The ambient air temperature of the walk-in was between 49-51°F at the time of inspection (see violation 31). The Person in Charge (PIC) stated the food had internal temperatures below 41°F less than 4 hours before inspection time, so food in the walk-in cooler was moved to the walk-in freezer at the time of inspection. Discussed cold holding policies and procedures with the PIC. Provided guidance documents for cold holding and the link to the AMC toolbox on Maricopa County's website. Ensure all food being monitored by cold holding maintains internal temperatures of 41°F or below at ALL TIMES. This is the second consecutive violation.

Priority Foundation-4-301.11, Pf: Cooling, Heating, and Holding Capacities-Equipment. 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/4617/AMC-Toolbox---Cooling.

--Observed the walk-in cooler with ambient air temperatures between 49-51°F at the time of inspection. The PIC stated the walk-in had ambient air temperatures below 41°F less than 4 hours before inspection time, but the temperature was raised due to employees frequently entering and exiting this unit. Discussed the need for refrigeration units to maintain ambient air temperatures of 41°F or below at ALL TIMES. Discussed monitoring procedures and frequency with PIC. Establishment temporarily closed until a technician arrived and was able to repair the unit so air was blowing out of the unit fans at 38°F. The food in this unit must be able to maintain internal temperatures of 41°F or below at ALL TIMES, even with frequent entry into the unit. Reinspection will occur on Friday, February 23rd to ensure this violation is corrected and the walk-in is fully repaired. This is the second consecutive violation.

"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.

Grading System The matrix below is used to grade food inspections under the voluntary grading system.
Violation Category	Grade A	Grade B	Grade B	Grade B	Grade B	Grade B	Grade B	Grade B	Grade C	Grade C	Grade C	Grade C	Grade C	Grade C	Grade D	Grade D

Priority Foundation	0	1	2	3	4	0	1	2	5	3	4	0	1	2	more than 3	more than 0

Any legal action for a pattern of non-compliance or permit suspension results in a D.
