The chlorine sanitizer spray in the warewasher was reading at 0 PPM. The third bin of the 3-comp sink was reading at 0 ppm for Quat. It's important that the sanitizing functions are a level that yields sanitation to prevent the growth of bacteria. The sanitizing solution of the 3-comp sink was refreshed and tested for Quat at 400 PPM. The warewasher is scheduled to be repaired the same day as inspection. When the warewasher is repaired, please send a picture of a chlorine test strip reading between 50-100 PPM to shannon.jester@alaska.gov. |

The pizza prep cooler was holding cheese, pizza sauce, and diced chicken at 46 F. It's important to keep foods at 41 F of below to prevent the growth of bacteria. This was corrected on site and the Person in Charge (PIC) turned down the cooler. These foods were observed at 41 F or below after the unit was turned down. I recommended that the facility gets the prep cooler serviced as the fans seemed to have issues circulating the cold air throughout the unit.
