All food workers had valid food worker cards except one, who started today. She will obtain card overnight. Please ensure all workers have valid cards before working with food. 

Several boxes of raw chicken were thawing at room temperature, stacked on the floor. This is not allowed and has been previously discussed. Frozen foods must be thawed in the refrigerator or in the food prep sink completely immersed under cold running water. These were either placed back into the freezer or placed in the sink to thaw correctly. (3 Blue)

Potentially hazardous foods were cold holding between 482 and 57.4 degrees and must be kept at 41 degrees F or below at all times. These were discarded. This is a repeat violation. (10 Red)

A box of dry noodles was stored on a top shelf immediately below an area of peeling paint, which is a potential source of contamination. These were moved. (5 Blue)

Some cleaned dishes still had significant amounts of food bits, grease or dirt on them. Please ensure all dishes are washed well in soapy water, rinsed in hot plain water, sanitized and then air dried. If using dishwasher, dishes must be scraped well first. (5 Blue)

Entire kitchen must be better cleaned, including food storage containers, counters, microwave, refrigerator, thermometer, etc. This is a repeat violation. (3 Blue)

Editor’s note: These figures are derived from inspections conducted by the Lewis County Public Health Department’s Food Safety Program.

Red violations are those most likely to cause foodborne illness and must be corrected at the time of inspection. Blue violations relate to overall cleanliness and operational conditions and must be corrected by established deadlines or by the next routine inspection.

Any establishment receiving 40 red points or any red point item repeated within an 18 month period is considered a high risk and must be reinspected. An establishment that receives 75 red points or 100 total points (red and blue) on a routine inspection or 40 red points on a repeat inspection will have their food establishment permit suspended.
