Additional Comments

NOTE: This facility was visited for an inspection this afternoon during a basketball game.

This is a location at a concession stand at Liberty's basketball arena stadium & will only be used during some home games (so used less than twenty times or so throughout the basketball season in the fall/winter).
The menu is : fountain & bottles beverages, chicken sandwiches, chicken nuggets, chicken wraps, chicken subs, and/or packaged chips. All food will be prepared and packaged at the store and arrive in cooler with cold packs or in a hot box which is plugged in upon arrival. Food arrive in coolers or hot boxes about every 1-2 hours or as needed. Food temperatures will be checked when items leave the Timberlake Rd brick & mortar store. There is no dishware or utensils outside of ice scoops and ice bins. The owners have written permission to use the three-compartment sink and dishwashing area at the arena as needed.

Verbally discussed: employee food handler health policy, hand washing policy / procedures, food handlers needing hair restraints, storage of ice scoop, using time as a public health control requires markings AND a written plan (already submitted); having and using metal stem probe thermometers for food as well as having accurate thermometers in all cold and hot holding units.
VDH food permit expiring 10/2025 was posted near door as well as the QR Code poster stating a copy of inspection is available.
