Comments: Comment: Discussed sewage complaint with manager. It was learned that plumber who unplugged lines was responsible for discharging sewage on ground surface. Copy of invoice is attached to inspection report. Discussed importance of using food probe thermometer with manager. As stated in the last inspection, all food handlers must have their own food probe thermometer to evaluate proper cooking, cooling, reheating and cold holding of food requiring time /temperature control for safety. Only two thermometers were available to use in kitchen. Food delivery guy provided a third thermometer. All refrigeration units were properly cold holding below 45F. However, routine cleaning of surfaces appeared to be lacking. With 2 critical and 14 sanitary violations cited, this inspection was marginally satisfactory. Education an instruction was provided during inspection, a re-inspection will occur within 30 days.
Date: 2015-07-14 Type: Re-Inspection Violations: 1 critical, 2 noncritical
Item 2E (Critical): Accurate thermometers not available or used to evaluate potentially hazardous food temperatures during cooking, cooling, reheating and holding.
Item 11B: Wiping cloths dirty, not stored properly in sanitizing solutions
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: Comment: Re-inspection only involved violations cited during the 6/4/15 inspection. No food in kitchen was found improperly hot or cold held. Food workers still do not have personal accurate food probe thermometers. However, the impression observed during inspection was that they will receive their own thermometer to use to ensure proper cooking, cooling, reheating, hot and cold holding of food requiring time / temperature for safety. This re-inspection was conducted by Richard Munn, assisted by Craig Phelps.
