Comments/Details

Upon owners request. Walk through for this dollar store with soda fountain. Location does not have a three compartment sink or hand wash sink outside the restroom. In addition the water heater was 2 gallons. If you want to continue operating the soda fountain the following item will need to be addressed:
Noticed floor sink, please check if it is working/draining and repair if needed.
1). For the walk-in condensate, create dry wells, 1 x 1 x 2 feet deep holes filled with rocks or create a planter into the which the water can be run. There are three lines coming out of the wall.
2). Please install a three compartment sink with hot and cold water and waste the waste water indirect to the floor sink.
3). Install a hand wash sink in the area of the sink and ice machine. If you install it n the soiled side of the three compartment sink a splash guard is not needed. This sink too can be run to the floor sink.
4). Please install FRP with trims on the wall behind the sinks, also behind the mop / utility sink.

"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.
