Violation descriptions and comments

Oct 17, 2008

PERSONNEL
2d Poor hygienic practices
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
Retail food establishments must have a Health Department approved Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) plan in place when vacuum packageing or when conducting other forms of modified oxygen packaging (MAP). Foods not properly processed using MAP techniques are prone to the growth of botulism. All MAP processed foods must be held refrigerated at 41oF or less until cooking or service. Shelf life of MAP foods are not to exceed 10 days.
PERSONNEL
2e Smoking; eating; drinking not restricted
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
The use of tobacco products or eating or drinking during food preparation is prohibited. The hand to mouth contact that occurs during these activities results in the contamination of workers hands and food.
PERSONNEL
2f Training needed
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
Food workers must have a basic understanding of food safety as it relates to the job or task they are doing. Dishwashers must know how the dishmachine they operate sanitizes and when they should be washing their hands. Cooks that reheat foods must know the temperature requirements for reheating. Employees who are required to cool foods must know what the temperature requirements are for cooling. The more knowledgeable the food handler is, the safer the food handling practices in the establishment should be.
FOOD TEMPERATURE CONTROL
3e Hold cold at 41 °F or less
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
Most food poisonings are associated with foods held at temperatures between 41oF and 140oF for extended periods of time. Health Department inspections stress temperature control of potentially hazardous food.
The rate of bacterial growth and possible toxin production by some bacteria, can be greatly reduced when foods are held at temperatures of less than 41oF. This cold holding temperature does not generally kill the bacteria that may be present in food, but will slow or inhibit their growth.
Bacterial growth and possible toxin production by some bacteria, will occur in potentially hazardous foods that remain at temperatures between 41oF and 140oF for extended periods of time. If a food is held “off” temperature (between 41oF and 140oF) for only a short time, no significant bacterial growth or toxin production should occur. When time is used to control bacterial growth, potentially hazardous foods can be held off temperature for only four hours or less. After this time any food product that has not been served must be discarded. Operations that use time as a control must develop a plan that outlines food handling procedures, identifies when a food item is removed from temperature control and when it is to be disposed of. This plan must be approved by the health department.
SANITATION RINSE
4c In place
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
All equipment, utensils and food contact surfaces must be properly washed and then sanitized to minimize food contamination. Washing is the removal of food residue or soil from surfaces. Sanitization is the application of heat or chemicals on cleaned surfaces that results in a 99.999% reduction of disease-causing microorganisms. There are many different types of sanitizers that can be used in food establishments. The most common include: hot water between 165oF and 180oF, chlorine mixed at a concentration of 50 ppm, quaternary ammonia mixed at a concentration of 200 ppm, and iodine mixed at a concentration of 12.5 ppm.
Establishments will often have equipment that needs to be washed and sanitized, but is too large to fit into warewashing sinks or dishmachines, or is not designed to be submerged in water. This equipment must be washed and sanitized “in place”. Surfaces must be washed with a detergent solution to remove food residue, then rinsed free of detergents with clean water and then sanitized with an approved sanitizer.
HAND WASHING & TOILET FACILITIES
6a Inadequate in number, location, and design
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
Because handwashing is such an important factor in the prevention of foodborne illness, sufficient handwashing sinks must be available to make handwashing not only possible, but likely.
HAND WASHING & TOILET FACILITIES
6b Inaccessible
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
Food workers may be unlikely to wash their hands unless properly equipped handwashing sinks are accessible in the immediate work area. Handwashing sinks which are improperly located may be blocked by portable equipment or stacked full of soiled utensils and other items, rendering the sink unavailable for use. Nothing must block the approach to a handwashing sink thereby discouraging its use.
HAND WASHING & TOILET FACILITIES
6c Soap and drying devices unavailable
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
Handwashing sinks must be kept clean and well stocked with hand soap and hand towels to encourage frequent use. Hot and cold water must be provided through a mixing valve so employees can properly wash their hands.

