Inspector’s Notes
6-301.14 OBSERVED NO HAND WASHING SIGN IN THE EMPLOYEE TOILET ROOM. INSTRUCTED TO PROVIDE.
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.
6-501.114 OBSERVED CLUTTER IN THE REAR TOILET ROOMS, REAR STORAGE AREA AND FRONT CUSTOMER COUNTER. INSTRUCTED TO ELIMINATE CLUTTER, ORGANIZE AND ELEVATE EVERYTHING AT LEAST 6 INCHES FROM THE GROUND.
In Plain English
Dishes, equipment, or surfaces that touch food were not properly washed, rinsed, and sanitized, or sanitizer was not at the right strength. Clean surfaces help stop germs from spreading to food.
6-202.15 OBSERVED FRONT ENTRANCE DOOR WITH A ONE INCH GAP BETWEEN DOORS. INSTRUCTED TO MAKE SAID DOOR TIGHT FITTING AND RODENT PROOFED.
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.

In Plain English
Dishes, equipment, or surfaces that touch food were not properly washed, rinsed, and sanitized, or sanitizer was not at the right strength. Clean surfaces help stop germs from spreading to food.
