Inspection findings

Inspection date

Type
No violation noted during this evaluation. 02/03/2016Follow Up LOC
  • Physical facilities maintained in good repair
    Observation: missing floor tile that allows for pooled water in the kitchen area must be repaired. A request for repairs is said to have been made and is currently in the bidding process.
  • PHF/TCS foods maintained at 41°F or below, except during preparation, cooling, cooling, or when time is used as a public health control
    Observation: Observation: raw chicken and egg & milk batter was observed at 50 degrees - ice was added to the base of both pans and the chicken was replaced with a fresh pan from the cooler while the 50 degree chicken was placed in the walk-in freezer. A new prep-table for holding these raw foods is said to have been purchased and deliver is expected within the next couple weeks. A photo or proof of replacement is requested to be emailed to the inspector as part of a letter of correction.
 11/25/2015Physical Recheck
  • PHF/TCS food maintained at 135°F or above, except during preparation, cooking, cooling, or when time us used as a public health control
    Observation: hot held chicken was observed at 120 degrees - discarded for correction onsite.
  • PHF/TCS foods maintained at 41°F or below, except during preparation, cooling, cooling, or when time is used as a public health control
    Observation: raw chicken and egg & milk batter was observed at 50 and 55 degrees respectively - products were discarded for correction onsite. Other chicken observed at 45 degrees was returned to walk-in cooler and make line was resupplied with cold raw chicken. The prep-table used for holding these raw foods does not cool and the facility tries to use an ice water bath where the bottom of the food pans barely comes into contact with the ice water. Due to the design of the non-functioning prep-table, there is not a way to immerse food pans into the ice water bath to the level of the food in the pans that would make this type of cold holding acceptable. A reliable and effective way is required to ensure proper cold holding temperatures.
  • Indoor and outdoor surfaces
    Observation: missing floor tile that allows for pooled water in the kitchen area must be repaired.
  • Handwashing sink equipped to provide water at a temperature of at least 100° F through a mixing valve or combination faucet.
    Observation: the main kitchen handwash sink is not equipped with water faucet handles, nor was there warm water available at this handwash sink at the time of inspection.
  • Bare hand contact with ready to eat foods
    Observation: Although tongs are widely used on the front line, I observed an employee moving cooked chicken around on a paper tray with bare hands in order to make room for other food. There must be a policy that enforces the requirement for no bare hand contact of any food that is ready to eat.
  • Established procedures for responding to vomiting and diarrheal events
    Observation: no written procedure for the proper cleanup of vomit or other bodily fluids were available at the time of inspection. Facility has six-months to comply. Food Code requirements were left for reference.
  • A temperature measuring device with a suitable small diameter probe is provided and readily accessible to measure the temperature of thin foods
    Observation: a thin probe tip sensitive digital thermometer is required for use on the cook line.
  • Physical facilities maintained clean: Cleaning frequency, restrictions, and methods
    Observation: general cleaning is needed throughout the kitchen that will address the slippery floor believed to be from grease, in addition to flour and other substances on shelving and hard to reach areas of the floor.
  • Miscellaneous sources of contamination
    Observation: heavily soiled cooler and freezer door handles, in addition to the cooler curtains and other door handles throughout the kitchen. A routine cleaning schedule is needed for this equipment.
  • Toilet room
    receptacle, enclosed, fixtures clean
  • equipment food contact surfaces and utensils clean to sight and touch.
    Observation: the ice storage bin located near the drive thru window was observed soiled with an apparent dead insect on the bottom of the ice bin. Taken offline and cleaned during the inspection.
