Observations & Corrective Actions

3: 0070 (15) Found no evidence that employees are trained on Employee Health Policy.
Corrective Actions: In 10 days (By 12/26/22), send me copy of signed training on Employee Health Policy for Employee "Anih" and have at restaurant for all employees.

15: 470 In walk-in, box of raw fish stored on top of tortillas, causing potential for contamination.
Corrective Actions: COS. Please stack like Ready to Eat Foods/Already Cooked at top, Below that Raw fish, Below that Raw hamburger, Below that Raw chicken (Cooked to highest temperature).

23: 830 Refried beans and cooked chicken in walk-in had not been marked with date prepared or cooked.

28: 3340 See above.
Corrective Actions: See above.

28: 3320 Unlabeled cleaning sprays found in hall leading to ice machine, in serving station, under hand sink in bar. Unlabeled spray bottles (Clear liquid) stored on shelf below bar with bottles of alcohol. Above prep in service station, condiments stored with Purell Spray.
Corrective Actions: COS. All working containers of chemicals/cleaners should be clearly labeled. Further, all chemicals should be stored separate from any food or rinks. This prevents confusion as to what is in which bottle and can prevent poisonings and formation of toxic gases when chemicals are mixed.

Corrective Actions: COS. Foods should be thawed under refrigeration or under cold running water or as part of the cooking process.

39: 690 Onions in mesh bag sitting on floor of walk-in. Next to hand sink in service area, there are serving bowls below the hand soap and paper towels, exposing this clean dishware to contamination.
Corrective Actions: Do not store foods on floor, but 6" off floor. Look at what is near hand sinks and what could be contaminated and move items if necessary.

43: 550 Both front of bar and back of bar ice containers had scoops stored with handles touching the ice, which could cause contamination.
Corrective Actions: Ice scoops should be stored with handles out of ice or in a holder or on a clean dry location.

Additional Comments

Permit and QR code sign are framed but fell off wall where they had them. Looking to reinforce area and report.
Did risk calculation - Currently @ "4". After 1 year if all violations are corrected in a timely fashion, could move to "3".
Dispenser on 3-compartment sink sanitizer not working currently. Can use this sink to wash and rinse but take things to dish machine to sanitize. Or can purchase plain Chlorox bleach (not scented, not "splashless") and use this as sanitizer @ 50-100 ppm.
Tested sani-bucket in bar with cloths in it - no sanitizer. This just allows bacteria to grow and you spread germs with cleaning cloths. Cleaning cloths should be stored in sanitizer solution when not in use.
