Inspection Results

Date: 2019-01-10 Type: Inspection Violations: 0 critical, 2 noncritical
Item 8A: Food not protected during storage, preparation, display, transportation and service, from potential sources of contamination (e.g., food uncovered, mislabeled, stored on floor, missing or inadequate sneeze guards, food containers double stacked)
Item 10B: Non-food contact surfaces and equipment are improperly designed, constructed, installed, maintained (equipment not readily accessible for cleaning, surface not smooth finish)
Date: 2018-08-21 Type: Inspection Violations: 1 critical, 6 noncritical
Item 2C (Critical): Cooked or prepared foods are subject to cross-contamination from raw foods.
Item 9B: Tobacco is used; eating, drinking in food preparation, dishwashing food storage areas
Item 15C: Premises littered, unnecessary equipment and article present, living quarters no completely separated for food service operations, live animals, birds and pets not excluded
Item 11B: Wiping cloths dirty, not stored properly in sanitizing solutions
Item 14C: Pesticide application not supervised by a certified applicator
Item 10B: Non-food contact surfaces and equipment are improperly designed, constructed, installed, maintained (equipment not readily accessible for cleaning, surface not smooth finish)
Item 10A: Food (ice) contact surfaces are improperly designed, constructed, installed, located (cracks, open seams, pitted surfaces, tin cans reused, uncleanable or corroded food contact surfaces)
Comments: Convenient and suitable utensils and/or sanitry gloves are to be used to prepare or serve food to eliminate bare hand contact AND prevent contamination. Food workers are to change sanitary gloves in between preparing raw foods and cooked/ready to eat foods to avoid contamination from the raw foods. Discussed this with cook in regard to making sure cracking raw eggs while wearing gloves and then touching prepared toast with the same gloves does not happen. There is a risk for salmonella contamination from the raw eggs. Also, 3 bay sink in back kitchen area is being used for handwash and food prep only, no dish washing. An air gap is required for food preparation sinks. The plumbing on this 3 bay sink does not have a physical break in the plumbing to create an air gap, rather there is an offshoot pipe located below the flood line of the three sinks above and it would theoretically drain out any water that backs up before it reaches the sink bays.
