Official wording
When utensils are stored in food, keep the handles stored above the level of the food to prevent contamination.
Inspector’s notes
Scoops were observed stored in multiple containers of protein powder at the shake bar area with handles buried in the powder at the time of inspection. Discussed with the Person In Charge that handles that are left in bulk product must be stored with the handle extended outside of the food so that it does not contaminate the product. Retrain staff to store scoops with handles out of the food product.
In plain English
Food was stored or handled in a way that could let germs or other material get into it, such as raw meat stored above ready-to-eat food or uncovered food. Cross-contamination is a common cause of foodborne illness.

Inspector’s notes
Blue spirulina was observed being used in smoothie drinks at the time of inspection. After reviewing the label of this product, it was determined that it is a supplement and not a food ingredient. Supplements are not allowed to be used in food when sold in a retail setting. Discontinue using supplements in food when sold at retail. Remove all items that are supplements from the facility so they are not used in foods. Contact inspector with questions on additives.
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.
