Site:
Potable Water-Pipe Disinfection
|
|
Violation:
On 7 May, potable water pipes were added due to the rerouting of the potable water pipes from a construction project. The sanitation records indicated the pipes were disinfected at a concentration of 200 ppm for one hour. The protocol, last revised 14 May, stated pipes were to be disinfected at 200 ppm for one hour.
|
|
Recommendation:
Disinfect after potential contamination by increasing the free residual halogen to at least 50 mg/L (ppm) throughout the affected area and maintain this concentration for 4 hours or by way of another procedure submitted to and accepted by VSP.

|
Recommendation:
Flush the disinfected parts of the system with potable water or otherwise dechlorinate until the free residual halogen is less than or equal to 5.00 mg/L (ppm). Document the free halogen test result.

|
|
Recommendation:
Ensure the large containers are listed in the time control plan with the other holding units where time only as a public health control takes place. 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.

Recommendation:
Verify with the manufacturer if the creamers require refrigeration for food safety. If they do require refrigeration for public health reasons, the creamer container should be labeled with the four hour discard time. 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 the food (3) Is marked or otherwise identified to indicate the time 4 hours past the point in time when the food is removed from temperature control (if the time between service set-up and closing is greater than 4 hours.
