minorCode K06Handwashing

Official wording

Adequate handwash facilities supplied, accessible

Inspector’s notes

In the restroom, observed roll of paper towels at the handwash sink is not properly stored in a dispenser. [CA] Paper towels shall be securely stored in a dispenser to prevent contamination.

In plain English

Staff were not washing their hands when required, or a handwashing sink was blocked, missing soap or paper towels, or used for something else. Hands are one of the most common ways germs reach food.

Official wording

No rodents, insects, birds, or animals

Inspector’s notes

Observed live cats and cat equipment in the back area. No food is stored in this area. [CA] No live animals may be allowed in a food facility.

In plain English

The inspector found mice, rats, cockroaches, flies, or evidence of them (like droppings) inside the business, or conditions that could attract them. Pests can spread bacteria to food and surfaces, so this is treated as one of the more serious findings.

A facility found to be in continued operation without a permit may incur a penalty of three (3) times the operating permit fee, and fee(s) for re-inspection(s) charged at the current hourly rate approved by the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors.
