Observations & Corrective Actions

29: 3630 (4) Hissho Sushi has a statewide variance for Virginia Department of Health (VDH) dated 4/22/14. This is based on a HACCP plan that was presented and dated 1/4/21 and also accepted by VDH. Since then, Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS) has approved a HACCP plan from Hissho dated 12/20/23. This is what is on the website that Hissho can acces now whether they are under VDH or VDACS regulation.
Corrective Actions: The current HACCP plan approved by VDH is dated 1/4/21, and all VDH regulated facilities should have a copy of this on site. Get a copy of the current VDH approved HACCP plan at this site within 10 days. Would recommend that Hissho Corporate reach out to VDH and update variance request with the new HACCP plan for consistency in all Hissho locations.

41: 570 Wiping cloths sitting on surfaces and in use. Not kept in sani-bucket between uses.
Corrective Actions: COS - Asked Manager to prepare a sani-bucket to keep wiping cloths in between uses to prevent bacterial growth when not in use.

45: 2000 (A) (C) Box of single service items on floor behind cash register.
Corrective Actions: COS - Asked Manager to store all single service 6" off floor to prevent potential contamination.

Additional Comments
