Inspector's notes
2ND CONSECUTIVE VIOLATION Observed the high-temp mechanical dish machine with a maximum temperature of 149.7, min/max thermometer, verified by PIC, while in use and after being ran several times. Temperatures were not documented on the log near the dish machine, for the day of the inspection. Employee provided a gallon of chlorine and switched the dish machine to chemical sanitizing (50-100 ppm chlorine). Discussed the importance of adequately sanitizing dishes. When food contact surfaces are being sanitized with hot water in a dish machine, the surface temperature must reach at least 160ºF as measured by an irreversible registering temperature measuring device to destroy pathogens that may remain on such surfaces after cleaning. Corrective Action: Corrected at time of inspection.
