Observations & Corrective Actions

15: 470 In walk-in, raw chicken and raw shrimp were stored over top of boxes of avocados. Raw chicken should always be on the bottom shelf. Produce should be on shelves above any raw meats.
Corrective Actions: COS. Showed PIC and asked her to have it restacked. Will send Ana sign of correct stacking in walk-in in Spanish.

48: 1660 On Dishwasher, dial thermometer and my dish simulating thermometer showing temperature only reaching 100F. May be a function of replacement of hot water heater for which Ana has already called for service.
Corrective Actions: In 10 days, by 4/6/23, Dishwasher should be reaching 120F.

54: 2740 Pavement area around Darden grease container shows grease waste, which could create an attractant for pests. Also both sides of garbage dumpster were open without being in active use.
Corrective Actions: Keep area around waste receptacles cleans and waste dumpster closed to lessen chance of pest interest. Clean as soon as possible but no later than 90 days. Will be checked on next inspection.

55: 2810 In walk-in freezer, there are several floor tiles that are damaged and broken, as well as coving at the wall/floor junction. These are no longer smooth and easily cleanable.
Corrective Actions: In 90 days (By 6/27/23), have this tiled floor and coving in the walk-in freezer repaired to make it smooth and easily cleanable.

56: 3080 Observed light was not working in dry storage and was missing its protective shield.
Corrective Actions: As soon as possible, but no later than 90 days, have this light working so that the dry storage area is well lit for cleaning. Have protective cover over bulbs so if one shatters, the glass is contained.
