Were the packaging to have any holes or tears the lettuce could be contaminated with soil from the floor. A bag containing lettuce was set on top of several containers of cut vegetables in the flip top unit located opposite the wok station. If the exterior of the bag was contaminated (were it to have been stored on the floor) the soil on the bag could contaminate the vegetables.

When was Thai Place last inspected?
Thai Place has 8 inspections on record going back to October 14, 2008.
Boston reports inspections as a pass or a fail, with no score and no letter. What separates a bad fail from a trivial one is the violation severity ladder: a single star is a minor issue, two stars is more serious, and three stars marks a critical foodborne-illness risk factor โ temperature abuse, bad handwashing, cross-contamination. A restaurant can fail on paperwork alone, which is not the same as failing on food safety. Cooked splits Boston fails accordingly: a fail with a three-star violation reads cooked, a fail on minor items only reads mid.
