Located at 5 BLOSSOM ST in the Beacon Hill area, the establishment serves the local community. The Beacon Hill neighborhood maintains numerous food service establishments that undergo regular health monitoring.
The inspection identified 4 distinct violations requiring correction. Health inspectors document such issues to ensure establishments take corrective action promptly.
The first violation involved food safety requirements. Inspectors documented: System Maintained in Good Repair (P). Non-compliance with safety standards may create conditions that compromise food safety.

According to FDA guidelines, proper handwashing with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds is the single most effective way to prevent foodborne illness transmission.

According to FDA guidelines, proper handwashing with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds is the single most effective way to prevent foodborne illness transmission. For more information, see FDA handwashing requirements. Inadequate handwashing can transmit Norovirus, Hepatitis A, and other pathogens directly to food.
The fourth violation involved cleaning procedures. Inspectors documented: Cleaning of Plumbing Fixtures (C). FDA sanitation guidelines require regular cleaning and sanitizing of all food contact surfaces to prevent cross-contamination and bacterial growth. For more information, see FDA sanitation standards. Biofilms can form on inadequately cleaned surfaces, protecting bacteria from sanitizers.
