ADEQUATE HANDWASHING SINKS PROPERLY SUPPLIED AND ACCESSIBLE

Inspector’s notes

NO HAND WASHING SIGNAGE AT THE HAND WASHING SINKS. INSTRUCTED TO PROVIDE AND MAINTAIN.

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

INSECTS, RODENTS, & ANIMALS NOT PRESENT

Inspector’s notes

CORRECTED. INSTRUCTED TO MAINTAIN.

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.

Inspector’s notes

TRASH/DEBRIS FOUND ON THE GROUND AROUND THE DUMPSTERS AND PUMPS. INSTRUCTED TO CLEAN AND MAINTAIN OUTSIDE AREA.
