- F1.7 Are foods protected from contamination?
- Observation(s): Knives with broken blades were observed on the knife storage rack in the back kitchen area. Please ensure that cutting knives are discarded when broken and ensure that knife/equipment integrity is maintained so that pieces do not break off and contaminate food. A cooling wand was observed being stored directly on top of a box inside the upright freezer. Please ensure that cooling wands are stored in a sanitary manner/within a clean storage container. Cooling wands are placed directly into food and need to be maintained clean/sanitary.
- F2.1 Does the facility have proper monitoring supplies?
- Observation(s): The probe style thermometer onsite did not have NSF certification and showed inaccuracy when compared to two different NSF certified thermometers brought onsite and used to verify the temperatures of food stored within the front prep table refrigerator. Please provide NSF certified thermometers on site for more accurate verification of potentially hazardous food temperatures.
- F2.4 Are proper freezing and thawing procedures followed?
- Observation(s): Two packages of precooked frozen pork were observed being thawed in a sink of warm water. This pork was intended for use at a later date (to be reheated and hot held at a later date) and was going to be placed back into one of the back upright refrigerators following opening of the package and mixing with BBQ sauce (without a cook step). Staff indicated that the pork had only been thawing for about an hour using this method and it was determined that instead of discarding the packages, the packages of pork were opened, sauce added and placed into the oven to be cooked to an internal temperature of 165deg.F. Please ensure that staff are re trained on industry standard food safe thawing practices, for example, thawed under refrigeration at 4°C (40°F) or less in advance;
- F2.5 Are the premises and equipment properly maintained and operated in a sanitary manner (i.e. ongoing maintenance)?
- Observation(s): As requested at the time of last inspection, please complete additional cleaning underneath equipment (refrigerators, fryers, storage shelving, counters, etc) where there was an observed build-up of black organic filth. Please unclutter/remove personal effect (couch, black plastic garbage bags filled with linens, etc) from the back electrical/storage room).
