line allows workers to monitor the water flow pressure of a dishmachine.
IMPROPER CLEANING OF EQUIPMENT AND UTENSILS
12a Food contact surfaces
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
Microorganisms can get into food by food handlers using dirty utensils, cutting boards, slicers, work counters and other surfaces that directly come into contact with food. Food contact surfaces must be kept clean so they are not a source of food contamination. To prevent bacteria from growing on food contact surfaces they must be cleaned and sanitzed after each use or once every four hours when used in a constant production line bases. During manual warewashing of equipment and utensils, all soaps and abrasive detergents must be rinsed from food contact surfaces so sanitzing agents can be properly applied and be effective.
PHYSICAL FACILITIES
14a Plumbing not installed/maintained
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
It is critical that all plumbing fixtures, water and sewer lines in food establishments be maintained in proper working order. Poorly maintained plumbing systems may result in potential heath hazard such as cross connections, the back up of sewage, or leakage. These conditions may directly result in the contamination of food, equipment, utensils or paper goods. They can also adversely affect the ability of food handlers to adequately wash their hands, an establishment’s warewashing operations and increase the potential for cross contamination of food and equipment and utensil.
Toilet rooms and facilities must be of sanitary design and kept clean and in good repair to help prevent contamination of food preparation areas, to motivate employees to maintain a high degree of personal hygiene and to use good sanitary practices. Doors to toilet rooms must be kept closed to help prevent the possible spread of disease-causing microorganisms by flies.
PHYSICAL FACILITIES
14d Lighting inadequate
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
Light levels are specified so that sufficient light is available to enable workers to read labels, identify toxic materials, recognize the condition of food, utensils and other supplies, work safely and to evaluate cleaning. Sufficient light makes the need for cleaning apparent by making any accumulation of food spills and other soil conspicuous. Lights that are shielded, coated or shatter resistant help prevent breakage and contamination of food, clean equipment, utensils and single service items from fragments of glass should a bulb break.

2d Poor hygienic practices
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
Retail food establishments must have a Health Department approved Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) plan in place when vacuum packageing or when conducting other forms of modified oxygen packaging (MAP). Foods not properly processed using MAP techniques are prone to the growth of botulism. All MAP processed foods must be held refrigerated at 41oF or less until cooking or service. Shelf life of MAP foods are not to exceed 10 days.

FOOD LABELING AND PROTECTION
9b Food unprotected from contamination
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
Freezing prevents microbial growth in foods, but usually does not destroy all microorganisms. Improper thawing provides an opportunity for surviving bacteria to grow to harmful numbers. If the food is then refrozen, significant numbers of bacteria may be preserved in the food.
Disease-causing organisms can contaminate and/or grow in food that is not stored properly. Drips from condensation and drafts of unfiltered air can be sources of microbial contamination for stored foods. Shoes carry contamination onto the floors of food preparation and storage areas. Raw meats and poultry can contaminate cooked and ready to eat foods if stored above these ready to eat items. Even trace amounts of refuse or wastes present in toilet rooms, rooms used for dressing, storing garbage or tools, or rooms housing machinery can become sources of food contamination.

UTENSILS - SINGLE SERVICE ARTICLES
13a Utensils not provided; used/stored improperly
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
To help prevent contamination of food by workers, utensils must be provided and used to dispense food. Utensils must also be provided for use in all customer self service areas such as salad bars, buffets and for bulk food dispensing.
Utensils that are provided to dispense and serve foods must be stored and handled in a manner that protects the utensil and the food from contamination. Contaminated utensils will contaminate the foods that are being dispensed and served. To prevent possible contamination of food by utensils during pauses in preparation and dispensing , utensils must be stored:
a) in the food with the handle up out of the food,
b) in a running water dipper well,
c) in ice
water or in hot water that is above 140oF,
d) on a clean dry surface if the utensil is cleaned and sanitized once every four hours.

FOOD SOURCE
1c Cross-contamination
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
Disease-causing bacteria can be transferred to food from utensils that have been stored on surfaces which have not been cleaned and sanitized. Equipment such as meat grinders can transfer disease-causing bacteria from one animal species to another if not cleaned and sanitized between different species. Some disease-causing microorganisms survive outside the body for considerable periods of time. Food that comes into contact directly or indirectly with surfaces that are not clean and sanitized is liable to such contamination.
PERSONNEL
2c Hands not washed as needed
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
The hands are particularly important in transmitting foodborne disease-causing organisms. Food employees with dirty hands and/or fingernails may contaminate the food being prepared. Therefore, any activity which may contaminate the hands must be followed by thorough handwashing. Even seemingly healthy employees may serve as reservoirs for disease-causing microorganisms that are transmissible through food. Staphylococci bacteria, for example, can be found on the skin and in the mouth, throat, and nose of many healthy employees. The hands of employees can be contaminated by touching their nose, mouth, hair or other body parts.

