Notification: The person in charge during inspection, Abram and Ricky, has been informed that the facility must close immediately. [CA]: The premises of each food facility must be maintained free of vermin. A facility cannot operate if there is a vermin infestation that leads to contamination of food contact surfaces, packaging, utensils, food equipment, or adulteration of food. The facility is required to cease operations immediately and must remain closed until all corrective actions on the provided checklist are completed. Note: Facility has sealed gaps found along walls, baseboards, electrical outlet covers, and pipes. [COS] PIC eliminated the three live cockroaches immediately. No other live activity observed. A follow up inspection will be conducted within 48 hours.

In plain English

The inspector found mice, rats, cockroaches, flies, or evidence of them (like droppings) inside the business, or conditions that could attract them. Pests can spread bacteria to food and surfaces, so this is treated as one of the more serious findings.

minorCode K14Cleaning and sanitizing

Official wording

Food contact surfaces clean, sanitized

Inspector’s notes

At the three compartment sink, quaternary ammonia based sanitizer solution measured at 0 PPM. Note: Facility uses a sanitizer dispensing system at the three compartment warewash sink. Per staff, their sanitizer was changed recently (last week) from their distributor and they were unsure if it was effective as it was lighter in color. The sanitizer bottle stated it is ready to use and comes diluted to 200 PPM. Staff were educated that the new solution is "ready to use" and should not be diluted further using their dispensing system. [CA] Manual sanitization shall be accomplished in the final sanitizing rinse by contacting a chlorine solution of 100 PPM concentration for at least 30 seconds or by contacting a quaternary ammonium solution of 200 PPM concentration for at least 60 seconds. [COS] Facility did not have enough solution to use it as intended. PIC provided a bottle of chlorine to manually sanitize dishes appropriately. Staff were educated on how to properly prepare a chlorine solution to 100 PPM.

In plain English

Dishes, equipment, or surfaces that touch food were not properly washed, rinsed, and sanitized, or sanitizer was not at the right strength. Clean surfaces help stop germs from spreading to food.

minorCode K32Food source and labeling

Official wording

Food properly labeled and honestly presented

Inspector’s notes

Facility prepackages salads for "grab n go" self service and lacks required labeling. [CA] Food prepackaged in a food facility shall bear a label with the following: 1) common name of the food, 2) list of ingredients in descending order of predominance by weight, 3) quantity of contents, 4) name and place of business of the manufacturer, packer, or distributor.

minorCode K07Food temperature

Official wording

Proper hot and cold holding temperatures

Inspector’s notes

In the self service area, at the grab and go cooler, prepackaged salads were measured between 44-49. Inspector observed staff move the salads from the walk in cooler to the cooler about 30 minutes prior. [CA] PHFs shall be held at 41°F or below or at 135°F or above. [COS] Salads were moved to the walk in cooler.

In plain English

Food was not kept cold enough, hot enough, cooled fast enough, or cooked or reheated to the right temperature. Bacteria grow quickly in the "danger zone" between 41°F and 135°F, which makes this one of the most important food-safety checks.
