Number
Violations cited in this report must be corrected within the time frames below.
*1 There is no food safety manager certified by this Department (CFSM) on duty as required. A CFSM must be on duty at all times the facility is open and/or food is being prepared. A completed application(SA-71)for CFSM, or proof of enrollment in an approved safety class must be submitted to the Department.  New Violation.
*8 There are no paper towels at the hand wash sink. Each handwashing sink shall be provided with a supply of hand cleaning liquid, powder or bar soap, individual, disposable towels, a continuous towel system that supplies the user with a clean towel or a heated-air hand drying device. No hot water available at hand sink. Water for handwashing must be at 85F or above.  New Violation.
*13 *All Time/Temperature Control for Safety food products being displayed for sampling by customers are unprotected from contamination from customers. No covers or sneeze guards are present to protect the food product. Items for sampling must be covered and/or individually portioned for customer self-service.  New Violation.
*20 *Pickles, olives, and other TCS food items in cold hold units are being held at an unsafe temperature from 48-62F. Multiple products are out of any method of cold-holding. Time/temperature control for safety (TCS) food must be cold held at or below 41ºF. Facility has no more ice available to replenish cold hold units.  Repeat Violation.
*22 *Food on display for customer self-service sampling does not have a time on containers when they are to be sold by or discarded, or labels for display/sampling only. If time--rather than temperature--is used as the public health control the food shall be marked or otherwise identified to indicate the time that is 4 hours past the point in time when the food is removed from temperature control.  New Violation.

General Remarks
This reinspection occurred at the Bristol Sunday Stroll event.

This reinspection resulted in a closure due to the inability to hold Time/Temperature Control for Safety (TCS) food products at a safe temperature of 41F or below for cold-held TCS foods. Facility's cold-hold units are large igloo coolers with inadequate ice supply, resulting in food containers partially submerged in melting ice or no ice. Facility had no more ice available to replenish at time of inspection. This violation of failure to cold-hold TCS foods at 41F or below has been noted on multiple inspection reports and discussed at an administrative meeting conducted at the Department’s Central District office in Doylestown. After a phone call with the owner of facility during inspection, alerting owner of closure and informing food handlers of closure, the food handlers continued to serve customers for a period of time. EPS Kat Broadhead assisted with inspection.
