Observations & Corrective Actions

6: 220 6 OUT 220 CORRECTED Three employee beverages (with a lid and a straw or coffee up stye lid) were observed sitting around the kitchen above or beside food, or on a wire shelf above to-go boxes and food utensils so if these beverages spilled, the liquid would go into food on packages of food or food contact surfaces,
Corrective Actions: Correction Have designated area away from food prep, clean equipment, & single service items where employees can store their drinks. Also, employee beverages must have lid & straw OR be a coffee cup style lid and be handled in a manner to prevent contamination. No screw top bottles.

38: 3270 (1) (2) (4) 3270 REPEAT Harborage conditions exist in the large office / child area as there is so much clutter, personal items, kids items, old containers, etc. in several areas of the restaurant that the floor cannot be swept not can the areas be monitored throughout the week for pests,
Corrective Actions: Eliminate harborage conditions. Insects and other pests are capable of transmitting disease to man by contaminating food and food-contact surfaces. Work each week to get rid of items not necessary to the food business and decrease as well as organize the personal items so you can actually monitor your food facility for pests. If you work on this each week you should be able to have things cleaned and decluttered by July.

56: 3140 56 OUT 3140 REPEAT Personal items & kids toys were commingled with restaurant items in parts of the kitchen. This is mostly observed in the office / room with the non-used facility sink, making the area hard to be swept, kept clean, and monitored for pests. The clutter and piles and stacks of random clutter, personal items and children items need to be organized and there is just too much stuff in stacks and covering so many surfaces in this room in general.
Corrective Actions: Correction: Work to remove items unnecessary to the food business from the facility each week. Please do not have so many surfaces covered with stacks if items all over this area. Please have this addressed by the end of July. Also, have separation of personal items and restaurant foods, restaurant dishware, restaurant to-go containers, etc. Designate an area(s) of the facility to be for employees and/or owners personal items. The owner will work to go thru items and take items unnecessary to the food establishment away. There should not be this much personal, child, or other clutter just stacked in piles in your food establishment.

Additional Comments

NOTE: Please work to keep limiting children toys kept at the restaurant and children / personal items separate from restaurant food and supplies. Also, keep employee beverages and food / food contact surfaces separated too please.
