The inspection identified 8 distinct violations requiring correction. Each violation has established correction procedures that must be followed to achieve compliance.

The first violation involved supervisory requirements. Inspectors documented: (A) Certified Food Protection Manager (C). The FDA Food Code mandates that at least one employee with supervisory responsibility be a certified food protection manager to ensure active managerial control. For more information, see FDA certified food protection manager requirements. Lack of knowledge about allergen management can result in allergic reactions.

The second violation involved food storage. Inspectors documented: Food Storage Containers Identified with Common Name of Food (C). Storing food at incorrect temperatures accelerates spoilage and pathogen growth.

The third violation concerned thermal management. Inspectors documented: (A)(2) and (B) Time/Temperature Control for Safety Food Hot and Cold Holding (P). The FDA Food Code requires cold foods to be held at 41°F or below and hot foods at 135°F or above to prevent bacterial growth in the "danger zone." For more information, see FDA guidelines on temperature control. Pathogens like Staphylococcus aureus can produce toxins in improperly stored food that are not destroyed by reheating.

The fourth violation involved sanitation and cleanliness. Inspectors documented: Food-Contact Surfaces-Cleanability (Pf). 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. Inadequate sanitization allows bacteria to survive and multiply on food contact surfaces.

The fifth violation concerned food safety requirements. Inspectors documented: Nonfood-Contact Surfaces (C). Health code violations require correction to maintain safe operating conditions.

The sixth violation concerned food safety requirements. Inspectors documented: Nonfood-Contact Surfaces (C). Violations of health codes can increase the risk of foodborne illness.

The seventh violation related to sanitation and cleanliness. Inspectors documented: Sanitizing Solutions Testing Devices (Pf). 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. Allergen cross-contact can occur when surfaces are not properly cleaned between uses.

The eighth violation related to food safety requirements. Inspectors documented: System Maintained in Good Repair (C). Regulatory standards exist to minimize health risks to consumers.

The correction of health violations is monitored through follow-up inspections and documentation requirements. Establishments must demonstrate that they have addressed the root causes of violations, not just the immediate symptoms.
