ACTION
Staff must use paper towels to dry their hands after washing them. Do NOT use cloth towels as cloth allows bacteria to live and grow on it. Staff will be contaminating their hands with bacteria when they use a cloth towels to dry their hands.
All wiping cloths shall be stored in a bucket of sanitizer. The sanitizer will kill any bacteria that is picked up on the cloth. Add 1Tbsp of bleach to 4L of warm water. The sanitizer solution shall be changed every 3-4 hours, so the strength is high enough to kill bacteria. During the inspection, staff placed all cloths into a bucket of sanitizer.
Have a pest company treat all floor drains and sink drains with a special foam that kills flies and cleans the interior surface of drains.
Have the glasswasher fixed so the [Cl2] sanitizer is 50-100ppm during the rinse cycle. Ensure all dispensing motors (soap, rinse aid & sanitizer) and buttons are working correctly and dispensing at the right strength.
Wash the undersides of sinks; and the legs of sinks, racks and prep tables on a regular basis with a scrub brush and hot soapy water.
Pay the outstanding yearly health permit fees of $250.00 ASAP, or closure of the restaurant will occur until payment is received in full.
**A follow-up next week will occur to ensure the glasswasher has been fixed** |
