Item No.: 08
Site: Potable Water-Tank Maintenance Records
Violation: On 19 March 2011, potable water tanks #3 port and #3 starboard were painted in rusty areas with an approved two part epoxy coating system. There was no statement documenting that the application, drying and curing was done in accordance with the specifications from the manufacturer.
Recommendation: Ensure that interior coatings on potable water tanks are approved for potable water contact, and all manufacturer's recommendations for application, drying, or curing are followed. Ensure written documentation for the coating used and recommendations followed are available for review during inspections.
Item No.: 10
Site: DO NOT USE (whirlpool/spa)-Filter Backwashing Records
Violation: The log form used for whirlpool spa monitoring and maintenance included a statement in the comment box: 'all sand filters backwashed until clear water was visible on the sand filter'. In discussion with the engineer responsible for this maintenance, it was determined that the filter backwash was an automatic process and he did not view the water moving through the filter to see if the water was clear or not at the end of each backwash cycle. The form had this statement each day, so it appeared the wording was simply part of the forms contents rather than a record of what was actually done.
Recommendation: Ensure that granular filters are backwashed at least daily. Repeat backwashing, if necessary, until the water viewed through the sight glass or discharge point is clean flowing. Ensure a staff member physically observes the backwashing to verify clean flow and the record of this is accurate.
Item No.: 16
Site: Galley-Dessert Counter
Violation: One tray of non-UHT milk containers that was on time control was not identified to indicate its discard time. No other food items were stored in the surrounding areas; therefore, there was no assurance if this tray was left in this area from the previous service. The staff stated that the tray was recently placed in the area for the lunch service and was not a left over from the breakfast service.
Recommendation: If time only, rather than time in conjunction with temperature, is used as the public health control for a working supply of potentially hazardous food before cooking, or for ready-to-eat potentially hazardous food that is displayed or held for service for immediate consumption, ensure that (1) The food is marked or otherwise identified to indicate the time that is 4 hours past the point in time when the food is removed from temperature control; (2) The food is cooked and served, served if ready-to-eat, or discarded, within 4 hours from the time when the food is removed from temperature control; and (3) The food in unmarked containers or packages or marked to exceed a 4 hour limit is discarded.
Item No.: 19
Site: Galley-Walk-In Refrigerator #11-10
Violation: The lids of three hotel pans containing olives had some water pooled on top. This water could potentially drip inside the pans and on foods while lifting the lids during handling.