Feb 17, 2009

FOOD LABELING AND PROTECTION
9a Not in original container; improperly labeled
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
The identity of a food's origin and composition is important when tracing its' source if implicated in a foodborne illness or if under recall. Ingredient information is needed by consumers who have allergies to certain foods or food ingredients. Bulk ingredients such as flour, sugar and salt that have been removed from their original containers must be labeled so they are not mistaken for similar looking ingredients and chemicals.
UTENSILS - SINGLE SERVICE ARTICLES
13c Reuse of single service articles
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
Single service items such as paper cups, napkins, straws, plastic “to-go” food containers and plastic tableware are to be used once and then discarded. These items are not constructed to be durable enough to withstand repeated use and repeated washing and sanitizing.
PHYSICAL FACILITIES
14a Plumbing not installed/maintained
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
It is critical that all plumbing fixtures, water and sewer lines in food establishments be maintained in proper working order. Poorly maintained plumbing systems may result in potential heath hazard such as cross connections, the back up of sewage, or leakage. These conditions may directly result in the contamination of food, equipment, utensils or paper goods. They can also adversely affect the ability of food handlers to adequately wash their hands, an establishment’s warewashing operations and increase the potential for cross contamination of food and equipment and utensil.
Toilet rooms and facilities must be of sanitary design and kept clean and in good repair to help prevent contamination of food preparation areas, to motivate employees to maintain a high degree of personal hygiene and to use good sanitary practices. Doors to toilet rooms must be kept closed to help prevent the possible spread of disease-causing microorganisms by flies.

This equipment must be washed and sanitized “in place”. Surfaces must be washed with a detergent solution to remove food residue, then rinsed free of detergents with clean water and then sanitized with an approved sanitizer.
IMPROPER CLEANING OF EQUIPMENT AND UTENSILS
12a Food contact surfaces
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
Microorganisms can get into food by food handlers using dirty utensils, cutting boards, slicers, work counters and other surfaces that directly come into contact with food. Food contact surfaces must be kept clean so they are not a source of food contamination. To prevent bacteria from growing on food contact surfaces they must be cleaned and sanitzed after each use or once every four hours when used in a constant production line bases. During manual warewashing of equipment and utensils, all soaps and abrasive detergents must be rinsed from food contact surfaces so sanitzing agents can be properly applied and be effective.
IMPROPER CLEANING OF EQUIPMENT AND UTENSILS
12b Non-food contact surfaces
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
The surfaces of cabinets, utensil drawers, shelves, the outsides surfaces of refrigerators, hot holding equipment and other nonfood contact surfaces must be cleaned to keep them free of accumulation of food spills, dirt and grease. The presence of food debris or dirt on nonfood contact surfaces may provide a suitable environment for the growth of bacteria. Workers may inadvertently transfer this contamination to food. Accumulation of food spills and food residue on nonfood contact surfaces may also be a source of food and harborage of insects, rodents, and other pest.
UTENSILS - SINGLE SERVICE ARTICLES
13a Utensils not provided; used/stored improperly
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
To help prevent contamination of food by workers, utensils must be provided and used to dispense food. Utensils must also be provided for use in all customer self service areas such as salad bars, buffets and for bulk food dispensing.
Utensils that are provided to dispense and serve foods must be stored and handled in a manner that protects the utensil and the food from contamination. Contaminated utensils will contaminate the foods that are being dispensed and served. To prevent possible contamination of food by utensils during pauses in preparation and dispensing , utensils must be stored:
a) in the food with the handle up out of the food,
b) in a running water dipper well,
c) in ice
water or in hot water that is above 140oF,
d) on a clean dry surface if the utensil is cleaned and sanitized once every four hours.

Feb 16, 2010

PEST CONTROL
7b Inappropriate pesticide application
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
Effective and approved measures must be taken to control insect, rodents, and other pests that may get into food establishments. Effective pest management includes: a) preventing entry of pests into the establishment by providing tight fitting doors and threshold, keeping outside door closed, and sealing off any cracks or openings in foundations or around utility penetrations. b) Depriving them of food, water and shelter by keeping the premises clean, free of the acclimation of refuse, garbage and food spills. c) Kill what gets in with the use of traps or pesticides. Only approved pesticides, registered for application in food establishments can be applied. All pesticides must be used according to label directions. Rodent baits must be contained and dispensed form closed, tamper proof bait stations. The use of open bait stations or tracking powder pesticides can result in the pesticides being dispersed throughout the food establishment and ultimately contaminating food and food contact surfaces.
IMPROPER EQUIPMENT DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION
10b Non-food contact surfaces
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
Non-food contact surfaces of equipment routinely exposed to splash or food debris must be constructed to be smooth, durable, nonabsorbent and easily cleanable. Equipment that does not meet these criteria becomes difficult to clean, allowing soil, moisture, debris and disease-causing bacteria to accumulate.

