Inspection summary

5 of 9 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there was 1 inspection with 0 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Cleaning and sanitizing and Food temperature control.

The last 4 inspections in a row found no infractions. Recent inspections have recorded fewer infractions than earlier ones, so the record is improving.

What these findings mean

Health authorities word their violations differently, so we group them by what they mean for food safety. Higher-risk findings are the ones inspectors treat as critical, because they can directly make someone sick.

  • Cleaning and sanitizingHigher risk

    Anything that touches food, such as cutting boards, dishes and utensils, must be washed, rinsed and sanitized. Inspectors check dishwasher temperatures, sanitizer strength and how wiping cloths are stored. Poor sanitizing lets bacteria survive from one use to the next.

    Recorded 4 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on June 7, 2018. For example: 3 Are food contact surfaces, utensils and equipment washed and sanitized in a manner that removes/prevents contamination?

  • Food temperature controlHigher risk

    Bacteria multiply fastest between about 4 °C and 60 °C (40 °F to 140 °F). Inspectors check that cold food stays cold, hot food stays hot, cooked food is cooled quickly, and that staff have accurate thermometers. Temperature problems are one of the most common causes of food poisoning, so these are treated as critical findings.

    Recorded once on August 5, 2015. For example: 4 - Are proper refrigeration, freezing and thawing procedures followed?

  • Permits, records and postingLower risk

    Operating permits, required signage, written procedures and logs. These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.

    Recorded 6 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on June 7, 2018. For example: 3 Are written food handling procedures (Food Safety Plan) current and available on site?

    • F2.3 Are food contact surfaces, utensils and equipment washed and sanitized in a manner that removes/prevents contamination?
      • Observation(s): 1. Observed ice cream scoops stored in a container of room temperature water. Scoops stored in this manner is ideal for bacterial growth. Bacteria grow and multiply the best in the danger zone i.e. between 4C and 60C. Therefore the scoops should be stored/maintained in the following way: - provide scoops for each product, immediately place the scoop back in the product container after each use. Scoops must be removed from the product container at the end of each day, cleaned and sanitized, or - store the scoops in a clean container inside the freezer. At the end of each day, the scoops must be removed from the freezer, cleaned and sanitized, or scoops can be stored in ice water but the water must be changed frequently (at least every 2 hours or more frequently). ***This is a repeat infraction*** 2. Bleach and soap were being mixed for dishwashing. This can produce a poisonous gas and lead to the sanitizing ability of the bleach to decrease. Dish ware must be washed with soap and warm water, rinsed and then fully submerssed in a 100-200ppm bleach solution (1tbsp bleach to 1 gallon water) for a minimum of 2 minutes and then allowed to air dry. Mostly use single use, take out containers.

      • Observation(s): Observed ice cream scoop stored in a container with room temperature water.
