Ensure that solution continues to be maintained between 50-100ppm and is also changed out when visibally dirty. Sink tested 300ppm quat. Test strips were avialable for both chemicals being used.- Ensure that sanitizer wipe down towels are stored in the sanitizing solution and not out on the counter tops.

8/2/2012Routine Inspection 1st90
  • General Comments that relate to this Inspection
    All violations noted on the previous inspection (dated 9-16-11) have been corrected.OBSERVATIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS:- Retested the quat sanitizer from the pre-mix unit. Tested 300ppm at 77F water temperature. Advised contact that this is still slightly high and to have the chemical company adjust the unit at the next visit. Excessivly high reading on previous visit was most likely due to testing in hot water. Advised operator to dilute as needed to obtain the required 200ppm concentration as required by the manufacturer's labeled instructions.

  • [4] Sanitization rinse; clean; temperature concentration; exposure time; equipment; utensils sanitized
    The sanitizer dispenser over the 3-compartment sink is not functioning properly. Tested >400ppm quat. ammonia residual on the operator's test strips. Regulations require 200ppm concentration for quat. ammonia which is consistent with this particular manufacturer's labeled instructions on this Kay brand sanitizer package. Adjust the pre-mix dispensing system to deliver 200ppm. This is a 48 hour compliance notice (by 9-19-11; Monday).
  • [1] Installed; maintained
    1) The spray arm on the 3-compartment sink is hanging below the flood level rim of the sink. All faucets and spray arms must hang at least 1" above the flood level rim of the sink to prevent the possibility for backflow of dirty water from the sink into the water supply system.2) Regulations require that any self metering faucets (at the Men's restroom hand sink) when activated will run for a minimum of 15 seconds without the need to reactive. Currently the faucet runs for about 3-4 seconds before shutting off. Either adjust to meet the minimum 15 second flow on the hot and cold water flow or replace with a hand operated or motion sensing automatic faucet.3) There appears to be a small leak in the waste plumbing under the tea/soda cabinet (front customer area). Repair and clean out the standing water and debris on the equipment in this area.
  • General Comments that relate to this Inspection
    OBSERVATIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS:- All product temperatures observed were at or near regulation (e.g. walk-in 28F; freezer -4F; reach-in 39F; top load freezer -7F; 6F; salad reach-in 38F; angus beef patty 159F;. grilled chicken 164F; small beef patty 166F).- There is moderate ice buildup in the reach-in freezers (top load and hanging cabinet type) - Defrost and maintain free of ice buildup.- There is one handsink located outside the manager's office. It appears that the front area is located more than 25' from the single hand washing sink. Please be advised that it is the policy of this agency that hand washing sinks be located a minimum of 25' from all food handling/preparation and utensil washing areas and be line of sight. It is highly recommended that an additional hand sink be dropped in at one of the front counter areas (e.g. at the drive thru counter). Improper handwashing is the #1 cause of food borne illness and employees are unlikely to wash there hands if the sink is not convieniently located.
