Several of the menu items contain a soft boiled or fried egg as an ingredient. Because the egg in these dishes is undercooked, a consumer advisory must be posted informing the consumer that they increase their risk of foodborne illness by eating undercooked foods. The consumer advisory should be linked with an asterisk or symbol to the items that have the undercooked food. Owner will add the advisory to her menu, and email a photo of the menu to heidi.isernhagen@alaska.gov. |

Rice, cooling from the previous day, was observed at 46F indicating that it had not been cooled properly. An excessive time for cooling potentially hazardous foods has been consistently identified as one of the leading contributing factors to foodborne illness. When cooling meat, soup, sauces and gravy, you can use shallow 2-inch metal pans, an ice bath, ice wand, or put the item in the freezer. For shallow pan cooling quickly put the hot food in shallow metal pans that are wide with low sides and no more than 2 inches deep. Cooling should go as follows: Go from 135°F to 70°F within 2 hours, then from 70°F to 41°F in 4 additional hours. Cool as fast as possible to below 41º F. Do not cover the food until it has cooled to 41º F in the refrigerator. Owner discarded the rice. We discussed cooling procedures and methods. A handout on cooling was provided. Taking temperatures during the cooling process will help to verify that procedures and equipment are working properly. Owner will monitor her cooling procedure to make sure food is being cooled properly. She will make sure all staff are aware of how to properly cool food. |

Sanitizer was not observed on-site during the inspection. Operator indicated they do clean dishes frequently throughout the day, however they do not sanitize using an approved sanitizer. Appropriate wash, rinse, and sanitize steps must be completed for food contact surfaces to destroy pathogens and prevent cross contamination. The operator agreed to obtain a sanitizer today. We will conduct a follow-up inspection, on-site June 2, 2023 to ensure sanitizer is available and being used on food contact surfaces. The operator agreed to obtain test strips for the sanitizer as well. |
