Violation #: 1

Description: Sewage Back-up (ISFD)

Comments:

PRIORITY VIOLATION-5-402.13, P: Conveying Sewage ------ Observed an active sewage backflow at the "Isle 1" floor sink underneath shelving. Observed approximately 1 inch of standing water in the meat market area extending into the meat market office and back hallway. PIC stated the water backed up from the floor sinks under the 3 comp sink approximately 15-20 minutes prior to the start of the inspection. PIC was in the process of submitting a work order for repair at the time of inspection. Observed standing sewage at the floor sinks in the bakery/deli near the hall hand sink, ovens, and steam well. Observed a small backflow from the floor drain near the bakery hand sink after an employee washed their hands. Discussed standing sewage/grey water is an imminent health hazard and all food operations should cease. Discussed that the establishment does not meet the minimum requirements for operation since the establishment is not able to use the 3 comp sink for warewashing or handwashing in multiple areas. Discussed that the establishment cannot remain open with standing wastewater in the floor sinks/drains/floors. Please contact us for re-inspection once the drains/lines are clear, and there is no longer waste water accumulating in the drain. No open food is permitted to be served or prepared until the suspension is lifted. A re-inspection will be conducted upon repairing the drain line so that all plumbing fixtures can function normally.

"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.
