Inspector notes: Observed no pH test strips in establishment at time of inspection. Establishment utilizes pH test strips for sanitizing food contact surfaces of the ice cream machine via hydro rinse. Test strips are required for any sanitizers used with food contact surfaces. Person in charge (PIC) provided receipt for ordered test strips at time of inspection

Inspector notes: Observed no paper towels available at the hand washing sink near the 3-compartment sink. PIC provided paper towels. Discussed the importance of hand washing. Facilities must be maintained in a condition that promotes handwashing. Handwashing sinks must be maintained so accessible at all times, not used for other purposes than hand washing, and supplied with warm water, soap and paper towels

Inspector notes: Observed food debris and grease on the food contact surfaces of several hot holding trays and metal utensils being stored as clean and/or air-drying. The trays and utensils are used in contact with TCS foods such as cooked and raw hamburger patties, breaded chicken, etc. PIC placed the soiled equipment in the 3-compartment sink to be rewashed and sanitized. Equipment food contact surfaces and utensils shall be clean to sight and touch. Discussed the hazards of TCS foods left on equipment that is stored at room temperature. Many foodborne illness pathogens grow rapidly in the danger zone (41-135F). TCS food debris remaining on clean equipment is a potential source of contamination for foods that come into contact with the equipment
