Inspector’s notes

INSTRUCTED TO PROVIDE PROPER LABELS FOR ALL FOODS OUT OF THE ORIGINAL PACKAGING.
In plain English
Food came from an unapproved source, was missing required date marks or labels, or was past its use-by date. Knowing where food came from and how old it is helps prevent illness.

OBSERVED ABOUT 30 RODENT DROPPINGS IN THE BASIN OF THE UTILITY SINK THAT IS LOCATED IN THE REAR, ABOUT 30 RODENT DROPPINGS IN THE FAR RIGHT CORNER UNDER THE 3 COMPARTMENT SINK, ABOUT 30 RODENT DROPPINGS ON THE DRY STORAGE SHELVES ON TOP OF THE CONTAINERS STORED ON THE SHELVES, ABOUT 20 RODENT DROPPINGS UNDER THE CUSTOMER SERVICE COUNTER ON THE LOWER SHELVES AND ABOUT 20 RODENT DROPPINGS ON THE LOWER SHELF OF THE PREP TABLE THAT IS LOCATED BY THE SMOOTHIE PREP COOLER.

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.

In plain English
Dishes, equipment, or surfaces that touch food were not properly washed, rinsed, and sanitized, or sanitizer was not at the right strength. Clean surfaces help stop germs from spreading to food.
