Inspector's notes

-- At mop sink, observed a hose connected to an Atmospheric Vacuum Breaker (AVB) with a water supply line directly feeding a chemical dispenser. Reviewed hazards with the person in charge: AVBs should never directly feed a chemical dispenser because chemical dispensers create continuous pressure, causing AVBs to fail and creating a high-health-hazard cross-connection. AVBs are designed for intermittent use, and they must have their outlet open to the atmosphere. The manager disconnected the hose at the time of inspection. Ensure employees are reminded to never leave a hose on with constant pressure. Corrective Action: Corrected at time of inspection.

Inspector's notes

Soda nozzles at both soda fountains observed with syrup residue build up on their internal surfaces. Discussed cleaning methods with PIC. Please clean the nozzles in a manner and frequency that prevents buildup of residues, debris, and/or organic matter. ***2nd consecutive violation*** Corrective Action: Correct prior to next routine inspection.

Inspector's notes

Recently sliced tomatoes with internal temperature of 51*F found in walk-in inside of containers that were covered with tightly placed plastic wrap. Please do not tightly cover container with cooling TCS food items until they have reached a temperature of 41*F or below. While in the cooling process, please allow airflow into containers to minimize cooling time frames. Corrective Action: Correct prior to next routine inspection.

Inspector's notes

Tomato soup, macaroni & cheese, and another macaroni & cheese in a sealed bag found reheating in hot holding unit. Each of the items are placed in the unit around 9:00 AM today and was found at 110*F around 11:20 AM during the inspection. PIC voluntarily discarded the items. Discussed reheating times/temperature with PIC (2 hours to reach 135*F or above for items initially opened or still in commercial packaging). Discussed reheating methods with PIC and possible use of microwave or other equipment that can reheat faster or more reliably. Please ensure proper reheating times/temperatures are met when reheating TCS food items. Corrective Action: Corrected at time of inspection.

PRIORITY VIOLATION-3-501.16(A)(2) and (B), P: Time/Temperature Control for Safety Food, Cold Holding. For a permanent fix to this violation, check out these simple tools in our Active Managerial Control Toolbox, made especially for you. https://www.maricopa.gov/4576/AMC-Toolbox---Cold-Holding. - Bottles of milk in grab-and-go cooler near front counter found with internal temperatures of 42-51*F. Temperatures verified with PIC's and inspector's probe thermometers. PIC stated the bottles of milk were placed in the cooler last night. The cooler read that it was blowing at 38*F. The positioning of the items in the cooler may have caused the air curtain to be blocked and caused the temperature of the items to rise. PIC discarded the milks. The cooler will not be used to cold hold TCS food items until it is repaired/replaced and able to maintain an ambient temperature of 41*F. Discussed with PIC that empty "display only" bottles could be placed in the cooler to advertise the product. Please ensure cold held TCS food items are maintained at 41*F or below. Correct By: Corrected At Time Of Inspection

Core-5-205.15 (B), C: System Maintained in Good Repair; Maintained - Ice machine drain line is dripping behind it. Floor drain near ice machine is slow and allowing water to pool in the area. Please repair. Correct By: Correct Prior To Next Routine Inspection

Core-6-201.13, C: Floor and Wall Junctures, Coved, and Enclosed or Sealed - Rubber cove base missing near office, behind ice machine, in corner near front door entrance. Cove base is also damaged, peeling off the wall, or has small gaps in it throughout various areas of facility including restrooms. Countertop of sink in men's restroom is damaged on lower edge.

Core-3-501.15 (B), C: Cooling Methods; Cooling containers. For a permanent fix to this violation, check out these simple tools in our Active Managerial Control Toolbox, made especially for you. https://www.maricopa.gov/4617/AMC-Toolbox---Cooling. - Sliced and diced tomatoes in walk-in found cooling with internal temperatures of 45-50*F. Sticker on the time showed a prep time of around 9:00 AM. The container of the tomatoes were covered with a tightly wrapped plastic wrap. PIC removed the wrap and placed the tomatoes in the freezer for rapid cooling. The tomatoes were found below 41*F prior to 1:00 PM. Please ensure best cooling methods are employed when cooling TCS food items. Correct By: Corrected At Time Of Inspection
