What these findings mean

• Protecting food from contaminationHigher risk

  This covers how food and supplies are stored and handled: kept covered, off the floor, and away from anything that could contaminate them. Where food is served, raw meat must be kept away from ready-to-eat food, a direct route for salmonella and E. coli.

  Recorded once on November 27, 2025. For example: The water source is constructed and maintained to prevent surface water and contaminants from entering the drinking water.
