Inspector notes: Observed no paper towels at the handwashing station near the mop sink at time of inspection. Handwash sinks must be supplied with hot water of at least 100°F, soap and an approved hand drying provision at all times. Facilities must be maintained in a condition that promotes handwashing. PIC provided hand drying provision for handwash sink at time of inspection

Inspector notes: Observed portioned rice, sliced cheeses (swiss & cheddar), and portioned cooked peppers in prep tables throughout the cooking station with temperatures between 52 to 60*F at time of inspection. Time and temperature-controlled foods for safety (TCS) must be cooled in: uncovered/loosely covered, shallow containers less than 4 inches deep, in equipment designed to rapidly cool, by using an ice bath, by using ice as an ingredient, or another effective means. Discussed with PIC about utilizing proper refrigerator units made to cool and not prep tables at time of inspection

Inspector notes: Observed establishment actively utilizing dish machine at time of inspection. Observed high temperature dish machine in kitchen temp between 145 to 149*F at time of inspection. Person in charge (PIC) ran the machine additional times and the temperature remained around 145*F was from additional of the runs. When food-contact surfaces are being sanitized with hot water in a dish machine, the surface temperature must reach at least 160°F as measured by an irreversible registering temperature measuring device to destroy pathogens that may remain on such surfaces after cleaning. Establishment discontinued use of the dish machine and set up 3-compartment sink, at time of inspection

Inspector notes: Observed no min/max thermometer for high temp dish machine at time of inspection. Must provide a min/max probe thermometer for establishment prior to re-inspection. Sanitizing using high temperature warewashing machines requires an irreversible measuring device to ensure food contact surfaces reach 160°F. Provide approved irreversible measuring device prior to re-inspection on 1/31/2025
