Springfield Restaurant Placed on Risk Control Plan Due to Dish Machine Issues
A Springfield restaurant has been put on a risk control plan to address a broken dish machine, according to a Springfield-Greene County Health Department food inspection report.
For the third inspection in a row, Thai Palace at 3250 E. Battlefield Road did not have any bleach in its dish machine, according to a June 2 routine inspection. Though the staff primed the machine, no bleach was detected. A risk control plan was put in place, education given and a re-inspection date was set. Until the dish machine is fixed, staff will use the wash-rinse-sanitize method in the three-vat sink.
A risk control plan is implemented when a place has three of the same priority violations in a row, in an effort to help a restaurant create "a new habit that keeps the food safe and our customers safe," program coordinator Eric Marcol told the News-Leader .
Issues found during inspections fall into either priority or non-priority violations. Priority violations impact the safety of the food, such as cross-contamination between raw and ready-to-eat food, improper food temperature and poor personal hygiene and employee health. Multiple priority violations can lead to an establishment being shut down. Non-priority violations alone do not directly affect food safety, such as dirty floors, sticky tabletops or outside trash cans not being covered.
Food inspections take place one to three times a year, depending on the type of food served, the population served, difficulty of food preparation and past history. Restaurants preparing food from raw ingredients are inspected more often "than convenience stores that serve only non-potentially hazardous foods, such as popcorn and soda," according to the Springfield-Greene County Health Department .
Each report identifies what was happening at the establishment at that time. Consumers who want to know whether a violation is a one-time thing or a pattern are encouraged to refer to previous reports .
