| Inspection Memo: |
A follow up inspection was conducted today in response to violations noted on the routine inspection dated 2/1/2021.
The following violation corrections were observed:
-All hand wash sinks have been provided with soap and paper towels. A new paper towel dispenser was installed at the warewashing area hand wash sink, and the inoperable paper towel dispenser at the hand wash sink by the taco station has been repaired.
-The warewashing area hand wash sink has been reattached to the wall and the leak has been eliminated.
-The left side 3 compartment sink faucet has been reinstalled. Facility has installed a hose with sprayer on a potable water line below the dish machine drainboard.
-Observed the chemical dish machine at the bar with 50ppm chlorine.
-Per manager, cooked chicken and care asada are now stored in the refrigerator for use rather than hot held in a water bath on the griddle. However, manager stated that if they return to hot holding at the griddle water bath, they will first reheat in an oven to 165*F.
-Facility is no longer using the lower drawers of the 4 drawer refrigerator at the taco station. A work order has been set up to repair. Ensure the lower drawers hold at or below 41*F prior to resuming use.
-Per manager, the ice chest adjacent to the bar area hand wash sink will not be used until a solution is in place to prevent splash contamination from the immediately adjacent hand wash sink.
Continue to correct the following:
-Observed salsa and ceviche holding at 44-47*F in the cold top unit opposite the griddle. Prior discussions with manager were to re-install the cold top unit lids to better cold hold, however, manager states this is impractical as these items are used very frequently. Operator to continue to find a strategy that works best for keeping these items at or below 41*F such as calling for repair service, using an ice bath, or using Time as a Public Health Control. Using time (4 hours) rather than Temperature as a public health control would require submitting a written procedure by email for review and approval.
-The newly reinstalled left side faucet of the 3 compartment sink does not have hot water. The faucet lines are still being hooked up. Immediately provide hot water to this faucet. Note the right side faucet of the 3 compartment sink has hot water and facility has a functional dish machine.
-A work order has been set up to replace missing grout between red quarry tiles throughout kitchen. Continue to replace grout to provide a smooth, durable, and easily cleanable floor. Note that replacement of flooring which is not like for like will require plan review by Placer County EH.
