Violation #: 16
Description: Food-Contact Surfaces: Cleaned and Sanitized
Comments:
PRIORITY VIOLATION-4-703.11 - Priority: Hot Water and Chemical-Methods; Sanitizing Food Contact Surfaces. For a permanent fix to this violation, check out these simple tools in our Active Managerial Control Toolbox, made especially for you. https://www.maricopa.gov/4574/AMC-Toolbox---Food-Contact-Surfaces.
Addl Notes: Observed high temperature dishwasher actively washing dishes with a sanitizing cycle max temperature of 156*F, measured using min/max thermometer. Observed quat hooked up to the machine measuring 0 ppm quat. After running the machine multiple times, the maximum sanitizing cycle temperature was 163.2 *F, measured using min/max. Discussed with PIC running the dishwasher with an accurate high temperature registering device for a few cycles before loading in dishes to ensure that food contact surfaces are being properly sanitized. Discussed with PIC that quat is not typically used for warewashing machines as a sanitizer. When food-contact surfaces are being sanitized with hot water in a dish machine, the surface temperature must reach at least 160°F as measured by an irreversible registering temperature measuring device to destroy pathogens that may remain on such surfaces after cleaning. Food-contact surfaces were properly sanitized at time of inspection. Corrective Action: Corrected at time of inspection.
Violation #: 22
Description: Proper Cold Holding Temperatures
Comments:
PRIORITY VIOLATION-3-501.16(A)(2) and (B) - Priority: Time/Temperature Control for Safety Food, Cold Holding. For a permanent fix to this violation, check out these simple tools in our Active Managerial Control Toolbox, made especially for you.https://www.maricopa.gov/4576/AMC-Toolbox---Cold-Holding.
Addl Notes: Observed sliced ham, sliced cheddar cheese, sliced pepper jack, bacon, pesto, butter, and spinach with internal temperatures ranging 48*F-62*F stored in the prep table. The ambient air temperature of the unit was 57.2*F, measured using min/max thermometer. PIC stated that everything except the pesto and spinach had been in the unit since six hours prior to inspection. PIC stated that the pesto and spinach had been in the unit for about an hour prior. PIC placed the spinach and pesto in the walk-in to cool down to 41*F at time of inspection. PIC discarded all items placed over 4 hours prior. Food was embargoed. Discussed with PIC that the unit cannot be used to store TCS foods until it is capable of holding them at 41*F or below. PIC agreed to not use the machine to store TCS foods until the unit is fixed. Discussed with PIC recommendation to store TCS foods directly in pans to allow for improved cold holding instead of maintaining in jars. Except during preparation, cooking, cooling or when time is used as a control all TCS foods must be maintained at 41°F or below. Eggs not treated to destroy Salmonellae can be stored in equipment that maintains an ambient air temperature of 45°F or below. All TCS foods improperly cold held were discarded by PIC at time of inspection. Corrective Action: Corrected at time of inspection.

"A" for Food Safety
Through our grading system, Maricopa County Environmental Services Department provides at-a-glance indications of how food establishments perform during food safety inspections. This system is designed to grade food establishments in terms of food safety requirements and provide recognition to those who choose to participate.
How does it work?
The issuance of grade cards to food establishments is based on voluntary participation. The person in charge, who is present during the inspection, will be asked whether they would like to participate in the Grading System. This will be decided prior to each inspection. If an establishment does not participate in the Grading System, Not Participating or NP will appear on the inspection report, and the inspection will still occur. If an establishment does participate, a grade of A, B, C, or D will be determined at the conclusion of the inspection using the Grading System chart below. Participating establishments will then be provided with a grade card that can be posted in the establishment. The status of the establishment’s grade will also appear on the Restaurant Ratings page of the department’s website.
How can I determine the grade?
The Grading System chart can be used to determine grades earned for establishments that do not participate. Grades are determined by the number of Priority and Priority Foundation violations received at the time of inspection. Violation types are defined in general terms below.
Definitions
- Priority Violation
- Major violation that directly contributes to increasing the risk of foodborne illness or injury (e.g. Food employees do not properly wash hands when required).
- Priority Foundation Violation
- Minor violation that does not directly contribute to an increased risk of foodborne illness but failure to correct this violation may lead to the occurrence of a priority violation. For example, hand washing soap and paper towels not available at hand wash sink (may lead directly to food employees not properly washing hands when required).
- Core Violation
- Minor violation that relates to general maintenance and sanitation (e.g. No sign reminding employees to wash hands).
- Cutting Edge Program
- All county food-related establishments can partner with Maricopa County to implement a proactive approach to reducing foodborne illness risk factors by implementing food safety systems that include policies, training, and verification processes. Partners enrolled in the Cutting Edge Program receive an A+ when an A is earned.
