Warm Shrimp, Improper Food Supplier Spotted By Arlington Health Inspectors

Arlington County health inspectors found violations at 23 of the food establishments they visited between Oct. 1 and 6.

ARLINGTON, VA — Arlington County health inspectors found violations at 23 of the food establishments they visited Oct. 1 through Oct. 6, including a coffee bar that was selling baked goods from a unapproved food supplier.

During an Oct. 2 visit to WAS16 Coffee Bar at 1770 Crystal Drive, an inspector found ham and cheese croissants from Pluma by Bluebird Bakery in Washington, D.C., which doesn't have a wholesale license allowing it to sell to retail food establishments. As such, the bakery was not an approved food source for food retailers in Arlington.

"Food shall be obtained from sources that comply with law," the inspector said, in their report. "Discard these food items and don't accept food from this supplier until they can provide a wholesale licensure."

On the same day, an inspector who visited Chill Zone at 2442 North Harrison St. found cooked shimp that wasn't properly "chilled." The shrimp was being kept in a one-door prep unit in the kitchen at 60 degrees, which was warmer than the proper cold holding temperature of 41 degrees or below.

The shrimp were discarded and the inspector warned the restaurant to ensure that all temperature controlled foods are held at 41 degrees or below.
