11/8/2011Routine94
Arrived at facility to address a FBI complaint generated on the 3rd of May.  According to complaintant he ate a cold cut sandwich with cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce, black olives, mayo, and pepper jack cheese on the 27th of April at 1220 pm.  He further stated that later that evening he became ill with vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal cramps lasting until the morning of the 29th of April.
He also stated that another person who ate there with him also became ill but could provide no details.

Upon arrival I was told by Tim and another employee that no management was available and neither of them were in charge.  I asked that they call the manager to see if they could be available at a later time and was told not until the next day.
I spoke with Connie, the owner, and told her the basics of the complaint and that I would address this with Tim on site and she would get a written report and could call with any questions.

I read the basic complaint, told Tim of the symptoms and  the suspected food items were, when the illness occurred and any other relevant info.   Tim did state that several employees had been ill and missing work at this store.
I observed handwashing technique and reminded staff that the paper towel should be used to turn off the faucet after drying hands.
The cold temperatures were all within the proper range at 39 or less. However, the meatballs being held hot were at temperatures of 122 degrees on the top of the pan.  The unit was turned up to increase temperature.  Hot temperatures at the bottom were 145 degrees.
The sanitizer used is QUATS and it was testing at about 150 PPM.  Per manufacturer direction the proper sanitizing level should be 200 ppm.  When ask Tim stated the bucket had only been out for a couple of hours. Solution was remade and did provide a stronger PPM of approximately 200. I advised him to monitor the sanitizing chemical and change more often if needed.
No violation noted during this evaluation.
