Inspector’s Notes

6-301.12 Hand Drying Provision (Pf) There is no paper towel dispenser at the handwashing sink. Towels are currently stored on shelf nearby. Provide towels at the handwashing sink; mount a towel dispenser. Discussed today for long-term correction. Consider also adding a glove box holder and small shelf specifically at the handwashing sink.

In Plain English

Staff were not washing their hands when required, or a handwashing sink was blocked, missing soap or paper towels, or used for something else. Hands are one of the most common ways germs reach food.

Inspector’s Notes

4-202.16 Walk-in cooler door handles are textured; have seams; inconsistent texture on the backside. Nonfood Contact Surfaces shall be smooth and easily cleanable. The rough and inconsistent surface is likely to hold soil; food residue; bacteria; etc. It is unlikely the existing walk-in cooler door handles meet restaurant standards for new construction. 4-501.11 Good Repair and Proper Adjustment - Equipment (C) Exterior of the walk-in Freezer is sweating; wet; with visible microbial growth. Interior of walk-in cooler also has visible microbial growth on seams; indicating a leak or compromised seal. Maintain equipment in good; cleanable condition. Eliminate sweating and wet surfaces. 4-501.12 Cutting Surfaces (C) Cutting Films for children with special diets have obvious scoring; no longer smooth. Provide back-up films for frequent replacement; or consider a color-coded substantial cutting board for allergen separation and special-needs diet. Cutting Films are no longer appropriate when visibly cut and scored. Assure cutting surfaces are maintained in cleanable condition.

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.
