OBSERVATIONS AND CORRECTIVE ACTIONS
Item
Number 		Severity Violations cited in this report must be corrected within the time frames below.
5 PF 2-501.11: A FOOD ESTABLISHMENT shall have procedures for EMPLOYEES to follow when responding to vomiting or diarrheal events that involve the discharge of vomitus or fecal matter onto surfaces in the FOOD ESTABLISHMENT. The procedures shall address the specific actions EMPLOYEES must take to minimize the spread of contamination and the exposure of EMPLOYEES, consumers, FOOD, and surfaces to vomitus or fecal matter.
The facility does not have a bodily fluids clean up kit or a procedure for cleaning a vomiting or diarrheal event. Provide a bodily fluids clean up kit. - (Correct By: Apr 5, 2025)
21 P 3-501.16(A)(1): (A) Except during preparation, cooking, or cooling, or when time is used as the public health control as specified under §3-501.19, and except as specified under ¶ (B) and in ¶ (C ) of this section, TIME/TEMPERATURE CONTROL FOR SAFETY FOOD shall be maintained: (1)At 57°C (135°F) or above, except that roasts cooked to a temperature and for a time specified in ¶ 3-401.11(B) or reheated as specified in ¶ 3-403.11(E) may be held at a temperature of 54°C (130°F) or above.
The temperature of the cheese sauce stored in the boiler was 90-100 degrees. The boiler was set to 125 degrees. The temperature of the boiler was increased to rapidly raise the temperature of the cheese. COS
24 PF 3-501.19 (A): (A) Except as specified under ¶ (D) of this section, if time withouttemperature control is used as the public health control for a working supply of TIME/TEMPERATURE CONTROL FOR SAFETY FOOD before cooking, or for READY-TO-EAT TIME/TEMPERATURE CONTROL FOR SAFETY FOOD that is displayed or held for sale or service: (1) Written procedures shall be prepared in advance, maintained in the FOOD ESTABLISHMENT and made available to the REGULATORY AUTHORITY upon request that specify: (a) Methods of compliance with Subparagraphs (B)(1)-(3) or C)(1)-(5) of this section;  and (b) Methods of compliance with § 3-501.14 for FOOD that is prepared, cooked, and refrigerated before time is used as a public health control.
Cooked French fries are stored in pans on the countertop with Time as the Public Health Control. However, the facility does not have any written procedures on site. Provide written procedures. - (Correct By: Apr 5, 2025)
56 C 6-501.110: (A) Dressing rooms shall be used by EMPLOYEES if the EMPLOYEES regularly change their clothes in the establishment. (B) Lockers or other suitable facilities shall be used for the orderly storage of EMPLOYEE clothing and other possessions.
Observed employee drinks stored above and alongside food, equipment, and single use items. Drinks were moved to a designated location away from these items. COS
Inspection Comments   THE RISK OF THIS FACILITY WAS CHANGED FROM HIGH TO MEDIUM:
-MOST FOOD IS PREPARED FOR IMMEDIATE SERVICE.
-PREPARED FOODS UNDER HOT TEMPERATURE CONTROL ARE DISCARDED AT THE END OF THE DAY.
-FACILITY COOKS, COOLS, AND REHEATS ONLY ONE TYPE OF FOOD PRODUCT. THERE IS A HISTORY OF GOOD SOPS AND NO FOODBORNE ILLNESS COMPLAINTS.

A COPY OF THE REQUIRED ILLINOIS ALLERGEN POSTING WAS PROVIDED AND THE REQUIRED ALLERGEN INFORMATION FOR MENU ITEMS WAS DISCUSSED. BOTH WILL BE REVIEWED AT THE NEXT ROUTINE INSPECTION.

THE TEMPERATURE OF THE BOILER CANNOT BE PERMANENTLY SET TO MORE THAN 125 DEGREES, BECAUSE THE QUALITY OF THE CHEESE RAPIDLY DEGRADES WHEN SET TO A HIGHER TEMPERATURE. BOTH THE FACILITY AND I WILL RESEARCH ALTERNATIVES TO THIS.
HACCP Topic: HOT HOLDING TEMPERATURES.