Feb 16, 2011

PERSONNEL
2g Bare hand contact
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
Touching ready-to-eat foods (i.e. foods that will not go through a further cooking process prior to serving) with bare hands increases the risk of the spread of foodborne illness. Ready-to-eat foods cannot be handled with bare hands but may be handled with gloved hands, tongs, or other utensils.
HAND WASHING & TOILET FACILITIES
6b Inaccessible
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
Food workers may be unlikely to wash their hands unless properly equipped handwashing sinks are accessible in the immediate work area. Handwashing sinks which are improperly located may be blocked by portable equipment or stacked full of soiled utensils and other items, rendering the sink unavailable for use. Nothing must block the approach to a handwashing sink thereby discouraging its use.

6c Soap and drying devices unavailable
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
Handwashing sinks must be kept clean and well stocked with hand soap and hand towels to encourage frequent use. Hot and cold water must be provided through a mixing valve so employees can properly wash their hands.
TOXIC ITEMS
8a Improperly stored
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
Separation of cleaners, sanitizers and other chemicals from food, equipment and utensils helps ensure that chemical contamination does not occur. Cleaners, sanitizers and other chemicals must be stored below and away from all food, food preparation areas, warewashing areas, clean equipment and utensils, paper good and single service items.
TOXIC ITEMS
8b Improperly labeled
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
The accidental contamination of food and food contact surfaces with cleaners, sanitizers or other chemicals can cause serious illness or injury. Distinct labels on chemical containers help ensure that poisonous or toxic materials are properly stored and used.
TOXIC ITEMS
8c Improperly used
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
Failure to use cleaners, sanitizers, and other chemicals properly can be very dangerous. Directions listed on container labels must be followed correctly. Failure to follow stated instructions could result in injury to workers or customers. Sanitizers must be used at the proper concentrations: Chlorine 50 ppm, Quaternary Ammonia 200 ppm, and Iodine 12.5 ppm. High levels of sanitizers or soaps can leave harmful residues.
FOOD LABELING AND PROTECTION
9b Food unprotected from contamination
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
Freezing prevents microbial growth in foods, but usually does not destroy all microorganisms. Improper thawing provides an opportunity for surviving bacteria to grow to harmful numbers. If the food is then refrozen, significant numbers of bacteria may be preserved in the food.
Disease-causing organisms can contaminate and/or grow in food that is not stored properly. Drips from condensation and drafts of unfiltered air can be sources of microbial contamination for stored foods. Shoes carry contamination onto the floors of food preparation and storage areas. Raw meats and poultry can contaminate cooked and ready to eat foods if stored above these ready to eat items. Even trace amounts of refuse or wastes present in toilet rooms, rooms used for dressing, storing garbage or tools, or rooms housing machinery can become sources of food contamination.
IMPROPER CLEANING OF EQUIPMENT AND UTENSILS
12b Non-food contact surfaces
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
The surfaces of cabinets, utensil drawers, shelves, the outsides surfaces of refrigerators, hot holding equipment and other nonfood contact surfaces must be cleaned to keep them free of accumulation of food spills, dirt and grease. The presence of food debris or dirt on nonfood contact surfaces may provide a suitable environment for the growth of bacteria. Workers may inadvertently transfer this contamination to food.

d) on a clean dry surface if the utensil is cleaned and sanitized once every four hours.
PHYSICAL FACILITIES
14d Lighting inadequate
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
Light levels are specified so that sufficient light is available to enable workers to read labels, identify toxic materials, recognize the condition of food, utensils and other supplies, work safely and to evaluate cleaning. Sufficient light makes the need for cleaning apparent by making any accumulation of food spills and other soil conspicuous. Lights that are shielded, coated or shatter resistant help prevent breakage and contamination of food, clean equipment, utensils and single service items from fragments of glass should a bulb break.
PHYSICAL FACILITIES
14f Personal items stored incorrectly
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
Coats, handbags, shoes and other personal items that belong to employees can be a source of food, equipment and utensil contamination if not properly store. Personal items must be kept separate from food, preparation areas, warewashing areas and utensils. Lockers, coat hooks or an approved designated area is to be provided so workers can properly store their personal belongings.

