Contamination prevented during food preparation, storage & display
Core-3-305.11, C: Food Storage-Preventing Contamination from the Premises ------ Observed sealed boxes of food in both walk in freezers stored directly on the ground. In the walk in freezer near the dining room, observed food stored on wooden pallets. Per the owner the establishment does not own a pallet lifter. Discussed that foods should be stored at least 6 inches off the floor to prevent contamination and allow for thorough cleaning of facilities. Discussed that pallets may only be used in conjunction with a pallet lifter and if the pallet lifter is capable of entering the walk in. The manager stated that new NSF/equivalent shelves have been purchase but are backordered. Move foods so they are stored properly on approved storage racks prior to the next routine inspection.
