Violation:
A pan of sliced tomatoes with a 4-hour time control discard label was stored in the walk-in refrigerator. The discard time on the label was 9:45 am and the inspection team was in the area at 10 am. The tomatoes were immediately discarded. In addition, the walk-in refrigerator was a temperature control unit, not a time control unit.
|
|
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 the food (4) Is discarded within 4 hours of placement on time control. 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. Ensure plan(s): (2) List refrigeration and hot holding units (compartments and cabinets) on time control (the physical units must also be labeled as such).

Galley-Dishwash Area
|
|
Violation:
A small amount of condensate was collected in a few areas on the deckhead above the in-use flight-type conveyor dishwash machine. Condensate was also collected along the edges of the exhaust hood around the flight-type dishwash machine and was observed dripping to the deck and onto soiled dishes. Finally, condensate was dripping from the deckhead between the two dishwash machines to the deck below. Staff stated that a repair plan for this area was under development. No clean items were impacted.
|
|
Recommendation:
Ensure exhaust ventilation hood systems in food preparation and warewashing areas--including components such as hoods, fans, guards, and ducting--are designed to prevent grease or condensation from draining or dripping onto food, equipment, utensils, linens, and single-service and single-use articles. Ensure ventilation hood systems and devices are sufficient in number and capacity to prevent grease or condensation from collecting on bulkheads and deckheads.

|
|
Violation:
A crew member (nonfood handler) reported to the medical center on 21 August after experiencing one episode of diarrhea and was deemed a nonreportable case. No underlying illness was noted and antidiarrheal medication was dispensed. The medical file did not have any information recorded about if these symptoms were above normal for the individual.

Potable Water-Testable Backflow Prevention Devices
|
|
Violation:
The annual backflow prevention tests conducted in April 2015 for at least 15 reduced pressure assemblies were incomplete. The log for the test results had a separate column for Test 1, Test 2, Test 3, and Test 4, but test results were only listed under Test 1 and Test 2. Upon review of the manufacturer's recommendations for the testing procedure it was determined most of the devices required 3 test values, and some devices even required 4 test values.
|
|
Recommendation:
Retain the inspection and test results for backflow prevention devices for at least 12 months and ensure they are available for review during inspections. Ensure all test results are recorded.

Violation:
The entire potable water distribution system was hyperchlorinated after the March 2015 drydock with 200 ppm chlorine for 2 hours according to the corporate policy/procedure. This was not an emergency situation and this alternative disinfection procedure had not been submitted to or accepted by VSP.
|
|
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.

Potable Water-Pipe Striping
|
|
Violation:
The permeate water line from the reverse osmosis up to the chlorine injection point was not striped blue/gray/blue to indicate permeate water. The permeate water line directly before and after the mineralizer was striped blue for indicating potable water, but this was before the chlorination point.
|
|
Recommendation:
Stripe or paint potable water lines either in accordance with ISO 14726 (blue/green/blue) or blue only. Stripe or paint distillate and permeate lines directed to the potable water system in accordance with ISO 14726 (blue/gray/blue). Ensure no other lines have the above color designations. Stripe or paint these lines at 5 meters (15 feet) intervals and on each side of partitions, decks, and bulkheads, except where decor would be marred by such markings, including potable water supply lines in technical lockers. Do not stripe or paint potable water lines after reduced pressure assemblies as potable water. Uniquely identify all refrigerant brine lines in all galleys, pantries, and cold rooms to prevent cross-connections.
