Thurston County Public Health & Social Services conducts routine kitchen inspections for all retail food establishments in the county.  If you are interested in inspection reports from previous years, please contact Thurston County Public Health & Social Services with the name and address of the establishment. Read on to learn more about what our inspection reports mean.

Points Violation Detail

There are 50 food safety violations in two types: red or blue. Red violations are high risk factors that contribute directly to foodborne illness. Blue violations are low risk factors defined as good retail practices. Violations worth higher numbers of points are more likely to lead to foodborne illness. 

Examples of red violations include: 

  • Food found not hot enough must be reconditioned.
  • A refrigerator that is not cold enough must have its thermostat adjusted or be emptied and fixed before being used again, depending on its temperature.
  • A hand wash sink that is full of dishes, or is out of soap or paper towels, must be cleared or restocked.

Examples of blue violations include:

  • Damaged floor that needs to be replaced because it is hard to keep clean and may need to be repaired within six months.
  • Grease and food accumulation on the floor underneath the cook line needs to be cleaned up within seven days.

Abbreviations and Terms

3-comp - Three compartment sink; used to wash/rinse/sanitize dishes

BHC - Bare hand contact

CH - Cold hold (i.e., refrigeration)

Commissary - an approved commercial kitchen used to prepare and store food, usually for food trucks or caterers.

FW - Food workers or employees of the food establishment

FWC – Food worker card; all food establishment employees must have a valid food worker card.

HH - Hot hold

HW - Hand wash

PIC - Person in charge

PPM - Parts per million; measurement of concentration

RTE - Ready-to-eat; food that will not be further cooked before serving.

TCS - Time/temperature control for safety (food) (previously PHF); food that requires time or temperature control for safety to limit pathogenic growth or toxin formation. These foods must be kept hot above 135˚F, cold below 41˚F, or thrown away 4 hours after leaving temperature control. 

Refrigerators

Commercial refrigerators are designed and built to survive the constant opening and closing that happens in a restaurant kitchen. Their compressors are built to keep food below 41˚F and their doors, gaskets, shelves are also built to be easily cleanable. 

  • Merchandiser – These refrigerators are designed for unopened cans and bottles of beverages or other unopened single-serve products. They are not designed to be working refrigerators used in commercial kitchens. They are not easily cleanable or designed to withstand frequent opening and closing.
  • Home-style – These refrigerators are not acceptable at food establishments. Although much less expensive than commercial units, they tend not to last too long and are not reliable for keeping cold temperatures under normal commercial conditions.
  • Prep-cooler, prep-table, prep-case – These are terms for under-counter refrigerators that also have a refrigerated top with bins and a cover to keep cold ingredients handy for making salads, sandwiches, and the like.
Sinks

Restaurants need to have at least three different types of sinks. They each have specific purposes and should not be used for other tasks.

  • Hand wash sink: The most important sink for food safety is a hand wash sink. A hand wash sink should be within 25 feet of any food preparation area. If the kitchen is larger, more than one may be needed. Hand wash sinks must always be available to be used and supplied with warm water, soap, and disposable towels.
  • Three-compartment sink: The three-compartment sink has three basins for the washing, rinsing, and sanitizing dishes and utensils. Restaurants may also have commercial dishwashers to make washing easier, but the three-compartment sink is required.
  • Produce sink/prep sink: The produce or "prep" sink is used to rinse fruits or produce and to thaw or rinse raw meats. This sink must be kept clean and sanitized between uses so that raw meat juice does not end up on the lettuce or other RTE foods.
  • Mop sink: The mop sink can look like a utility sink or be on the floor with a raised sill around it. The mop sink can be used for mop bucket dumping, mop head rinsing, etc.

What We Do with Inspection Information

Re-Inspections
If the violation point total exceeds either 45 red points or 65 total points, a re-inspection will occur. A re-inspection incurs an additional fee and when the inspector returns, they confirm that any remaining red point violations have been corrected. Notes made during the re-inspection are shown next to the original inspection.

Solving Problems
Thurston County Public Health and Social Services aims to correct violations through education and to work with the food operator to make sure they have the proper resources to serve safe food. Violations are fixed more quickly, and solutions stay in place longer if the person in charge understands the reasons behind the regulations. If violations are not fixed, further enforcement action may include additional visits (and more fees), an administrative hearing, or being closed until the problem is fixed.
