Discussed referral for FBI complaints. Ensure referred FBI complaints include information on internal investigations conducted such as management reviewing preparation procedures for that meal and confirming that there were no concerns/issues, management reviewing relevant temperature logs for that day/meal and confirming that there were no issues, management reviewing dishwasher/sanitizer logs and confirming that there were no issues, confirmation that no food handlers were ill/sick, confirmation that no other similar complaints were received, sales records for the implicated food item for that day... etc. Referral of FBI complaint to the health department is only one part of due diligence and does not absolve the premises of the responsibility to conduct their own internal audit/investigation of complaints received. Reminder to inform complainant that the premises will refer their complaint to the health department and that they should contact us too. |
