A follow-up inspection was completed, the following observations were made:
- Sanitation level of premises improved. Walls, floors and food contact surfaces have been cleaned, but more detailed cleaning still needed in specific areas.
- Commercial grade degreasers/soaps required to be purchased and used.
- Pest control company has not completed site inspection yet.
- Wiping cloths are stored in a bucket of bleach water solution. The [Cl2] was 200ppm.
- Low temperature dishwasher had a [Cl2] of 50ppm during the rinse cycle. Dishwasher has been repaired, and is able to wash and sanitizing. Chlorine tests strips present. Test the chlorine level every day before putting the first load of dishes thru.
- All mice droppings and the dead, dried carcass have been removed. All surfaces that came into contact have been cleaned and sanitized.
- Front and side doors were closed during the inspection.
- Hole in wall has not been blocked or sealed yet.
- At time of the inspection, contractor was present to measure and fix the cooler door gaskets and doors. Contractor explained that they may arrive in 2 weeks, this is acceptable.
ACTION TO TAKE:
1) Purchase and use commercial grade floor and food contact surface degreasers/soap every day to clean.
2) Clean the pipes running along the wall & ceiling by the exhaust canopy, as they are covered in grease.
3) Clean the sides of the cooking equipment, especially between each cooking equipment, as there is accumulated grease. Move the equipment away from each other and scrub with degreaser and hot water.
4) Some surfaces are still sticky with grease (outside of food containers, faucet handles, interior frames of coolers, etc.). Scrub food contact surfaces again with commercial grade degreasers/soap.
5) Call a professional pest company to complete a thorough site inspection to determine entry points for mice and to eliminate the mice infestation.
6) Purchase and install screen doors/curtains on the front and side doors so they can be kept open to allow air flow into the dining area.
7) Block and seal the hole in the wall. Use metal plate, metal mesh (1/4" or smaller holes), or tightly pack with steel wool and then seal with expanding foam.
Closure order rescinded, premises may re-open for operation. A follow-up inspection will be completed on Aug. 8/22 to ensure all outstanding items have been completed. Failure to complete all items, will result in the issuance of tickets and fines. |
