  • General Comments that relate to this Inspection
    OBSERVATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS:- All slicers must be broken down; washed; rinsed and sanitized after every 4 hours from start of first use. If the slicer is unable to be cleaned then stop using the slicer are remove it from the food service area until it can be broken down and thoroughly cleaned. Any food debris remaining on the slicer and out at room temperature will be a potential source of contamination until properly cleaned and sanitized. Wiping down the slicer is not adequate at the 4 hour mark. (A copy of the FDA guidance document on proper procedures for cleaning slicers was giving to the operator at the time of inspection).- The deli cooling log can be better utilized if an employee is trained to make cooled product temperature measurements at the 2 hour and 6 hour marks instead of waiting until the next day (12 hours later). The current method of filling out the log the next morning will not tell you if the product has been properly cooled from 140 to 70 in 2 hours and from 70 to 40 in an additional 4 hours unless you take temperature recordings at those intervals. There is also no opportunity for staff to perform corrective action if the problem is never discovered. (This is a repeat recommendation from previous inspections)- All temperatures observed were at or near regulation (i.e. - Freezer A3 = 1F; Walk-in C5 38F; chicken out of the oven = 186F-204F; potato salad 40F; macaroni salad 40F).- Observed good employee hygiene and handwashing at the time of inspection.
4/22/2011Routine Inspection 1st99
  • [5] Potentially hazardous food meets temperature requirements during storage; preparation; display; service; transportation
    A bus tub stocked with fried and bbq chicken tested 48F at the center piece within the walk-in cooler. Product was ~6" in depth and covered with tin foil in a plastic bus tub. Condensation was visible on the underside of the tin foil. Operator stated product had been placed in the walk-in to cool the night before at about 9PM. Product must be cooled from 140F down to 40F within 4 hours. (Product Voluntarily Discarded). Cool product in shallow pans no more than 2" in depth and uncovered. Corrected on-site. NOTE: Walk-in ambient temperature was 40F and other product within the unit was 41F or less.
  • [1] Thermometers provided and conspicuous
    No thermometer or non-working thermometer for the sandwich reach-in unit (B4) and the opposite ready to eat 2-door reach-in unit and the central island cheese holding cooler (had an oven thermometer in unit with a high temperature scale which was unable to read down below 100F). (Corrected on-site).
  • [2] Dishwasher facilities designed; constructed; maintained; installed; located; operated as required
    1) The large rack type dish machine was run for several cycles (~4). After each cycle the dishes come out covered with a fine rust type debris. Have the unit serviced; repair; remove or replace as needed.2) The external final rinse thermometer never indicated 180F or higher final rinse temperature although an internal check of the final rinse temperature at the dish reached 167.5F. Have the thermometer calibrated to ensure accuracy of final sanitizing rinse temperature at the jacket.
  • General Comments that relate to this Inspection
    NOTES:1) The 3 black kettle type soup warmers holding chicken tortilla soup; chicken noodle soup and stampede chili soup do not appear to be designed to cook food but only to hot hold food that is aready hot. Please provide manufacturer's specifications on these units. Until approved for cooking from a cold state; product must be cooked by an alternate means (e.g. microwave; stove; oven; etc.). Temperatures observed were chicken tortilla soup (1/3 full) = 78F; chicken noodle (1/4 full) = 137F and stampede chili 43F (full container with thermostat off). All product was placed within the hot holding units aproximately 30 minutes prior. Please be advised that leftover product must be heated RAPIDLY to a minimum temperature of 165F for a minimum of 15 seconds prior to hot holding at 140F or higher.2) Product temperatures observed within regulation include - Chicken salad in walk-in 41F; walk-in ambient 40F; potato salad 37F (deli display case); pasta salad 38F (display case); macaroni salad 36F (display case).
3/31/2010Routine Inspection 1st92
  • General Comments that relate to this Inspection
    NOTES AND RECOMMENDATIONS:1) Add an extra column to the food preparation log to indicate "End Temp Time". This is critical information that is not being recorded and is necessary to indicate how long the product was out during the preparation phase. Once this data is gathered it can be used to fine tune preparation times and the time the food is out of temperature during prep.2) The cooling log is not being used correctly. Product is being pulled from hot holding at near store closing time (about 8pm) and then an initial product temperature is recorded. The product is then cooled and is not rechecked until the following morning; approximately 10-12 hours later. There is no way to determine if the product is being cooled properly using this method of data collection. Please be advised that product must be cooled within 4 hours (from 140F to 40F) or by using the FDA's 6 hour method (from 140F to 70F in two hours and from 70F to 40F within another 4 hours). Whichever method is used; the data currently being collected is usless unless it is taken within these time frames. A Standard Operational Procedure (SOP) should be developed to ensure that product is cooled and monitored correctly. The small blast cooler should be utilized; along with ice baths and other quick chill methods to help speed up this process. Product may need to be pulled sooner so that it can be cooled and monitored prior to store closing or one of the grocery staff may need to be tasked with monitoring and recording product that is being cooled overnight.Please contact Mike Lupan at 775-328-2425 for questions or onsite assistance with this and any other Health Department Requirements.
