Item No.: 13
Site: Food Service General-
Violation: There were many crew knowledge issues that were observed throughout the day including: 1) Crew were not knowledgeable about which dishwasher spray arm was the sanitizing final rinse spray arm. The arm was in-use and the incorrect spray temperature was checked for final rinse. The final rinse arm did not provide a proper spray pattern. The inspector questioned various crew personnel present and the correct spray arm was not identified until the technical staff retrieved the manufacturer specifications quite some time later. The spray pattern was not corrected until the inspector returned to the area with technical staff. 2) Multiple potentially hazardous foods (PHF) were out of temperature in the dairy store. Upon entering the store, crew were not alarmed of the warm temperature of the unit until the inspectors measured PHF food in the danger zone. Both inspectors requested crew keep the doors shut because crew were leaving the doors to the dairy store open. Although the vessel was taking on provisions during the day, when the inspector approached the dairy store, there was no active provisioning taking place in the store. Crew began discarding food items and the crew requested the inspection continue on to another area. The inspector inquired about what food would be discarded, and the crew stated the food that had been identified by the inspector would be discarded. At this point, the inspector had only measured the temperature of a few different food products (not all the PHF products) and so the inspectors continued to take the temperatures of other PHF products. One inspector followed the crew to ensure the food was being discarded. 3) There were many dishwasher wash spray nozzles that were clogged throughout food and beverage areas. Some had recently been in use and some had been sitting soiled overnight. Crew should not be operating soiled dishwash machines to sanitize equipment and utensils, and they should not be sitting soiled. A dishwash machine was taken out of service but was extremely soiled with debris in the wash nozzles and in the wash tanks when it was in use. 4) A passenger placed an eaten apple core on the service counter outside of the deli on the lido buffet. No crew at the deli counter or the crew standing with the inspector noted this deficiency or removed this core from the service counter. The inspector waited in the area with multiple crewmembers watching the area. The inspector moved to allow the crew members to stand in the position where she had been observing the eaten apple core on the counter. The crewmembers did not take any action to correct the situation. No crew monitors in the area or the crew behind the deli counter took any action. The passenger noticed the inspector watching the area and removed the apple core. The crew did not acknowledge the apple core. The inspector and crew discussed the issue and the inspector advised crew to sanitize this area.
Recommendation: Because of the risks for foodborne illness inherent to the food operation, ensure the supervisor or person in charge of food operations on the vessel demonstrates to VSP - during inspections and on request - knowledge of foodborne disease prevention, application of the Hazard Analysis Critical Point principles, and the food-safety guidelines in this manual. Ensure that the person in charge demonstrates this knowledge: (1) By compliance with these guidelines; and (3) By responding correctly to the inspector's questions as they relate to the specific food operation. Ensure that the areas of knowledge include: (12) Identifying critical-control points in the operation from purchasing through service that when not controlled may contribute to the transmission of foodborne illness and explaining steps taken to ensure the points are controlled in accordance with the guidelines in this manual. Ensure the supervisor or person in charge of food operations on the vessel monitors that: (9) Employees are properly sanitizing cleaned multiuse equipment and utensils before they are reused;

Item No.: 22
Site: Galley-Scullery
Violation: Upon inspection of the flight-type conveyor dishwash machine, crew stated that the spray arm closest to the clean end of the dishwasher was not the final rinse spray, but rather another wash or rinse arm. Crew stated the second arm back from the clean end was the final rinse spray, which was the spray arm that they tested to measure the final rinse temperature. The spray pattern of the arm closest to the clean end of the dishwasher was spraying straight down vertically and did not create a fan-like pattern. The inspector asked for the manufacturer's technical specification information for the machine in order to verify what the crew was explaining. The inspectors continued and completed their inspection of the main galley before the technical specifications of the machine were provided. After consultation with the technical crew as they read the machine's manufacturer specifications, it was confirmed that the spray arm closest to the clean end of the machine was indeed the final rinse spray (not the second arm as previously noted by crew). In addition, as noted previously, the spray pattern was not fan-like and ineffective. Crew also noted that the final rinse spray was recirculated to feed the previous spray arm. The machine was taken out of service to correct the spray pattern and measure the final rinse temperature at the plate surface. The plates that recently went through the machine were sent to be re-washed. However, it was unknown to the inspector, and crew as to how long the machine was in service while the final rinse spray pattern was not fan-like and ineffective. It was agreed upon that it had been at least as long as the inspectors had been in the main galley. Technical staff replaced the nozzles to correct the issue.
Recommendation: Maintain warewashing equipment in good repair and proper adjustment, including: (1) warewashing equipment is maintained in a state of repair and condition that meets the standards of the materials, design, and construction of these guidelines; (2) water pressure and water temperature-measuring devices are maintained in good repair and accurate within the intended range of use. Ensure the final rinse spray creates a fan-like patter that is effective in sanitizing all dishes that pass through the machine.
