Coconuts Island Grill, Centralia 25/5/30

Both basins of the two-compartment sink in the bar were blocked with strainers. All hand sinks must be kept clear and accessible at all times. This was corrected. (10 red)

Most cold holding was very good. However, several items were between 42 and 47 F due either to a lack of refrigeration  or overstocking in the prep cooler. These items were either discarded or moved to cool.(10 red)



Dishwasher was not sanitizing. Please manually sanitize until corrected. Because this dishwasher has had sanitizing issues in the past, please test daily. (5 blue)

Several food workers did not have valid food worker cards. Please correct within one week and develop procedures to ensure all employees maintain valid cards. Please provide copies to the Health Department. (5 red)

Inspection: Oct. 9

Editor’s note: These figures are derived from inspections conducted by the Lewis County Public Health Department’s Food Safety Program.

Red violations are those most likely to cause foodborne illness and must be corrected at the time of inspection. Blue violations relate to overall cleanliness and operational conditions and must be corrected by established deadlines or by the next routine inspection.

Any establishment receiving 40 red points or any red point item repeated within an 18 month period is considered a high risk and must be reinspected. An establishment that receives 75 red points or 100 total points (red and blue) on a routine inspection or 40 red points on a repeat inspection will have their food establishment permit suspended.
