Health inspectors put Springfield restaurant on risk control plan

Springfield-Greene County Health Department food inspectors put a Springfield restaurant on a risk control plan after an Oct. 21 inspection, according to reports. Ohana Japanese Steakhouse, 310 W. Battlefield Road, had several ready-to-eat, potentially hazardous food items that were not date marked for the third inspection in a row during an Oct. 21 inspection. The restaurant also had crab rangoon with debris on it and salad dressing and crab rangoon that was held past its 7-day discard date. A risk control plan is implemented when an establishment has three of the same priority violations in a row, in an effort to help a restaurant create "a new habit that keeps the food safe and our customers safe," Eric Marcol, program coordinator for SGCHD's environmental services division, told the Springfield News-Leader in 2023 . Issues found during inspections fall into either priority or non-priority violations. Priority violations impact the safety of the food, such as cross-contamination between raw and ready-to-eat food, improper food temperature and poor personal hygiene and employee health. Multiple priority violations can lead to an establishment being shut down. Non-priority violations alone do not directly affect food safety, such as dirty floors, sticky tabletops or outside trash cans
