Failed findings

  • Location Accessiblecritical
    Inspector note: Discontinue the storage of equipment within the hand sink. A circular cutting board was observed within the hand sink. The cutting board should have been stored on the food preparation table or within one of the three-basin sinks.
    code 31-5-204/05.11*** · critical food-safety factorstatus: Fail
  • Food Protection
    Inspector note: Along the left side of the walk-in several white trays were observed on the top shelf. A liquid was observed within each tray. The liquid should be drained and the tray cleaned and sanitized to eliminate the risk that the liquid might drain into the food bins below. The staff were observed to be cutting pork cleaning various chicken parts (within the three-basin sink bays and an adjacent work surface) and cutting green onions. Although all of the food will be cooked to 165 F or above it is a better and less risky practice to complete one or two tasks before starting another. It is also a better practice to prepare the vegetables before preparing meat.
