Observed three items stored immersed in ice bath or on top of cube ice at cook station in kitchen - French toast egg batter, turkey bacon, and shredded cheese. Items measured above 41F.

Clearly mark foods with begin and end times. All food not sold by the end of 4 hours shall be discarded. -P/Pf. Observed TPHC procedures in place for many items offered for service but record keeping for these items was incomplete at Main Dish area and Grill station. REPEAT. This has been an issue for inspections on 7/8/20, 10/13/20, and 1/11/21. VR - verification required. A risk control plan will now be required and EHS will address during verification visit. CDI - PIC asked each operator about the times they had placed items into TPHC and corrected the log sheets.
38 0.50 Personal cleanliness No No No 2-303.11 Remove jewelry on hands and arms while preparing food. A plain ring, such as a wedding band, is allowed. Observed one employee with a wristwatch and two others with bracelets, both handling food.
46 0 Warewashing facilities: installed, maintained and used; test strips No No No 4-603.16 Rinsing Procedures - C Washed utensils shall be rinsed after cleaning and before sanitizing. Asked PIC about how knives were being washed, rinsed, and sanitized after use at prep stations. PIC said that each employee will use the green bucket of soapy water followed by the red bucket of sanitizer to clean knives after each use rather than using the dish machine or 3 compartment sink. No alternative ware washing method is currently approved. Issues with this method would be no rinse step, no approved alternative method, wash water less than 110F, and no air drying. Process was not observed today so no points are being taken but method should change immediately to using dish machine or 3 compartment sink.
