Inspector’s notes
Observed multiple employees using hand sinks to fill containers of water due to the three compartment sinks being blocked by soiled wares; hand sinks should only be used for hand washing retrain staff.

Controlling Pests (Pf)
Inspector’s notes
Observed small dark rodent droppings on the outside of an opened bulk bag of rice; clean and sanitize the hallway leading to the outside of rodent droppings; provide the most recent pest control report and have your pest control operator perform a service before the scheduled reinspection with an IPM report that has no activity and no captures.
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.
