minorCode MN Rule 4626.1457Handwashing

Official Wording

Post a sign at all handwashing sinks used by employees to remind them to wash their hands.

Inspector’s Notes

Observed no sign at hand washing sink. Ensure signs are posted.

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.

Official Wording

Have a thin-tipped food thermometer easily available to measure the internal temperature of thin pieces of food.

Inspector’s Notes

Observed no thin-tipped food thermometer. Ensure one is obtained to measure the internal temperature of thin food.

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.
