Comments

-Inspection conducted with student (leading)

-Temp of all coolers and freezers are satisfactory
-Temp of hot holding units > 60 oC
-Accurate thermometers are available
-Paper towel and liquid soap are provided at sink
-Good personal hygiene (hair net, clean apron, proper hand washing) noted by food handler
-General sanitation is ok

Discussed the following:

- Recommend to switch to deforsting meat in walk in cooler instead of under cold running water if you must then:
1. Dedicate on of the two prep sink for defrosting of frozen meat if needed
2. Do not store any foods under these sink to minimize potential contamination
3. Follow proper steps as mentioned ( keep frozen meat, chicken, .. in plastic package in a clean pot)

-Dedicate seperate work tables for raw meat products, seafoods , vegetable and cooked foods to minimize cross contamination (pathogens and allergen )

Re: Antimicrobial treatment set up in sushi area- stop using it and send the information to be reviewed or if you already received any approval from any of health office please forward.

All the above to be fully addressed before follow up inspection.
