Violations Cited
590.004/4-501.114-PF
Manual and Mechanical Warewashing Equipment Chemical Sanitization-Temperature pH Concentration and Hardness (Pf)
The wash gauges on the dishwashers are not getting hot enough and the irreversible thermometer run through both machines show that the equipment is not reaching 160F. Provide proper hot water so equipment is getting sanitized. (All the equipment will be sanitized in the three bay sinks until the machine is repaired)
Why This Matters
INEFFECTIVE SANITIZATION: Below 50ppm chlorine or 200ppm quat, bacteria survive on 'clean' dishes. Above 200ppm chlorine leaves toxic residue causing chemical burns, nausea. 70% of restaurant outbreaks linked to improper sanitization.
Code Requirements
Maintain sanitizer at: Chlorine 50-100ppm, Quaternary Ammonium 200-400ppm, Iodine 12.5-25ppm. Test every 2 hours with test strips. Change solution when cloudy/dirty. Train all staff on mixing procedures.