Shelf life of MAP foods are not to exceed 10 days.
FOOD TEMPERATURE CONTROL
3c Hold hot at 135 °F or greater
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
Most food poisonings are associated with foods held at temperatures between 41oF and 140oF for extended periods of time. Health Department inspections stress temperature control of potentially hazardous food.
Bacterial growth and possible toxin production by some bacteria, can occur in potentially hazardous foods that remain at temperatures between 41oF and 140oF for extended periods of time. Bacterial growth is greatly reduced when food temperatures reach 120oF. It is almost completely inhibited at 140oF.
Bacterial growth and possible toxin production by some bacteria, will occur in potentially hazardous foods that remain at temperatures between 41oF and 140oF for extended periods of time. If a food is held “off” temperature (between 41oF and 140oF) for only a short time, no significant bacterial growth or toxin production should occur. When time is used to control bacterial growth, potentially hazardous foods can be held off temperature for only four hours or less. After this time any food product that has not been served must be discarded. Operations that use time as a control must develop a plan that outlines food handling procedures, identifies when a food item is removed from temperature control and when it is to be disposed of. This plan must be approved by the Health Department.

TOXIC ITEMS
8a Improperly stored
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
Separation of cleaners, sanitizers and other chemicals from food, equipment and utensils helps ensure that chemical contamination does not occur. Cleaners, sanitizers and other chemicals must be stored below and away from all food, food preparation areas, warewashing areas, clean equipment and utensils, paper good and single service items.
TOXIC ITEMS
8c Improperly used
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
Failure to use cleaners, sanitizers, and other chemicals properly can be very dangerous. Directions listed on container labels must be followed correctly. Failure to follow stated instructions could result in injury to workers or customers. Sanitizers must be used at the proper concentrations: Chlorine 50 ppm, Quaternary Ammonia 200 ppm, and Iodine 12.5 ppm. High levels of sanitizers or soaps can leave harmful residues.

12b Non-food contact surfaces
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
The surfaces of cabinets, utensil drawers, shelves, the outsides surfaces of refrigerators, hot holding equipment and other nonfood contact surfaces must be cleaned to keep them free of accumulation of food spills, dirt and grease. The presence of food debris or dirt on nonfood contact surfaces may provide a suitable environment for the growth of bacteria. Workers may inadvertently transfer this contamination to food. Accumulation of food spills and food residue on nonfood contact surfaces may also be a source of food and harborage of insects, rodents, and other pest.

WATER * SEWAGE * PLUMBING SYSTEMS
5b Hot & cold water inadequate
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
The availability of sufficient, safe water is a basic requirement for proper sanitation within a food establishment. All water supplied to food establishments, either from public systems or private wells, must meet the requirements of the Colorado Primary Drinking Water Regulations. A sufficient supply of hot water is critical for employee hand washing, washing of equipment and utensils, and general cleaning needed in all food establishments.
WATER * SEWAGE * PLUMBING SYSTEMS
5c Unprotected backflow, back siphonage
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
Plumbing connections between potable or drinking water plumbing systems and non-potable water systems are called cross connections. Cross connections can occur in many different ways in a food establishment. The simplest may be a hose attached to a faucet that is dropped into a container or sink filled with non-potable, contaminated water. In this example there is a direct connection between the building’s potable water system and the contaminated or non-potable water in the container or sink. To prevent the “backflow” of contaminated water back into the building’s water system caused by siphonage, a proper backflow protection device must be installed on the faucet where the hose is attached. Backflow devices must be correctly installed to assure their proper operation and maintenance. Backflow devices must be installed on all faucets or hose bibs where a hose can be attached, on soap and other chemical dispensing systems that are plumbed to the buildings water systems, on water lines to dish machines and in soft drink carbonator systems. To prevent the possibility of sewage contacting food or backing up into fixtures such as food preparation sinks, warewashing sinks, ice bins, refrigerators or dishmachines, the drainage systems from these fixtures must drain through an “air break” before entering the sewer. This physical gap in the drain line does not allow waste water to back up into fixtures if a sewage back up should occur.

