Date: Sept. 15, 2020

Type: Follow-up

Violations:

--Observed a case of raw chicken stored directly on the floor in meat cutting area, rather than six inches off of the floor as required.

--The city of Lebanon public safety department issued a warning letter outlining numerous food safety concerns to the owners of ideal food basket on May 30, 2019. On June 5, 2019, the owners provided written corrective actions which included their commitment for proper training of employees and daily monitoring of temperatures. Temperature charts in both the meat cutting room and the deli/food prep area have not been checked since Sept. 9, 2020. Employees in the meat cutting room were using a shopping cart which was visibly not clean to hold raw chicken which was going to be packaged for sale. This shows a lack of employee training and a lack of proper oversight. Chicken was discarded.

--Raw ground poultry (turkey) was stored above other types of ground meat and mechanically tenderized meat was stored over whole cuts of meat. Corrected.

--The hand-washing sink for employees in the deli/bakery/hot food prep area was out of service during a busy time because an employee disassembled the drain lines to clean the grease trap. When advised of the fact that the sink was unusable and that the task creates a microbiological hazard, the employee stopped the task and reassembled the drain lines. This task should be completed when the area is not in use.

--Fresh fish was dated 9/25/20 and 11/09/20; other fish was not dated and there is no system in place to know how long fresh fish is in the display case.

--A plastic shopping cart that was visibly not clean, was being used as a food contact surface for raw chicken that was to be packaged for sale. Chicken was discarded.