PEST CONTROL
7a Evidence of insects or rodents
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
Rodents such as mice and rats live in and feed on garbage and refuse. Disease-causing microorganisms are therefore often present on their hair, in their feces and urine. Microorganisms can be transmitted to people when rodents come into contact and contaminate food and food contact surfaces.
Flies breed in and feed on garbage, refuse and sewage. Disease-causing microorganisms are therefore often present on their body hairs and mouth parts. Microorganisms can be transmitted to people when flies land on and contaminate food and utensils.

PHYSICAL FACILITIES
14b Garbage and refuse accumulation/uncovered
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
The proper storage and disposal of garbage and refuse is necessary to minimize insect, rodent and odor problems. Improperly handled garbage and refuse creates nuisance conditions, makes housekeeping difficult and can result in the contamination of food, equipment and utensils. Garbage and refuse is to be removed form the food establishment daily. It is to be stored in clean, covered, leak proof trash cans, dumpsters or compactors that prevent the scattering of the garbage and refuse by birds. Garbage and refuse must not attract, or harbor or act as a breeding place for flies and rodents. Recyclable materials must be handled in the same manner as garbage and refuse so as to minimize orders, insects and rodents. Recyclable materials, garbage and refuse must be removed from the premises at least once a week.
The proper storage of recyclable materials, garbage and refuse is necessary to minimize insect, rodent and odor problems. Trash dumpster, compactors must be located on concrete or rolled asphalt pads to provide a surface that can be easily cleaned, and that inhibits the breeding of flies and rodents. Floors, walls and ceilings of recycling rooms must be constructed of smooth, durable, non-absorbent materials to facilitate easy cleaning.
Toilet rooms and facilities must be of sanitary design and kept clean and in good repair to help prevent contamination of food preparation areas, to motivate employees to maintain a high degree of personal hygiene and to use good sanitary practices. Doors to toilet rooms must be kept closed to help prevent the possible spread of disease-causing microorganisms by flies.
PHYSICAL FACILITIES
14c Floors; walls; ceilings in disrepair
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
Floors must be kept clean, free of any build up of food spills, dirt and refuse. The accumulation of soil on floors increases the potential for contamination of food, equipment and utensils. It also provides food and harborage for rodents and insects, such as flies and cockroaches. To facilitate easy cleaning, floors must be maintained and constructed to be smooth, durable, non-absorbent and easily cleanable. Floor-wall junctures must be tightly coved with concave cove base to prevent moisture and food residue from collecting in corners and along walls. Utility penetrations must be sealed to eliminate insect and rodent harborage and to prevent moisture penetrating into or through the floor.
Walls and ceilings must be kept clean and free of any build up of food spills, splash or dirt. The accumulation of soil on walls and ceilings increases the potential for contamination of food, equipment and utensils. It also provides a food source for rodents, insects, such as flies and cockroaches. To facilitate easy cleaning, walls and ceilings must be maintained and constructed to be smooth, durable, non-absorbent and easily cleanable. Utilities such as water pipes, sewer lines and electrical conduit are to be enclosed within or behind finished walls and ceilings. Utility penetrations must be sealed to eliminate insect and rodent harborage and to prevent moisture from penetrating into walls and ceilings. Exposed utility lines make cleaning difficult.

