Violation: The mineralizer backwash discharge line and the technical water filling were both protected by air gaps but they were not listed on the program.
Recommendation: Ensure the cross-connection control program includes at a minimum: a complete listing of cross-connections and the backflow prevention method or device for each, so there is a match to the plumbing system component and location. Include air gaps on the listing. Ensure a schedule for inspection frequency is set. Maintain a log documenting the inspection and maintenance in written or electronic form, and ensure it is available for review during inspections.
Item No.: 08

It was discussed that a statement on the time control plan indicating that food removed from temperature control and placed on time control would be discarded at the end of service and the location of foods on time control would be sufficient.
Recommendation: Maintain a written time control plan(s) that ensures compliance with these guidelines on the vessel and make it available for review during inspections. Post a time control plan at each outlet where time control is used. Ensure plan(s): (1) Includes set-up and discard times for each outlet.
