Observation: 1. Bags of recycling and garbage were in the mop sink at the time of the inspection.
Corrective Action: 1. All recycling and garbage must be disposed of properly, immediately after the containers are emptied. Garbage build up will lead to unsanitary conditions, that are unsatisfactory for food preparation and service. Additionally, this can contribute to conditions that can lead to harborage by pests.
Observation: 2. Cardboard on top a grated metal shelving unit was being used as the pizza cutting surface.
Corrective Action: 2. Any food contact surface must be smooth, non-porous, easily cleanable and light colored. Cardboard as a food contact surface will very quickly become filthy, and cannot be cleaned or sanitized. This will risk contaminating any food that contacts that surface. Ensure that the pizza slicing surface meets the requirements listed above.
Observation: Knifes were being stored in a gap in between food contact surfaces.
Corrective Action: Knifes must be stored in a manner that protects them from contamination. In this case, food from the food contact surface can build up in the gap that the knifes were being stored. This will then contaminate the knifes and anything they are used to cut, for example, a slice of pizza. This is an unsafe food handling practice.
