The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture conducted an unannounced retail food inspection on 4/23/2020. As a result of that inspection, and due to the severity of the specific violations Domino’s Pizza was cited as being, “Out of Compliance” with Pennsylvania food safety regulations. During this inspection a total of 10 violations were found.
The inspector made the following comments in support of the violations found during the inspection:
- Observed inside walk-in-cooler door & floor with a heavy accumulation of black filth.
- Walk-in-condensor vents were observed with a heavy accumulation of black filth and dust.
- Food employees eating in pizza prep station as evidenced by observed partially consumed brownies in the prep area.
- Food employees observed throughout facility, not wearing proper hair restraints, such as beard covers.
- Food dispensing utensil in bulk corn meal container observed stored in the food and not with handle above the top of the food and the container.
- Trash receptacles within the ware wash area that are not in immediate use are not covered properly.
- 2 of 2 food employee were observed not follow proper handwashing procedure. Food employee did not wash hands for adequate amount of time of at least 20 seconds.
- Temperature measuring device for ensuring proper temperature of equipment is not available or readily accessible in reach in cooler equipment of the pizza prep area.
- The Person in Charge does not have adequate knowledge of food safety in this food facility as evidenced by this non-compliant inspection.
- Observed clean food equipment and/or utensils in warewash storage area, stored wet in a manner that does not allow for draining and/or air drying (wet nesting).*
- New food facility in operation more than 90 days and has not employed a certified food employee as required.
*Wet nesting refers to the practice of placing two recently-washed items together in a nested fashion, preventing proper airflow. In a moist, dark, low-air environment, unseen bacteria grows unchecked, and suddenly that mixing bowl is a biological incident waiting to happen. Even at high temperatures, the food or ingredients you place on that wet-nested kitchen equipment can act as an accidental insulator, or even as fuel for further bacterial growth.
