Item 11B: Wiping cloths dirty, not stored properly in sanitizing solutions
Item 11A: Manual facilities inadequate, technique incorrect; mechanical facilities not operated in accordance with manufacturer's instructions
Comments: Observations and time/ temperature logs indicated critical control points were being achieved. Suggested improvements for logging are the same as stated on 12/14/16 inspection report.
Date: 2016-12-14 Type: Inspection Violations: 0 critical, 0 noncritical
Comments: This is the second 2016 routine inspection. The 2 minor violations from the first routine inspection have been corrected. The staff have been able to sustain the recognizable improvements made since 2015. The on-site responsible person, assistant kitchen manager - Allen Canepa was able to present previously requested cooling logs. A review indicated: 1) only 6 entries with four of them for chicken in November - this is not enough observations to represent the varied and numerous foods being cooled; 2) logs lacked identification of the person performing the procedure, management review and operator review - logs should have information representing all persons involved with notes representing correction when needed and a timely management/operator approval of the outcomes; 3) logs lacked notes indicating the rapid cooling method or location while at various stages of cooling, the container material, food depth, and the specifics needed to establish a standard procedure for each food - all the specifics needed to establish instructions for standard procedures should be in the logs; and 4) foods were not cooled correctly because foods appeared to be cooled from 120 - 70 *F on the kitchen counter at room temperature - the method of rapid cooling must start before the food drops below 120*F, DO NOT STORE FOODS AT ROOM TEMPERATURE WHEN THE FOOD IS BELOW 120*F. Operator agreed to strictly monitor and log all foods cooled until the next routine inspection. The review will focus on correction of the above 4 items.
Date: 2016-10-20 Type: Inspection Violations: 0 critical, 2 noncritical
Item 11B: Wiping cloths dirty, not stored properly in sanitizing solutions
Item 8E: Accurate thermometers not available or used to evaluate refrigerated or heated storage temperatures
Comments: The second routine inspection in 2015 was unsatisfactory; therefore, the first inspection in 2016 was a reinspection from 2015. In between the 2015 and the reinspection the operator made physical improvements and requested the inspector to give hands training. The reinspection had 3 minor violations and today's inspection (the first routine inspection of 2016) had 2 minor violations. This indicates the training was successful. The next 2016 inspection will show if the improvements have sustainablity. The inspector requested cooling logs were started and reviewed. Review indicates a lack of management review to ensure time requirements are achieved.
Date: 2016-03-24 Type: Re-Inspection Violations: 0 critical, 3 noncritical
Item 9C: Hair is improperly restrained
Item 8E: Accurate thermometers not available or used to evaluate refrigerated or heated storage temperatures
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)
Comments: Recent constuction maintenance and resurfacing along with staff routine cleaning have addressed past violations 10B, 12C, and 15A. The contractor was present and recognized the need to complete the resurfaced items to the detail of adjoining surfaces to be smooth sealed and easily cleanable. He recognized the need to prioritize efforts on dishroom window surface, screening of kitchen door, and dishroom window before seasonal demand for outside air flow. Replacement of walk-in shelves has corrected past violation 11D. Until staff coat rack/ personal items area is established in the kitchen, behind the bar is being used to correct past violation 15C. As per operator the inspectors training had a " huge" influence on staff daily behavior representing a correction to past violation 16. Operator will need to have routine meetings and standardized training procedures for future food handlers to avoid violations. Food depths and methods represented proper cooling, but the cooling log template in use could not confirm proper cooling.The logs lacked complete and relevent entries.The intended value of a cooling log was not obtainable because of: 1) the entries lacked operator and management signed review to ensure proper use of the log; 2) the entries lacked complete monitoring of temperatures from 120*F to below 45*F; 3) staff and management were not following the instructions on the templated log; 4) manager was not able to preceive the need for a corrective action when time/ temperature entries represented a need for correction; 5) log lacked corrective action instructions/entries; and 6) cooling method/instructions specific to the food item was missing. Improvements and adaptaions of the log and its use were discussed with kitchen manager. Kitchen postings and self inspection checklist given by inspector were not in use.(Operator/Management self inspection procedures with immediate corrections and training will be needed to avoid future repeat violations)
Date: 2015-12-28 Type: Inspection Violations: 0 critical, 11 noncritical
Item 12C: Plumbing and sinks not properly sized, installed, maintained; equipment and floors not properly drained
Item 15A: Floors, walls, ceilings, not smooth, properly constructed, in disrepair, dirty surfaces
