Observations & Corrective Actions

10: 6-301.12 At the handsink across from the milk walk-in cooler, the paper towel dispenser was empty. - Provide dispensed hand towels and hand soap at handwashing sinks at all times so workers can properly wash their hands. The hand washing sink was restocked at the time of inspection.

16: 4-501.114 Quaternary ammonia sanitizer in the 3-compartment sink measured below 150 ppm. Basin was drained and refilled. Refilled basin measured within the 150-400 ppm quaternary ammonia range. -Maintain Quaternary Ammonia sanitizers at 150-400 ppm. Use sanitizer test kits to verify sanitizer is at correct concentration. Ensure sanitizer is changed at a frequency to maintain an adequate concentration.

22: 3-501.16 (A) (2) A jug of chai mix with milk measuring at 46F was found in the two glass door standing cooler nearest to the restrooms. Staff stated the product was made yesterday. All other food items in this cooler were cold holding properly below 41F. - Cold hold foods below 41 F to prevent the growth of microorganisms. Product discarded as requested. Product value less than $10.

33: 4-301.11 The two glass doored standing cooler closest to the drive-thru window measured an ambient temperature of 53F. Upon further inspection, the cooling filter has iced over. Staff also stated it is a known issue by maintence. Maintence told staff that the thermometer is broken within the cooler, and they are waiting for the part to come in in about a week. -Repair/replace refrigeration equipment to maintain foods at less than 41 F. Until the cooler is fixed, staff are still allowed to use the equipment under time as a public health control for temperature-controlled foods. For this establishment, these food items include any dairy products and any products that require refrigeration after opening for safety purposes, not quality. -When using time as a control, staff should mark the time an item is opened and should the food item be kept greater than 4 hours, the product must be discarded due to being temperature abused at greater than 41F. For example, if a gallon of milk is opened at 12PM, staff have until 4PM to use the gallon up. If there is any product left in the gallon after 4 hours, the opened milk needs to be discarded. No product is to be left in this cooler overnight when staff are not present. -A follow-up will be performed on this cooler once it has been repaired.

43: 3-304.12 A scoop in the ice bin between the 2 two glass door standing coolers was found with the handle on top of the ice. -Store ice scoops with handles extended out of ice or on clean surface.
