3002 SPENARD RD 101 , ANCHORAGE AK 99503
This was an opening inspection with only minor, non-food violations: missing handwashing signage, a small wall gap, and a door sweep gap—none involve improper food temperatures, contamination, or active pest presence. These are easily fixable maintenance issues rather than signs of ongoing food-safety risk.
A sign or poster that notifies food employees to wash their hands shall be provided at all handwashing sinks used by food employees and shall be clearly visible to food employees. AMC 16.60.170(6-301.14) Effective handwashing is essential for minimizing the likelihood of the hands becoming a vehicle of cross contamination. It is important that handwashing be done only at a properly equipped handwashing facility in order to help ensure that food employees effectively clean their hands. Handwashing sinks are to be conveniently located, always accessible for handwashing, maintained so they provide proper water temperatures and pressure, and equipped with suitable hand cleansers, nail brushes, and disposable towels and waste containers, or hand dryers. It is inappropriate to wash hands in a food preparation sink since this may result in avoidable contamination of the sink and the food prepared therein. **OBSERVED THREE HANDWASHING SINKS, ONE AT THE BAR, ONE IN THE SERVICE AREA, AND ONE IN THE KITCHEN THAT DID NOT HAVE SIGNS OR POSTERS TO NOTIFY FOOD EMPLOYEES TO WASH THEIR HANDS NOR WERE THE SINKS LABELED FOR HANDWASHING ONLY. ENSURE ALL HANDWASHING SINKS ARE LABELED FOR HANDWASHING AS DIRECTED ABOVE.
Floors, floor coverings, walls, wall coverings, and ceilings shall be designed, constructed, and installed so they are smooth and easily cleanable. AMC 16.60.170(6-201.11) **OBSERVED AN OPEN SECTION OF THE WALL AND EXPOSED WOOD NEXT TO THE DOORWAY BETWEEN THE KITCHEN AND THE UTILITY SINK AREA. CLOSE THE OPEN SECTION OF THE WALL AND EXPOSED WOOD IN A MANNER THAT THE INSIDE OF THE WALL IS NOT EXPOSED TO THE KITCHEN. ENSURE THE NEW WALL SURFACE MEETS THE DIRECTIONS ABOVE. FOLLOW THE DIRECTIVE ABOVE.
Outer openings of a food establishment shall be protected against the entry of insects and rodents. AMC 16.60.170(6-202.15) *OBSERVED LIGHT ENTERING FROM A BREAK IN THE DOOR SWEEP AT THE BOTTOM OF FRONT DOOR. REPAIR OR REPLACE THE DOOR SWEEP AT THE FRONT DOOR. ENSURE ALL OPENINGS TO THE OUTSIDE ARE EFFECTIVELY PROTECTED AGAINST THE ENTRANCE OF RODENTS, INSECTS, AND OTHER PESTS BY FOLLOWING THE DIRECTIVE ABOVE.
