The inspection identified 2 distinct violations requiring correction. Each violation has established correction procedures that must be followed to achieve compliance.
The first violation related to cleaning procedures. Inspectors documented: 4300 - Non-food contact surfaces maintained and clean. FDA sanitation guidelines require regular cleaning and sanitizing of all food contact surfaces to prevent cross-contamination and bacterial growth. For more information, see FDA sanitation standards. Biofilms can form on inadequately cleaned surfaces, protecting bacteria from sanitizers.
The second violation concerned food temperatures. Inspectors documented: 1720 - Proper hot holding temperatures; between 130 degrees F to 134 degrees F. The FDA Food Code requires cold foods to be held at 41°F or below and hot foods at 135°F or above to prevent bacterial growth in the "danger zone." For more information, see FDA guidelines on temperature control. Time-temperature abuse allows harmful bacteria to multiply to levels that can cause illness.
The correction of health violations is monitored through follow-up inspections and documentation requirements. Establishments must demonstrate that they have addressed the root causes of violations, not just the immediate symptoms.
