Comments: A follow-up inspection was performed in response to the 09-DEC-2021 standard/critical control point inspection where a lack of food safety knowledge and immediate health concerns were observed.

At the time of follow-up, the store manager was on-site to meet with inspectors. The manager was knowledgeable in food safety but does not have a current, valid Ohio Manager’s Certification in Food Protection.

Previous issues observed by inspectors were discussed in extensive detail. Emphasized at this follow-up was the importance of the following food safety items:

1. The need for adequate food safety training for all food employees.

2. Proper handwashing and glove usage to protect public health.

3. Temperature monitoring procedures to ensure hot/cold TCS foods are either above 135F or below 41F.

4. The need for enhanced cleaning throughout (both equipment and the physical facilities).

5. The proper cleaning and sanitizing of food contact surfaces.

To help the facility with proper training of food employees, several food safety handouts were given at the time of re-inspection. At this time the following safety guides were given to the PIC:

1. Food Safety Handbook & Food Safety Emergency Handbook;

2. Cold holding food safety handout & temperature guidelines sheet;

3. A Food Service Operation (FSO) and Pre-operational checklist guide;

4. Proper cooking, cooling and reheating handout;

5. Handout on the major food allergens; and,

6. A Person-in-Charge (PIC) Demonstration of Knowledge handout.

At least one person per the establishment will need to obtain the Managerial Food Safety Certification (formerly level 2). When the facility is absent this individual, at least one person per shift is required to have PIC Certification (formerly level 1). To ensure the facility has the appropriate Certifications in Food Safety, submit a time frame for when these certifications will be obtained.

At the time of re-inspection, it was recommended that all regular food employees obtain at least PIC food handler training (formerly level 1) to ensure staff has basic food safety knowledge to help protect and safeguard public health.

In addition to emailing the training certificates once received, submit a plan of action as to how the facility will come into compliance with the Ohio Uniform Food Safety Code for all outstanding violations observed at the 12/13 re-inspection.
