Comments: This is the second routine 2017 inspection. The use of vacuum packaging, discovered at first routine inspection has stopped. The equipment was seen to be dormately stored in the basement. Kitchen manager, Nick Furnia helped inspector understand and address past and present procedures. He was able to convey to staff the following training items: 1) The difference between QAC and chlorine test strips; 2) How to monitor and handle food preperation at room temperture with small, quick batches to minimise temperature abuse; 3) The difference between a pot holder and a food contact surface wiping cloth; 4) Use of temperature vs time to determine if cooling is sufficient; and 5) No bare hand contact of ready to eat foods including grilled tortilla shells when they are brought from grill to assembly. The next routine inspection will show if the efforts at training can avoid violations and promote better outcomes.
Date: 2017-03-07 Type: Inspection Violations: 1 critical, 1 noncritical
Item 6A (Critical): Potentially hazardous foods are not kept at or above 140°F during hot holding.
Item 16: Miscellaneous, Economic Violation, Choking Poster, Training.
Comments: All vacuum sealed foods temperature and sealing history was obtained from the kitchen manager. Interview and observations did not indicate any temperature abuse. When the inspector asked if any fish or seafood was vacuum sealed, the cook presented 5 individually sealed on-site portions of raw salmon stored in a 40*F walk-in shelf. The inspector explained recent NYS training indicating the safety requirement for fish is that the fish be made frozen before sealing, and kept frozen while sealed. Before a handling history of the sealed on-site fish could be obtained, the cook voluntarily discarded the fish. This discard without inspectors request, and kitchen managers written instuctions on the kitchen staff daily communication board stating not to use vacuum sealer indicates the operators intentions to comply with requirements to use a vacuum sealer on-site.
