Food-contact surfaces: cleaned & sanitized
Inspector Comments
Upon arrival, the mechanical ware washing machine in the kitchen was checked for sanitizer.
There was no residual, and looking at the chemicals hooked up to the machine, it was determined that the machine was provided a Quaternary Ammonium sanitizer.
Mechanical ware washing machines are only meant to be used with a chlorine based sanitizer.
Chef demonstrated how they test the machine, which was with chlorine test strips.
The kitchen staff was unaware of the chemical supposed to be used, nor the fact that the test strips wouldn’t work.
Chlorine sanitizer was obtained.
Must educate all staff, including maintenance, who kitchen staff stated is the person who changes the chemicals, on proper hook up of chemicals to machine.
Failure to use the right chemicals in the mechanical ware washing machine will result in wares not being sanitized properly, and mechanical failure due to different chemicals being used.

Food-contact surfaces: cleaned & sanitized
Inspector Comments
In kitchen 2 door refrigerator, there were containers of fresh spinach that were being covered with wiping cloths.
All food contact surfaces must be smooth, easily cleanable and non-porous. Wiping cloths are not permitted to be used as a cover for food products.
These containers were also stacked on top of each other, which is also a source of contamination.
Must only cover items in storage with a smooth cleanable and non-porous surface, and discontinue stacking products inside other containers of products.

Physical facilities installed, maintained, & clean
Inspector Comments
Mechanical ware washing machine is not providing a sanitizer residual in the rinse cycle. After chlorine was provided, it was determined that the squeeze tube was not putting enough chlorine into the machine.
The machine must be put out of service until chlorine can be provided into the rinse cycle.
