The business must employ at least one valid Minnesota Food Protection Manager's certification (CFPM). Find more information on the Minnesota Department of Health web page.
Inspector’s Notes
Observed that the establishment still does not have a Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) Certified Food Protection Manager (CFPM) onsite. Informed the manager on duty that an MDH-certified CFPM must be hired as soon as possible, and if this issue remains to be a continued, unabated violation it will result in a minimum citation of $200 in accordance with City policy.
In Plain English
A required permit, food safety certificate, trained manager, or posted sign was missing or not current. These show the business is following the rules and has trained staff.

Handwashing sinks must be located in close proximity to: • Food and beverage preparation areas • Food and beverage service areas • Warewashing areas • Toilet rooms
Inspector’s Notes
Observed that the establishment has expanded its food preparation areas beyond the original layout the City Health Dept approved, where the existing handwash sink was previously close and conveniently accessible in accordance with health code requirements. Informed the manager on duty that they must either rearrange equipment so all food preparation tables and counters are within approximately 15–17 feet of the existing handwash sink, or install an additional handwash sink in the front preparation area. If the establishment chooses to add a new sink, they must submit the required food plan and plumbing permit applications and obtain approval for both before installation.
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.
