Not in Compliance: Ensure hand washing basin is unobstructed and accessible for hand washing

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.
Not in Compliance: Protect food from contamination and adulteration
