New York City, NY - A scheduled inspection at Subway on 07/24/2025 documented several health code infractions.
The dining establishment functions from 221 East Broadway Manhattan Ny in Lower East Side, a well-trafficked section of New York City recognized for its restaurant culture.
Health department documentation states: "06d. Food contact surface not properly washed, rinsed and sanitized after each use and following any activity when contamination may have occurred. (critical: critical). 02g. Cold TCS food item held." Such infractions require correction to meet regulatory standards.
Health department officials noted violations related to temperature control, which require attention for public health compliance.
Professional food safety experts consider temperature monitoring essential for preventing foodborne illness Research conducted by federal health agencies demonstrates that Temperature abuse remains the leading cause of foodborne illness outbreaks in restaurant settings. The FDA Temperature Safety Guidelines provides comprehensive guidance for preventing such violations.
The examination revealed violations related to pest control, which need to be addressed for proper compliance.
Health experts emphasize that pest activity can rapidly contaminate food preparation surfaces and stored ingredients According to FDA Pest Control Guidelines, Federal food safety regulations require all food service establishments to maintain comprehensive pest exclusion programs. This regulatory framework ensures that food service establishments meet rigorous safety standards.
Among the findings were infractions involving sanitation, a key component of food safety protocols.
Public health authorities continually highlight the fundamental significance of comprehensive sanitation practices. Studies from public health organizations show that The FDA Food Code establishes comprehensive sanitation requirements that form the foundation of safe food service operations. The Food Safety Modernization Act offers detailed requirements for maintaining compliance.
In addition to regulatory requirements, these issues may affect the business's standing and public trust. Community health organizations track health department findings to provide education to local residents.
Health department officials will conduct a comprehensive re-inspection to ensure that all violations have been properly addressed. The establishment must demonstrate full compliance before the matter can be considered resolved.
The broader restaurant industry can learn valuable lessons from such cases, emphasizing the need for continuous vigilance to food safety standards. Consumer awareness remains a crucial component in maintaining community food safety.
