3 recorded violations

majorCode 3-603.11 Consumption of Animal Foods that are RawFood temperature

Official wording

Consumer advisory provided for raw/ undercooked foods

Inspector’s notes

3-603.11 Consumption of Animal Foods that are Raw; Undercooked; or Not Otherwise Processed to Eliminate Pathogens (Pf); Consumer advisory had a proper reminder; but did not have a disclosure statement that shows customers that marked foods may be cooked to order. This is required as a part of the consumer advisory. VE- EHS returning in 10 days to ensure consumer advisory has been edited.

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.

Toxic substances properly identified stored & used

Inspector’s notes

7-102.11 Common Name - Working Containers (Pf); Two bottles of disinfectant were not properly labeled (one bottle was labeled as sanitizer and the other had no label). Poisonous or toxic materials shall be labeled with their common name. CDI- Bottles were labeled during the inspection. 7-201.11 Separation - Storage (P); Bottle of butane was being stored above a prep top unit. Poisonous or toxic materials shall be stored in an area that prevents potential contamination of food or clean equipment. CDI- Butane was relocated.

In plain English

Cleaning products, pesticides, or other chemicals were stored or labeled in a way that could let them get into food. This is serious because chemical contamination can make people sick quickly.

notedCode 6-501.111 Controlling Pests (Pf)Pests

Official wording

Insects & rodents not present; no unauthorized animals

Inspector’s notes

6-501.111 Controlling Pests (Pf); Several live flies were observed in the kitchen area. The premises shall be maintained free of insects and other pests. EHS recommends increased pest control for warmer months.

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.