IMPROPER CLEANING OF EQUIPMENT AND UTENSILS
12c Dishwashing operations
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
Prior to washing and sanitizing heavy food residue left on equipment and utensils must be removed. This pre-scraping or flushing of equipment and utensils helps keep wash and rinse water clean and improves the results of washing and sanitizing
Warewashing water temperatures are a critical factor effecting how well dishwashing detergents work to remove organic matter from equipment and utensils. If wash water temperatures are too low, dish detergents can not effectively dissolve and remove oils and animal fats from dirty equipment and utensils. Wash and rinse water must be kept clean. Equipment and utensils washed and rinsed in heavily soiled water results in soiled and inadequately sanitized surfaces.
After washing and saintizing, clean equipment and utensils must be allowed to drain and air-dry before they are stacked and put away. Wet surfaces of equipment and utensils provide an environment that may allow for the growth of microorganisms. Drying equipment and utensils by hand is prohibited. Hand drying of wet equipment and utensils transfers microorganisms from food workers to utensil surfaces. Clean equipment and utensils must be stored off the floor. Pots, pans, glasses must be stored inverted to help protect them from contamination.
UTENSILS - SINGLE SERVICE ARTICLES
13a Utensils not provided; used/stored improperly

Poorly maintained plumbing systems may result in potential heath hazard such as cross connections, the back up of sewage, or leakage. These conditions may directly result in the contamination of food, equipment, utensils or paper goods. They can also adversely affect the ability of food handlers to adequately wash their hands, an establishment’s warewashing operations and increase the potential for cross contamination of food and equipment and utensil.
Toilet rooms and facilities must be of sanitary design and kept clean and in good repair to help prevent contamination of food preparation areas, to motivate employees to maintain a high degree of personal hygiene and to use good sanitary practices. Doors to toilet rooms must be kept closed to help prevent the possible spread of disease-causing microorganisms by flies.
PHYSICAL FACILITIES
14i Restrooms
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
Restrooms must be maintained in a clean and sanitary manner to minimize the presence and spread of disease-causing bacteria and viruses. Unclean surfaces may also be a source of food and harborage of insects, rodents, and other pests. Restrooms should be equipped with a waste bin that is emptied daily or more frequently if necessary to keep the surrounding area free of trash. Restrooms should also be equipped with dispensed toilet tissue.

IMPROPER EQUIPMENT DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION
10a Food contact surfaces
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
Food contact surfaces of equipment and utensils must be designed and constructed to be smooth, durable, non-absorbant and easily cleanable. These surfaces must also be constructed of safe materials that will not impart toxic substances into the food when foods are in contact with these surfaces. Equipment that is of poor design and construction does not allow for easy cleaning and will result in the accumulation of soal and the contamination of the food that comes into contact with it.

Separation of cleaners, sanitizers and other chemicals from food, equipment and utensils helps ensure that chemical contamination does not occur. Cleaners, sanitizers and other chemicals must be stored below and away from all food, food preparation areas, warewashing areas, clean equipment and utensils, paper good and single service items.
IMPROPER CLEANING OF EQUIPMENT AND UTENSILS
12b Non-food contact surfaces
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
The surfaces of cabinets, utensil drawers, shelves, the outsides surfaces of refrigerators, hot holding equipment and other nonfood contact surfaces must be cleaned to keep them free of accumulation of food spills, dirt and grease. The presence of food debris or dirt on nonfood contact surfaces may provide a suitable environment for the growth of bacteria. Workers may inadvertently transfer this contamination to food. Accumulation of food spills and food residue on nonfood contact surfaces may also be a source of food and harborage of insects, rodents, and other pest.
UTENSILS - SINGLE SERVICE ARTICLES
13a Utensils not provided; used/stored improperly
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
To help prevent contamination of food by workers, utensils must be provided and used to dispense food. Utensils must also be provided for use in all customer self service areas such as salad bars, buffets and for bulk food dispensing.
Utensils that are provided to dispense and serve foods must be stored and handled in a manner that protects the utensil and the food from contamination. Contaminated utensils will contaminate the foods that are being dispensed and served. To prevent possible contamination of food by utensils during pauses in preparation and dispensing , utensils must be stored:
a) in the food with the handle up out of the food,
b) in a running water dipper well,
c) in ice
water or in hot water that is above 140oF,
d) on a clean dry surface if the utensil is cleaned and sanitized once every four hours.

IMPROPER EQUIPMENT DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION
10b Non-food contact surfaces
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
Non-food contact surfaces of equipment routinely exposed to splash or food debris must be constructed to be smooth, durable, nonabsorbent and easily cleanable. Equipment that does not meet these criteria becomes difficult to clean, allowing soil, moisture, debris and disease-causing bacteria to accumulate.
