PIC Performing Duties

PIC/CFM not performing required Codes as evidenced from Inspection and violation cited/noted including bare bhand contact with RTE foods as witnessed from staff at front counter with CFM.(Cucumber).Pan in handsink at front counter.Raw shelled eggs on top shelf in Walk-in over Produce(lettuce etc)..CFM trying to test a Chlorine sanitizer with Quat test paper.No available approved HACCP plan available for review logs not filled outr(PH) no letter from vendor on frozen fish CFM/PIC has NO idea what method of Calibration is used on meter-cant explain procedure-no logs available as well as Time/temperature controls for procedures utilized.It's clear from Initial Inspection and 24hr compliance for critical violations that PIC who happens to be the CFM is unsure of what are proper safe food principles and practices.I asked the same questions today on type of Sanitizer used in 3bay sink with associated concentration and he didn't know(although there is a sign posted at sink).Same issue with dishwasher.Staff observed again today using bare hand contact with RTE food washing pan in food prep sink and using handsinks for additional usage.PIC doesn't seem to understand the concept of cross-contamination as evidenced by raw animal foods again stored over produce and RTE fruit in Walk-in.Also the same cutting board was observed usage for cutting raw fish and for vegetable use.I tried to explain seperate cutting surfaces knives bamboo mats sanitizer buckets etc.Due to this disconnect and lack of basic understanding of Safe food practices that was learned by individual back in 2008 by Certificate hanging on wall a recertification needs to occer ASAP.Provide documentation that an upcoming course has been signed up for.

Why This Matters

EXTREME RISK: Without active management, ALL five CDC risk factors go unchecked. Studies show restaurants without certified managers have 2.5 times more critical violations. Lack of supervision leads to: temperature abuse (bacteria double every 20 minutes), cross-contamination spreading pathogens, sick employees working with food, improper cooking allowing pathogen survival. This single violation enables conditions for major outbreaks.

Code Requirements

PIC MUST: Be present during ALL operating hours; Hold valid food safety certification; Actively monitor employee health and hygiene; Ensure proper cooking, cooling, and holding temperatures; Verify foods from approved sources; Monitor handwashing compliance; Ensure equipment properly sanitized; Take immediate corrective actions for violations; Demonstrate knowledge to health inspector; Train and supervise all food employees.

Corrective Actions

IMMEDIATE: Designate qualified PIC immediately; If no certified manager available, cease operations; Implement active managerial control system; Create monitoring logs for all CDC risk factors; Retrain management on responsibilities; Post PIC duties checklist
