Comments

A routine inspection was conducted, the following observations were made:
- Coolers 4C or colder; freezers were -21C or colder; thermometers present; and temperatures checked daily.
- Glasswasher had [I2] of 12.5ppm. The temperature of the glasswasher water is very hot, operator scheduled a repairman to look into the concern.
- Low temperature dishwasher rinse cycle had [Cl2] of 50ppm.
- Hand sinks stocked with liquid soap, paper towels, and running hot and cold water.
- All foods stored in food grade containers; covered; date coded; labeled; stored in groups with proteins separate or below RTE foods; and stored 6" off the floor on shelves or platforms. Improvements seen in the organization of the foods, how they are stored, and where they are stored. Great job.
- No expired foods for in use. FIFO rules being followed.
- General sanitation level is good. Great improvements seen in this area. Hard to reach areas and detailed cleaning (behind and under equipment, tables, racks, shelves, etc.) is being done on a regular basis. Great work.
- The level of drain flies has greatly decreased. Improvement in sanitation, removal of unused equipment (drink lines), and structural improvements (floors) have aided in this effort.
- The floors in the dishwashing area, cook line, and infront of the walk-in-cooler have been repaired and re-grouted. The floors are level, durable, sealed, cleanable, and absent of accumulating food and water. The floors inside the walk-in-cooler and around floor drains (dishwashing area & infront of the walk-in-cooler) still require attention. This work is slated to be completed soon.
- FoodSafe certified staff present.

**Remind all staff that cleaning/removal of food and grease must be done with a soap/degreasing chemical, sanitizer will not do this as it only has the ability to kill bacteria (no degreasing properties).**
