Project: New Food Service Establishment
Subject: Trini's Pantry

Dear Trini:
After reviewing your plans with the Rules and Regulations of the State Board of Health, and with the
policies of the Snohomish County Health Department, your plans for Trini's Pantry have been
approved. The approval was based upon the plans, menu, and food flows submitted 02/29/2024,
07/24/2024. Any changes to the plans, menu, and food flows without preapproval from the Health
Department will void this approval.
A preoperational inspection is required prior to operating permit issuance and approval to open
for business. At the time of inspection the construction of the food service establishment must be
complete and all equipment must be in place and in proper operating condition. Incomplete construction
or equipment operation will result in a $215.00 re -inspection fee. Contact the Food Program office a
minimum of 2 weeks in advance to schedule an appointment for the preoperational inspection. Please
review the following requirements and conditions of operation before scheduling:
1. Scope of project: New food service establishment serving All American Breakfast.
2. No food storage or preparation is allowed in the establishment prior to the preoperational inspection
and approval to open for business.
3. If deficiencies are observed with your operation that may cause an unnecessary risk to public
health, you may be required to comply with corrective actions by a given due date, regardless of
any approval previously given. This includes, but is not limited to, substitutions or additions to
refrigeration, limiting your menu, or modifying your food handling processes.
4. Any significant changes to the methods of food preparation, style of service, or to the layout of the
facility (e.g. removing/adding sinks) will require prior approval from the Snohomish County Health
Department.
5. Food handling practices, standard procedures and food safety knowledge will be assessed during
subsequent routine inspections. It is the business owner's responsibility to ensure compliance of all
food workers and food handling procedures with the provisions of WAC 246-215 and the policies of
the Snohomish County Health Department
6. Refrigerated, ready -to -eat, Time/Temperature Control for Safety (TCS) foods prepared and held in
a food establishment for more than 24 hours must be clearly marked to indicate the date or day by
which the food must be consumed on the premises, sold, or discarded, when held at a at a
temperature of 41 F or less for a maximum of 7 days. The day of preparation must be counted as
day one.
7. As of March 1, 2023, food establishments must have at least one certified food protection manager
(CFPM) on staff as evidenced by a valid certificate available from an accredited program (AAA
Food Handler, ServSafe, Learn2Serve, etc.). The certificate must be available upon request. If the
CFPM leaves employment for any reason, the food establishment must have another CFPM on
staff within 60 days.

8. Three -compartment sinks must have rounded corners and integral drainboards at both ends. The
drainboards of the three -compartment sink must be sloped to the basins. The basins of the three -
compartment sink must be large enough to fit the largest item needing to be washed.
9. Special food processing methods as defined by the Washington State Retail Food Code (WAC 246-
215.03535) are not permitted at this time. Changes to methods of food handling that fall under
these special processes will require prior review and approval of a HACCP plan with the Snohomish
County Health Department.
10. All food service equipment, both new and used, must be listed by the National Sanitation
Foundation (NSF) or equivalent for its intended use.
11. Plumbing must meet state and local codes.
12. The ventilation system shall be installed and operated to meet applicable building, mechanical, and
fire codes.
After you have passed your preoperational inspection, the annual operating permit application and all
fees must be received by Snohomish County Health Department prior to opening for business. This
facility will be classified as a High Risk food establishment with 51-150 seats.
Your application for a food service establishment permit from the Snohomish County Health
Department may be approved during pre -operational inspection. However, it is the responsibility of
the food service establishment operator/owner to obtain all necessary permits and approvals
from all applicable agencies. Operating the establishment without required permits or approvals may
subject the operator/owner to legal action by the appropriate agencies. If the establishment is opened
without the Snohomish County Health Department permit issuance, it may be subject to closure and a
double permit fee may be charged.
Changes or additions to the approved plans or equipment require pre -approval from the Snohomish
County Health Department prior to implementation of the changes.
A copy of the Snohomish County Health Department Appeals procedure is available upon
request. An administrative appeal must be initiated with 21 days from the date of this letter.
Please contact me if you have any questions.
