OBSERVATIONS AND CORRECTIVE ACTIONS

15 ***

I found shrimp and fish above french fries and chopped vegetables in the 2 door cooler.

***

COS
Raw animal products must be stored below vegetables and other RTE foods due to the risk of cross contamination. The employees moved the shrimp and and fish to the bottom shelf and moved the vegetables and fries to a high shelf.

- 3-302.11 (A) (1): FOOD shall be protected from cross contamination by:   (1) Except as specified in (1)(c) below, separating raw animal FOODS during storage, preparation, holding, and display from: (a) Raw READY-TO-EAT FOOD including other raw animal FOOD such as FISH for sushi or MOLLUSCAN SHELLFISH, or other raw READY-TO-EAT FOOD such as fruits and vegetables, and (b) Cooked READY-TO-EAT FOOD; (c) Frozen, commercially processed and packaged raw animal FOOD may be stored or displayed with or above frozen, commercially processed and packaged, ready-to eat food. - V,COS
39 ***

All containers of queso and two containers of re fried beans in the walk-in had no lids.

***

COS
Lids were placed on all the open containers. The PIC said that the employees know that the lids are supposed to be placed after the product cools, but likely forgot to do that yesterday.

- 3-305.11 (A) (B) (C): (A) Except as specified in ¶¶ (B) and (C) of this section, FOOD shall be protected from contamination by storing the FOOD: (1) In a clean, dry location; (2) Where it is not exposed to splash, dust, or other contamination; and (3) At least 15 cm (6 inches) above the floor. (B) FOOD in packages and working containers may be stored less than 15 cm (6 inches) above the floor on case lot handling EQUIPMENT as specified under § 4-204.122. (C) Pressurized BEVERAGE containers, cased FOOD in waterproof containers such as bottles or cans, and milk containers in plastic crates may be stored on a floor that is clean and not exposed to floor moisture. - V,COS
49 ***

The lip of the inside of the deep freezer was soiled with frozen meat drippings. The ceiling had some grease and dust. The dry storage area had debris under the shelves.

***

Clean the above mentioned areas before next routine inspection.

- 4-601.11(C): (C) NonFOOD-CONTACT SURFACES of EQUIPMENT shall be kept free of an accumulation of dust, dirt, FOOD residue, and other debris. - V
Inspection Comments ***

The back door now has a screen with no rips. Date labeling is present on all items that need dates. The hand sink was supplied properly and not blocked. Nothing was on the floor in the walk-in. This inspection is a huge improvement since the last time I was here. Keep up the good work.
