  • General Comments that relate to this Inspection
    NOTES & OBSERVATIONS:1) Reattach the laminate on the right hand side of the drink glass cabinet (front of the house) as it is starting to pull away from the cabinet.2) Ensure that sanitizer water is made up separately from soapy water solution. Do not mix soap and bleach as the soap will deactivate the bleach. Mix up and maintain the sanitizing solution between 50-100ppm residual. Clean counter tops and food contact surfaces with a soapy water solution first; rinse then wipe down with the sanitizing solution.3) Routienly stir the soups (front of house) and other items in hold holding units to ensure adequate and thorough temperature. Maintain hot holding temperatures at 140F or higher.4) In shell eggs must be refrigerated at 40F or less when not in use. Do not set flats on the counter for long periods of time as this may proliferate salmonella growth within the egg.5) When cooling continue to use ice bath and stainless steel containers whenever possible. Routienly agitate and stir the product to ensure even cooling. Potentially hazardous foods must be cooled from 140F down to 40F within 4 hours.6) Observed good employee handwashing; good cooling and product storage; dish machine sanitizing properly; all ambient refrigeration and hot holding equipment temperatures were within regulation; operator demonstrated a thorough understanding of proper food handling and food safety.
