Official wording
In-Use Utensils Between-Use Storage (C)
Inspector’s notes
In bulk containers observed small cups without handles used to scoop foods from bulk; provide scoops with handles and stop using handleless cups as scoops to prevent contamination by hands.
In plain English
Equipment, utensils, thermometers, cutting boards, or single-use items were not in good condition, not the right type, or not stored properly.
No food thermometer was able to be presented during the inspection; provide a thin stemmed food thermometer capable of measuring hot and cold foods.
In plain English
Food was not kept cold enough, hot enough, cooled fast enough, or cooked or reheated to the right temperature. Bacteria grow quickly in the "danger zone" between 41°F and 135°F, which makes this one of the most important food-safety checks.
The automatic faucet at the handwashing sink in the restroom does not turn on; the person in charge indicated that a repair order had been placed to repair the sink; handwashing sinks should be operational at all times and dispense water of at least 100F. The only other handwashing sink on premise is in the food prep area and it is fully stocked and operational.
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.
