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 once on May 21, 2019. For example: 3 Are food contact surfaces, utensils and equipment washed and sanitized in a manner that removes/prevents contamination?

  • 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 These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.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 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on January 10, 2017. For example: 8 - Are the sanitation procedures (Sanitation Plan) current and available on site?

  • Other findingsLower risk

    Findings that do not fit the categories above, such as follow-ups that confirm an earlier violation was corrected, or requirements specific to this type of facility.

    Recorded once on May 21, 2019. For example: 1 Does the facility have proper monitoring supplies?

    • F2.1 Does the facility have proper monitoring supplies?
      • Observation(s): Each premises is to have their own test strips to assess sanitizer concentrations. Please obtain relevant test strips (eg. chlorine and quat). Please confirm once task is complete.
      • F2.1A Sanitizer test strips must be available for each chemical sanitizer used at the premises.
    • F2.3 Are food contact surfaces, utensils and equipment washed and sanitized in a manner that removes/prevents contamination?
      • Observation(s): Sanitizer concentration for manual warewashing is insufficiently monitored. Ensure test strips are used to assess sanitizer use concentration for manual warewashing and spray sanitizer solutions. Spray sanitizer solutions should be made fresh daily or assessed for proper concentration using appropriate test strip on a daily basis. Please provide written direction for this to staff and incorporate into sanitation plan. Include concentration required. Provide a photo of the dishwasher to show that the sanitation cycle is working properly. This would include the "sanitized" light being lit at the completion of the cycle. Update instructions to include what staff needs to check to ensure wares are sanitized, as well as what their corrective action should the sanitized light fail to come on. Please provide photos and documents for review.

      • Observation(s): A formal sanitation plan is not available and some confusion is noted for usage of chemicals/sanitizers. Please develop a sanitation plan for your staff and submit to me for review and comments.
  8. Monitoring

    1 infraction

    • 18 - Are the sanitation procedures (Sanitation Plan) current and available on site?
      • Observation(s): Premises uses a residential NSF 184 Dishwasher. Process for usage and monitoring must be more clear to staff. Please review the operational considerations below and develop a written process that is reviewed with all staff and posted by the dishwasher. Single use temperature indicator test strip was provided at the time of inspection to complete a test (please let me know if it does not change color). Operational Considerations regarding Residential NSF Standard 184 Dishwashers • Operator should select the sanitizing cycle option before starting each cycle. • Cycle should not be interrupted as heat loss may result in insufficient sanitization. • Machine cycles should be verified for completion of the sanitization cycle – i.e. visual inspection for illumination of “sanitized” indicator light on machine control panel following each cycle. • If the required time/temperature combination is not achieved during a complete un-interrupted cycle, the “sanitized” light will fail to illuminate. This may indicate that the machine requires servicing and operator should contact a qualified person to conduct repairs where needed. • Where the “sanitized” light can not be observed (please let me know if this is the case), the operator should use a maximum registering thermometer or single-use temperature indicator to confirm temperatures. Details of the monitoring requirements should be included in the facility Sanitation Plan. Please detail usage and monitoring requirements in writing and review with staff. Signage instructing staff on proper process should be placed at or near the dishwasher.
