Using a Handwashing Sink-Operation and Maintenance (Pf)
Inspector’s Notes
Observed a red sanitzer bucket stored in the basin of a handwashing sink; hand sinks shall only be used for hand washing only.
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.
Removing Dead or Trapped Birds Insects Rodents and other Pest (C)
Inspector’s Notes
In the plumbing closet observed a deceased trapped mouse on a glue trap but did not observe any pest activity in the restaurant; check monitoring devices with more frequency and remove trapped pests as needed.
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.
