Item No.: 08
Site: Potable Water-Production Logs

Item No.: 08
Site: Potable Water-
Violation: Eight reduced pressure assembly backflow prevention devices were installed in May 2009. There was no documentation that these devices were tested after installation. According to the records and the staff, only shut-off valve #2 was tested on each device. The vessel was not conducting all of the tests based on the manufacturer's recommendations. This was a repeat item from the previous inspection.
Recommendation: Ensure that reduced pressure assembly backflow prevention devices are tested after installation and then annually. Ensure that the manufacturer's instructions are followed for testing the devices. Ensure that backflow prevention devices requiring testing, for example reduced pressure backflow preventer and double check valves with test cocks, are inspected and tested with a test kit at least annually and that the test results showing the pressure differences on both sides of the valves are maintained for each device.
Item No.: 07
Site: Potable Water-
Violation: There was no reduced pressure assembly backflow prevention device or air gap at the connection between the potable water and technical water systems.
Recommendation: Ensure that the potable water system is protected against backflow or other contamination by backflow preventers or air gaps.
Item No.: 19
Site: Pantry-Deck 6 Housekeeping
Violation: The bottom shelves of the storage cabinet were flush with the deck. Bottles of water stored on these shelves were less than 6 inches above the deck.
Recommendation: Ensure that food is protected from contamination by storing the food: (1) In a clean, dry location; (2) Where it is not exposed to splash, dust, or other contamination; and (3) At least 15 centimeters (6 inches) above the deck.
Item No.: 25
Site: Pantry-Deck 6 Housekeeping
Violation: A wet wiping cloth was draped over the side of a sanitizing bucket.
Recommendation: Ensure that wet wiping cloths are stored fully submerged in the sanitizing bucket.
Item No.: 33

Item No.: 21
Site: Buffet-Officer's Mess
Violation: There was an unsealed penetration in the back of the bain marie technical compartment.
Recommendation: Ensure that nonfood-contact surfaces are free of unnecessary ledges, projections, and crevices, and designed and constructed to allow easy cleaning and to facilitate maintenance.
Item No.: 33
Site: Buffet-Crew Mess
Violation: There was a dent in the bulkhead at the end of the buffet and the stainless steel was split. The insulation material behind the bulkhead was exposed.
Recommendation: Ensure that decks, bulkheads, and deckheads in food preparation, warewashing, pantries, and storage areas, are maintained in good repair. Ensure that decks, bulkheads, and deckheads in food preparation, warewashing, pantries, and storage areas are constructed and maintained for easy cleaning.
Item No.: 22
Site: Galley-Dishwash
Violation: The temperature gauge for the final sanitizing rinse read 160°F and the plate surface was measured at 166°F, indicating that the temperature gauge was not accurate. The pressure gauge for the final sanitizing rinse indicated 30 psi and the data plate stated 20 psi +/- 5 for the range of use. It was unclear if the pressure was too high or the gauge was not accurate.
Recommendation: Ensure that the temperature and pressure gauges for the sanitizing rinse on the dishwash machine are accurate. Ensure that the sanitizing rinse pressure is within the range of use as specified by the manufacturer.
Item No.: 21
Site: Galley-Hot Galley
Violation: There was a seam between the profile strip and the tilting kettle frame to the left of the kettle. There was a gap between the top, front edge of the frame and the bulkhead. There was also a hole on the front, left side of the frame where a knob or dial had been removed.
Recommendation: Ensure that nonfood-contact surfaces are free of unnecessary ledges, projections, and crevices, and designed and constructed to allow easy cleaning and to facilitate maintenance.
Item No.: 29
Site: Galley-Dishwash Soiled Drop-Off
Violation: There was no hot water at the two handwash stations because the hot water had been turned off at the valve below the stations. This was corrected.
Recommendation: Ensure that handwashing sinks are equipped to provide water at a temperature of at least 43°C (110°F) through a mixing valve or combination faucet. For handwash sinks with electronic sensors, where the user cannot make temperature adjustments, ensure that the temperature provided to the user does not exceed 52°C (125°F).
Item No.: 23
Site: Galley-Dishwash
Violation: The wash temperature gauge indicated less than 130°F. The rinse temperature gauge indicated less than 150°F and the tank temperature was measured at 133°F. According to the manufacturer's data plate, the wash temperature should be a minimum of 150° and the rinse should be a minimum of 160°F. The unit was in use and the final sanitizing rinse plate surface temperature was measured at 166°F.
Recommendation: Ensure that the temperature of the wash solution in spray type warewashers that use hot water to sanitize is not less than: (1) For a stationary-rack, single-temperature machine, 74°C (165°F); (2) For a stationary-rack, dual-temperature machine, 66°C (150°F); (3) For a single-tank, conveyor, dual-temperature machine, 71°C (160°F); or (4) For a multitank, conveyor, multitemperature machine, 66°C (150°F). Ensure that the warewash machine is operated according to the specifications on the manufacturer's data plate.
Item No.: 21
Site: Food Service General-Technical Compartments
Violation: In several undercounter refrigeration technical compartments in the galleys, buffets and bars, the lagging was split along the adhesive seam or was otherwise damaged.
