Observations & Corrective Actions

28: 3330 Spray bottle with green liquid was stored with chemicals and unlabeled. All chemicals when transfered to working containers should immediately be labeled to inform users as to what it is. Improper mixing of chemicals can lead to toxic gas formation.
Corrective Actions: COS. Per owner, this was floor cleaner so we labeled bottle. Gave owner Chemical Safety flyer.

28: 3430 A spray can of insecticide was in a container on metal shelving. Asked owner what it was for and he stated it was not his and was not sure why it was there.
Corrective Actions: COS. Disposed of insecticide. Most pesticides require application by a licensed professional in a food establishment.

39: 690 Walk-in freezer starting to show build up of frost and ice again, creating a contamination hazard.
Corrective Actions: As soon as possible, but no later than 5/15/24, have walk-in freezer cleared of frost and ice. Work toward a more permanent solution to correct what is causing the build up.

51: 2350 (ii) Mop sink had waste water sitting in it, not draining but not going out of basin. Other pipes from building also drain here.
Corrective Actions: As soon as possible but no later than 90 days (5/15/24), work with building maintenance so water is not standing and slowly draining. If waste water after came over the side, you should shut down immediately and clean and disinfect thoroughly.

Additional Comments

Permit posted and good through 10/31/24. Did not have VDH QR sign posted as they were moving things around. Gave them more copies if needed.
Gave owner CFPM flyer and flyers for upcoming classes as his ServSafe expires 3/5/24.
Still has deep fat fryer discussed last inspection. There is no hood. If you have documentation from fire Marshall that this is okay, you may have it here. If not, please remove from restaurant.
