Item No.: 08
Site: Potable Water-Food Service Areas
Violation: There were a number of double check valves with atmospheric vents where drain lines were connected to the vents but air gaps were not provided at the end of the lines. This was primarily observed at the beverage stations.
Recommendation: Ensure that air gaps are at least twice the diameter of the delivery fixture opening and a minimum of 3 cm (1 inch). Cut or remove the drains to provide an air gap.
Item No.: 10
Site: Recreational Water Facilities-
Violation: In the swimming pool halogenation records, at 0800, 1200, 1600, and 2000 either "closed", "seamode", or a halogen reading was recorded. When the vessel switched from seamode (flow-through seawater operation) to recirculation mode, it was not clear what time the pool was switched to recirculation mode.
Recommendation: If it occurs during the open hours of the pool, ensure that the time the pool was switched from seamode to recirculation is indicated in the pool records.
Item No.: 17
Site: Food Service General-
Violation: While the letter from MacKnight seafood indicated that all of their seafood was frozen for parasite destruction the letter did not indicate what seafood was supplied to this vessel. Per the chef the vessel received smoked salmon and fresh salmon from this vendor.
Recommendation: Ensure that, if raw, raw-marinated, partially cooked, or marinated-partially cooked fish are served in ready-to-eat form: (1) The person in charge records the freezing temperature and time to which the fish are subjected and retains the records on the vessel for 90 calendar days beyond the time of service or sale of the fish; or (2) If the fish are frozen by a supplier, a written letter from the supplier which specifies the fish species involved and both the temperature to which the fish was frozen and the total time period at that temperature. If the supplier provides any of the same species to the vessel in a fresh state, there shall be some designation on the outer packaging for the parasite-free fish.
