Item No.: 08
Site: Potable Water-Production Records
Violation: Water production records for March 3, 18, 25 and April 1 did not show that a level of 2 ppm and a pH level below 7.8 was reached within 30 minutes of starting the production process. The log listed times that production started on these dates, but no values of the free chlorine residual or pH were given. The first free chlorine and pH values recorded were not until 4 hours after the process began.
Recommendation: Adjust the free halogen residual level to at least 2.0 mg/L (ppm) within 30 minutes of the start of the bunkering and production processes. Maintain accurate records of production and bunkering monitoring aboard for 12 months and ensure these records are available for review during inspections.
Item No.: 08
Site: Food Service General-Chilled Water Lines
Violation: Most of the chilled water lines for the ice machines in the food service operations and in the housekeeping pantries were not uniquely identified.
Recommendation: Uniquely identify all refrigerant brine lines in all galleys, pantries, and cold rooms to prevent cross-connections.
Item No.: 11
Site: Potable Water-Crew Reporting
Violation: A potwash employee had 2 or more diarrhea episodes on March 15th, 16th, & 17th and did not report to medical until 17 March at 1730. Time sheets indicated that this employee worked while symptomatic on these days. Also, a youth counselor at the kids center had 5 episodes of diarrhea beginning at noon on 11 April and did not report until 12 April at 0100. Time sheets indicated that this employee worked on 11 April from 1300 - 1600. It was noted that this employee was isolated only for 24 hours because according to medical staff she is not considered a food worker. When the inspector asked the medical staff if there is any food served at the kids center, the reply was no. However, later during the inspection of the kids center, food safety time control plans were observed for milk and cookies as well as a small food service outlet where light snacks were served to the older aged kids.
Recommendation: Ensure food employees who have conditions or symptoms of diarrhea report these conditions or symptoms to the vessel's medical staff and are restricted from working with exposed food, warewashing, clean equipment, utensils, and linens, and unwrapped single-service and single-use articles. When food employees meet the case definition for AGE, ensure the following actions are taken: (1) isolate in cabin or designated restricted area until symptom-free for a minimum of 48 hours.
Item No.: 13
Site: Provisions-Cheese Room
Violation: During active provisioning, the door to the cheese room was left open inactivating the condenser and fan. Temperatures of just provisioned cheese and creamy butter near the door was measured at 49F and 43F respectfully. A pallet of unattended cheese and other potentially hazardous milk products remained in the doorway to the room instead of being unloaded into the cold room. Staff stated that the cheese and creamy butter were being unloaded from the pallet at the door and had only been there for 30 minutes. Temperatures taken of the cheese on the pallet ranged from 44 - 49F and temperatures taken further back in the cooler away from the open door were below 41F. It wasn't until the inspector mentioned the concerns of leaving PHF items in danger zone temperatures did the crew close the door and move the pallet of cheese to another cold room until staff were available to properly unload the food items. Due to the amount of food in the doorway and no crew members actively removing the cheese off the pallet, it appeared that little priority was given to move the PHF into the cold holding room where proper temperatures could be maintained.
Recommendation: Ensure the supervisor or person in charge of food operations on the vessel monitors that:(5) Employees are observing foods as they are received to determine that they are delivered at the required temperatures and PHF are given priority to be unloaded first.
