Observations & Corrective Actions

10: 2310 10 OUT 2310 Again today, the hand wash sink near register and near the foo prepration area was blocked by metal rack with boxes in front. Inspector had to ask the cook / manager to move the metal shelf so hands could be washed prior to starting the inspection.
Corrective Actions: Corrected during inspection by inspector asking staff to move rack. Keep all hand wash sinks stocked and accessible at all times. Hand washing is very imporatant to public health and preventing food foodborne illness. Please wash your hands between handling credit cards, money, etc. and preparing food. When your hand sink is not accessible you cannot do this. After you handle money or handle credit cards you should wash your hands -- just putting on gloves or using hand santiizer is enough or proper procedures.

15: 470 15 OUT 470 Several flats or flat egg cartons with in-shell eggs in them of were observed being stored above ready-to-eat foods and produce in the walk-in cooler. .
Corrective Actions: Correction: ALWAYS Store ready-to-eat / cooked foods or produce above raw foods to avoid cross-contamination. The raw , in shell eggs were moved to the bottom shelf of the coolers at the inspector's request

28: 3490 28 - 3490 - Personal Care Items - Storage REPEAT CORRECTED Several bottles of prescription medicine, bottles of pump hand sanitizer, liquid flu & cold medicine, etc. were stored on a shelf in such a way that they could contaminate food below these items in the prep area near the three-compartment sink. These items were moved during the last inspection, but staff put them right back -- please understand the risk of if medicine, Rx pills, or chemicals get into your food served to customers how ill someone could get.
Corrective Actions: Correction: All personal care items, medicines & first aid supplies, chemical, etc. must be stored in such a way to prevent potential contamination of food, food contact items, equipment, utensils, linens, single-service and single-use articles. Store these below and away from food and food prep. Do not store chemicals, medicine, or personal care items above food! ** COS Moved at request of inspector **

49: 1800 49 - 1800 - Non-Food Contact Surfaces REPEAT The nonfood contact surface of the sides and top to the prep cooler has an accumulations of grime and old food particles. There is a black mildew / mold-like growth on the gaskets to the prep cooler. The stainless steel table beside the prep cooler has encrusted old food particles on it as well as a layer of dirty tape on the edges.. The cutting board at the prep cooler is stained brown. The stainless steel behind the wok cooking area has grease and old food particles on and around it. The wall around the 1-basin sink has old food a particles on it. In the walk-in cooler, the shelving is rusty and needs to be repaired or replaced to good condition so rust cannot flake off onto food -- covering the top of this shelving with cardboard is not a proper solution.
Corrective Actions: Correction: Clean the surface at a frequency necessary to preclude accumulation of soil residues that become encrusted or attract insects and rodents. These items will be cleaned within the next five (5) days. Furthermore, a weekly cleaning schedule will be created to prevent things from getting so dirty in the future.
