Inspection Comments There was a question asked during the inspection about whether or not this restaurant can allow their customers to order salmon medium or medium well (basically serve it under cooked)? Per discussion with Adam, our Food Program Supervisor, you will have to put a consumer advisory on the menu if it is a cooked to order item with the disclosure and reminder. Also, you would need to get parasite destruction records from the vendor as salmon can hold parasites and it would be consider a raw or undercooked fish.
HACCP Topic: allergen discussion; date marking discussion; salad bar temp discussion; beard restraint discussion
