Inspector’s notes
Couple of live cockroaches were observed on the Taqueria's steam table. A live one was also observed on the restroom's handwash station. In addition to these, multiple dead cockroaches were observed on the floor below the counters and below the warewash sink located below the exhaust hood. [CA] Eliminate all insects/rodents from the facility by a legal method. Until the live cockroaches are all eliminated and verified by a district inspector, both the Taqueria and the grocery store shall remain closed. Please contact the district inspector for a follow-up inspection. During a follow-up inspection, no live or dead vermin, indication of the dropping, gnawing, or rat rub marking should be observed. The owner of the facility must provide a pest control company report which indicate what interventions were conducted and observed violations and recommendations. The structural issues including the cracks, crevices, and gaps between the wall and the sinks and the preparation areqa and the walls must be caulk or sealed. To prevent vermin hiding and breading and easy cleaning of the floor area, all food products must remove from the floor and stored on shelves or dunnage racks. Any operational and structural issues that contribute to the vermin infestation must also be addressed.
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.
