FOOD CONTACT SURFACES: CLEAN AND SANITIZED (CORRECTED ON SITE)
Why This Matters
Dirty cutting boards and utensils cause 76% of cross-contamination. Biofilms protect bacteria from cleaning. One contaminated surface spreads pathogens to dozens of foods.
What Was Observed
No readily available sanitizer solution was observed upon arrival. Fresh chlorine/bleach was prepared and tested with inspector's test strips. PIC had to continue to add bleach until the appropriate concentration was reached. Test the solution with a test strip located at the dish machine. 114117, 114125(b), 114141

APPROVED THAWING METHODS IN USE
Why This Matters

FOOD STORAGE; FOOD STORAGE CONTAINERS IDENTIFIED
Why This Matters
Improper storage allows pest access and temperature abuse. Food on floor contacts contaminated water during cleaning. Expired foods cause illness.
What Was Observed
Observed bins of raw food being stored directly on the floor, including underneath the hand sink that was dripping clean water from the knee peddle. They were all relocated to the walk-in or prep-sink.

HANDS CLEAN AND PROPERLY WASHED; PROPER GLOVE USE (CORRECTED ON SITE)
Why This Matters
Sewage contains billions of pathogens including hepatitis A, norovirus, and E. coli. One tablespoon contains 100 million bacteria. Causes immediate severe illness.
What Was Observed
Observed workers touching cooked foods at one station and proceeded to perform activities at other stations, none of the food workers were wearing gloves, and not a single hand wash event took place during the inspection. All workers were directed to wash hands. Discussed the issue of wearing gloves, using utensils, and to prevent cross contamination between raw and cooked foods, and with shrimp as it is an allergen.