Drips from condensation and drafts of unfiltered air can be sources of microbial contamination for stored foods. Shoes carry contamination onto the floors of food preparation and storage areas. Raw meats and poultry can contaminate cooked and ready to eat foods if stored above these ready to eat items. Even trace amounts of refuse or wastes present in toilet rooms, rooms used for dressing, storing garbage or tools, or rooms housing machinery can become sources of food contamination.
IMPROPER CLEANING OF EQUIPMENT AND UTENSILS
12b Non-food contact surfaces
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
The surfaces of cabinets, utensil drawers, shelves, the outsides surfaces of refrigerators, hot holding equipment and other nonfood contact surfaces must be cleaned to keep them free of accumulation of food spills, dirt and grease. The presence of food debris or dirt on nonfood contact surfaces may provide a suitable environment for the growth of bacteria. Workers may inadvertently transfer this contamination to food. Accumulation of food spills and food residue on nonfood contact surfaces may also be a source of food and harborage of insects, rodents, and other pest.
PHYSICAL FACILITIES
14d Lighting inadequate
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
Light levels are specified so that sufficient light is available to enable workers to read labels, identify toxic materials, recognize the condition of food, utensils and other supplies, work safely and to evaluate cleaning. Sufficient light makes the need for cleaning apparent by making any accumulation of food spills and other soil conspicuous. Lights that are shielded, coated or shatter resistant help prevent breakage and contamination of food, clean equipment, utensils and single service items from fragments of glass should a bulb break.
PHYSICAL FACILITIES
14i Restrooms
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
Restrooms must be maintained in a clean and sanitary manner to minimize the presence and spread of disease-causing bacteria and viruses. Unclean surfaces may also be a source of food and harborage of insects, rodents, and other pests. Restrooms should be equipped with a waste bin that is emptied daily or more frequently if necessary to keep the surrounding area free of trash. Restrooms should also be equipped with dispensed toilet tissue.

FOOD SOURCE
1b Unwholesome; signs of spoilage
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
Canned or hermetically sealed foods must be handled so as to maintain container and product integrity. Dented and damaged containers allow for the contamination of the food within the container. This contamination can result in the growth of disease-causing bacteria or spoilage of the can’s contents. Food establishments are required to inspect can goods for damage. Damaged goods are not to be used. They must be disposed of or be segregated and held in designated areas pending proper disposition.
PERSONNEL
2g Bare hand contact
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
Touching ready-to-eat foods (i.e. foods that will not go through a further cooking process prior to serving) with bare hands increases the risk of the spread of foodborne illness. Ready-to-eat foods cannot be handled with bare hands but may be handled with gloved hands, tongs, or other utensils.
FOOD LABELING AND PROTECTION
9b Food unprotected from contamination
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
Freezing prevents microbial growth in foods, but usually does not destroy all microorganisms. Improper thawing provides an opportunity for surviving bacteria to grow to harmful numbers. If the food is then refrozen, significant numbers of bacteria may be preserved in the food.
Disease-causing organisms can contaminate and/or grow in food that is not stored properly. Drips from condensation and drafts of unfiltered air can be sources of microbial contamination for stored foods. Shoes carry contamination onto the floors of food preparation and storage areas. Raw meats and poultry can contaminate cooked and ready to eat foods if stored above these ready to eat items. Even trace amounts of refuse or wastes present in toilet rooms, rooms used for dressing, storing garbage or tools, or rooms housing machinery can become sources of food contamination.
PHYSICAL FACILITIES
14c Floors; walls; ceilings in disrepair
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
Floors must be kept clean, free of any build up of food spills, dirt and refuse. The accumulation of soil on floors increases the potential for contamination of food, equipment and utensils. It also provides food and harborage for rodents and insects, such as flies and cockroaches. To facilitate easy cleaning, floors must be maintained and constructed to be smooth, durable, non-absorbent and easily cleanable. Floor-wall junctures must be tightly coved with concave cove base to prevent moisture and food residue from collecting in corners and along walls. Utility penetrations must be sealed to eliminate insect and rodent harborage and to prevent moisture penetrating into or through the floor.
Walls and ceilings must be kept clean and free of any build up of food spills, splash or dirt. The accumulation of soil on walls and ceilings increases the potential for contamination of food, equipment and utensils. It also provides a food source for rodents, insects, such as flies and cockroaches. To facilitate easy cleaning, walls and ceilings must be maintained and constructed to be smooth, durable, non-absorbent and easily cleanable. Utilities such as water pipes, sewer lines and electrical conduit are to be enclosed within or behind finished walls and ceilings. Utility penetrations must be sealed to eliminate insect and rodent harborage and to prevent moisture from penetrating into walls and ceilings. Exposed utility lines make cleaning difficult.
