Lumber City Care Center

Inspector notes: Observed an open beverage container on a food preparation table and an opened bottled soda stored above food items in dry storage. CA: Employees may only drink from a single-service beverage cup with a secure lid and straw that is handled in a manner to prevent contamination of hands, food, and food-contact surfaces. Open beverage containers pose a risk of contaminating food and clean equipment. COS: Person in charge voluntarily removed the open beverages from food preparation and storage areas at the time of inspection.

Inspector notes: Observed 3-compartment sink quaternary ammonium sanitizer not registering on test strips. Quat sanitizer supply container was found empty. CA: Chemical sanitizers must be used at proper concentrations per manufacturer’s label and maintained to effectively sanitize food-contact surfaces and utensils. Failure to maintain the correct concentration can result in inadequate sanitization and potential contamination of cleaned utensils and dishes. COS: Person in charge replaced the empty quat sanitizer container and re-sanitized all dishes at the time of inspection.

Inspector notes: Observed wet wiping cloths throughout the kitchen not stored in sanitizing solution between uses. CA: In-use wiping cloths used for cleaning counters and equipment surfaces must be held in a properly prepared sanitizer solution between uses to prevent the growth and spread of bacteria. Cloths left out at room temperature can become a source of cross-contamination. COS: Person in charge prepared a sanitizing solution and placed all wet wiping cloths in the solution at the time of inspection.

Inspector notes: The permit is not posted in a location in the food service establishment that is conspicuous to the consumers.

Inspector notes: Observed single-service items (cups and plates) stored on floor in the office and back dry storage. Single-service items must be stored 6" off of the floor.
