  • General Comments that relate to this Inspection
    Hand sinks stockedChemical storage separateIce machine cleanDishwasher @ 100ppm chlorine-all items washed separately and then run through dishwasherRefrigeration ok-Walk in @ 40F--potatoes - cooled @ 38F--sausage - cooled @ 38FMake up units from 38F - 40FHot holding @ 140F or belowFacility cleanTest strips on site*Recommended incorporating cleaning of employee locker handles into routine cleaning schedule.*Reviewed slicer cleaning procedure with operator. Slicer is used from 6a - 2p. It is wiped down with a sanitizer cloth in between different product types and then broken down completely at end of day. Recommended following the FDA guidlines to perform a complete breakdown within 4 hours of use. **Facility appears to have improved cooling operations; however; some potatoes were found @ 90F after 3 hours. This looks to be a little slow. Discussed remedies to speed the cooling such as spacing out sheet pans on the speed rack and using a fan for greater air circulation.**Cutting boards are ready for resurfacing or replacement.

    Chicken breast found @ 80F after 4 hours. Potatoes found @ 110F after 4 hours. Products reheated to 165F and recooled. All products must be cooled from 140F to 40F within 4 hours. See notes on cooling discussion and recommendations.
  • General Comments that relate to this Inspection
    *First operational inspectionHand sinks stockedAll refrigeration @ 40F or below-ham - 38F-sausage - 40FFreezer okProduct stored correctly-raw product on bottom shelfFacility clean*Reviewed with operator the need to keep often overlooked areas cleaned; such as handles of equipment; can opener; ticket machines; etc.Sanitizer buckets @ 100ppm chlorine-test strips on site*Server station buckets had too much chlorine. Reviewed with manager to have servers check with strips (available) each time or establish a clear procedure. Buckets should be changed out every 4 hours or when they become visibly soiled.*Reviewed slicer cleaning process with operator. Slicer must be completely broken down and cleaned within 4 hours of use and santizer cloths are recommended for interim wiping.**Kitchen staff was very knowledgeable about cooking temperatures and sanititation; however; the cooling process does not appear to be effective in this facility. Numerous items were found to be cooling very slowly; not even reaching the FDA required 70F within 4 hours. Discussed the importance of cooling properly with kitchen staff.-potatoes are placed in a plastic bus tub approximately 3 deep and left at room temperature for awhile and then placed in walk in. They are chopped as needed. Disussed using metal sheet pans with a single layer of product to increase air flow around product and speed cooling. Also recommended using metal containers rather than plastic. Suggested freezer (after inital room temperature cool down period) as another possible way to achieve more rapid cooling.-chicken breasts are cooked on line and then placed in a plastic tub and allowed to cool at room temperature for awhile and then placed in make up unit with a lid. Made same suggestions as potatoes in regards to increasing air flow; using a freezer; and using metal containers. Also suggested that placing the breasts in a metal container and placing that container in an ice bath might be an option as well.**Operator should test the process for each cooled item to ensure that the 140F to 40F cooling requirement is being met. Also informed operator that during the cooling process; it is not required to place a lid on product. After product is cooled; it should be covered if it is to be stored for any period of time; but ensuring rapid cooling is the primary concern.**Two managers have taken course for food safety in Washoe County but are not registered. Reviewed process with operator.
