The Produce Exchange

Official wording

Food businesses must have handwashing sinks with a water temperature of: • At least 100 degrees F • Not hotter than 130 degrees F • If children use the sink, the water temperature must not be hotter than 120 degrees F

Inspector’s notes

Observed handwashing sink at 67F. Ensure hand washing sinks are between 100F - 130F at all times. PIC stated the repair is on the way. No food preparation on site at this time.

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.
