Critical Violations
| 4 points: SANITIZATION OF EQUIP. AND UTENSILS |
| An inadequate amount of chlorine sanitizer was noted in the final rinse of the dish machine. Priming of the sanitizer pump was attempted but this did not remedy the problem. Re-inspection for correction of this critical item will occur by 5-14-26. If more time is needed due to service delays the inspector must be contacted to request a delay of re-inspection. |
Non-Critical Violations
| 2 points: DISHWASHING FACILITIES |
| Sanitizer test strips for the dish machine should be readily accesible for the person working in the kitchen and be used at least daily to ensure that the dish machine is still properly sanitizing dishes. Use of test strips could have possibly prevented todays critical item by alerting the facility to the issue. It is unknown how long the dish machine has not been sanitizing dishes properly. |
