OBSERVATIONS AND CORRECTIVE ACTIONS
Item
Number 		Violations cited in this report must be corrected within the time frames below.
10 ***

A wire rack was in the hand sink.

***

COS
PIC said that the rack was for the dish soap dispenser, and it fell of the wall. He moved the rack so the sink was accessible for handwashing.

- 5-205.11 (A): (A) A HANDWASHING SINK shall be maintained so that it is accessible at all times for EMPLOYEE use. - V,COS
39 ***

The were soda syrups that were stored directly on the floor.

***

COS
Boxes were moved off the floor when I informed the manager.

- 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
43 ***

Utensils for the hot holding side dishes were in water that was above 135 deg F, but the water was visibly soiled.

***

COS
Manager removed the utensils from the water. The water was changed out for clean water. If the utensils will be stored in hot water, change out water more frequently. I recommend that each hot holding well has its own utensil that is stored in the well with the food so that frequent changing of the water is not needed.

- 3-304.12 (F): During pauses in FOOD preparation or dispensing, FOOD preparation and dispensing UTENSILS shall be stored: (F) In a container of water if the water is maintained at a temperature of at least 57°C (135°F) and the container is cleaned at a frequency specified under Subparagraph 4-602.11(D)(7). - V,COS
55 ***

The floor in the kitchen, warewashing ares, and side room with the ice machine are slippery and have debris buildup in hard to reach corners.

***

Clean by next routine inspection. There is a large amount of clutter in the side room with the ice machine that makes cleaning corners difficult. Organizing that room may make cleaning easier.

- 6-501.12: (A)PHYSICAL FACILITIES shall be cleaned as often as necessary to keep them clean.(B)Except for cleaning that is necessary due to a spill or other accident, cleaning shall be done during periods when the least amount of FOOD is exposed such as after closing. - V
