Food Contact Surfaces Not Properly Sanitized
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
Observed no concentration in the sanitizer buckets in the Beach Chalet kitchen. Operator found out that the quat ammonium sanitizer is not dispensing the proper concentration. They have reverted to bleach sanitizer until the technician arrives to fix. Quat ammonium is dispensed properly in the Park Chalet kitchen. ENSURE that there is adequate sanitizer available for all food prep areas.
