What these findings mean
Health authorities word their violations differently, so we group them by what they mean for food safety. Higher-risk findings are the ones inspectors treat as critical, because they can directly make someone sick.
Cleaning and sanitizingHigher risk
Anything that touches food, such as cutting boards, dishes and utensils, must be washed, rinsed and sanitized. Inspectors check dishwasher temperatures, sanitizer strength and how wiping cloths are stored. Poor sanitizing lets bacteria survive from one use to the next.
Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on April 7, 2026. For example:
Does the operator use approved methods for cleaning and sanitizing equipment, utensils, and surfaces?
Protecting food from contaminationHigher risk
This covers how food is stored, prepared and displayed: raw meat kept away from ready-to-eat food, food covered and stored off the floor, and nothing dripping or splashing into it. Cross-contamination from raw to cooked food is a direct route for salmonella and E. coli.
Recorded once on April 7, 2026. For example:
Is all food in this facility fit for human consumption and not unwholesome, spoiled, or adulterated?
Food temperature controlHigher risk
Bacteria multiply fastest between about 4 °C and 60 °C (40 °F to 140 °F). Inspectors check that cold food stays cold, hot food stays hot, cooked food is cooled quickly, and that staff have accurate thermometers. Temperature problems are one of the most common causes of food poisoning, so these are treated as critical findings.
Recorded once on March 26, 2026. For example:
Are food temperatures during storage and processing being controlled to maximize food safety?
Permits, records and postingLower risk
Operating permits, required signage, written procedures and logs. These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.
Recorded once on March 26, 2026. For example:
Are appropriate food handling practices and plans in place to ensure that food is handled in a manner that makes it safe to eat?

- 04. Does the operator use approved methods for cleaning and sanitizing equipment, utensils, and surfaces?
- The bleach sanitizing solution was measured at approximately 200 ppm at the time of inspection, which is stronger than required for routine sanitizing of food-contact surfaces. Sanitizer must be prepared at the proper concentration to ensure it is effective without leaving excessive chemical residue. Please ensure bleach sanitizer is mixed to the correct concentration and verified daily using appropriate test strips.
- 06. Are appropriate food handling practices and plans in place to ensure that food is handled in a manner that makes it safe to eat?
- No temperature logs were available for review at the time of inspection. Written temperature records help verify that refrigeration temperatures are being monitored consistently and provide due diligence that food is being stored safely. Please begin maintaining daily written temperature logs.
- 10. Are food temperatures during storage and processing being controlled to maximize food safety?
- No thermometer was available inside the refrigerator at the time of inspection. Refrigeration units must be equipped with an accurate thermometer to allow staff to verify that cold holding temperatures are being maintained within safe limits. Please ensure an accurate thermometer is provided in the refrigerator and maintained in good working order.
