2 recorded violations

majorCode MN Rule 4626.0442BFood temperature

Official Wording

The consumer advisory disclosure must include either: • A description of the food as raw or undercooked • An asterisk to a footnote describing the food as raw or undercooked

Inspector’s Notes

Establishment had a consumer advisory warning posted for sushi items sold at the grab-and-go station; however, the disclosure portion was missing, and raw or undercooked ingredients were not properly identified. Informed the manager on duty that their consumer advisory must clearly mark all sushi items and any other menu items containing raw or undercooked ingredients with an asterisk and include both the required disclosure and reminder statements as part of the consumer advisory.

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.

minorCode MN Rule 4626.0955AContamination

Official Wording

Store all clean equipment, utensils, linens, in a clean dry location where not exposed to splash, dust, or other contamination and at least six inches above the floor.

Inspector’s Notes

Observed that a couple of handwashing sinks in the establishment did not have splash guards installed, and clean equipment and utensils were being stored adjacent to the sinks where they were subject to potential splash contamination. Informed the manager on duty that they must either install splash guards on these sinks or discontinue storing clean equipment and utensils in this location.

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.
