Observations & Corrective Actions

15: 470 Observed steak in the steak reach in cooler uncovered. I also observed sauces for chicken wings uncovered and exposed.
Corrective Actions: Foods shall be protected from contamination by being stored in packages, covered containers or wrappings unless being cooled.

23: 830 I observed steak meat without date marking
Corrective Actions: Date mark the container of RTE time/temperature control for safety (TCS) food prepared and held for more than 24 hours in the food establishment to indicate the day or date by which the food shall be served or sold. The RTE TCS food may be held for a maximum of 7 days with the day of preparation counted as day 1. Some harmful bacteria continue to grow even at refrigeration temperatures so limiting the amount of time in storage limits the amount of growth allowed for these bacteria.

38: I observed an enormous amount of dead coch roaches on sticky traps.
Corrective Actions: The pic stated beforehand that there is an issue with coch roaches. There is a PCO taking lead currently in maintaining the current infestation. I have spoke to the PCO Sean about the matter and he has agreed to increase treatment.

49: 1770 (C) I observed the deep fat fryer soiled of grease and debris. The outer serving lines and equipment were soiled of grease and dirt.
Corrective Actions: Myself and the pic discussed a detailed cleaning of the kitchen prep/cook area within 5 days . A follow up inspection of cleanliness was discussed and agreed upon.
