• Little Caesar’s, 1334 Rombach Ave., Wilmington. Aug. 3. Critical: Pizza sauce on prep table is 49°F (must be kept cold at 41°F or colder). Time-holding procedures are not being followed. Stickers for cooked pizzas don’t have military times. At last inspection when I called general manager Ron, he said that Little Caesar’s had updated those procedures. New procedures were to be submitted to our office and also posted in facility. No procedures have been submitted to Health Department and no new procedures posted in the facility. Timers on pre-made pizzas holding at room temperature are not working on one cart; other cart timers have numbers working, however no employee knows what they mean or how to use timers. Pizzas and bread in hot-holding units — asked employee to scan to show me time, and 4 items scanned that they had been in warmer too long. Would like for either GM Ron or Carrie to call Health Department in morning to discuss the holding issues. Also in walk-in cooler several trays of pizza dough are not dated. Chicken prepped in cooler prepped July 27, expires Aug. 4 — that is 9 days. Must be used or discarded within 7 days (must include day prepped).

No verification available that any employee is manager certified in food safety. Floor in dough room is dirty and there were gnats.

One violation was corrected. Thank you.
