New York City, NY - A health department inspection at Mistura Peruana Restaurant on 08/04/2025 revealed multiple health code violations.
The dining establishment functions from 84-23 Jamaica Avenue Queens Ny in Jamaica, a well-trafficked section of New York City recognized for its restaurant culture.
Health department documentation states: "06c. Food, supplies, or equipment not protected from potential source of contamination during storage, preparation, transportation, display, service or from customer’s refillable, reusable container." Such infractions require correction to meet regulatory standards.
Among the findings were infractions involving hand washing, a key component of food safety protocols.
Industry experts consistently emphasize the critical importance of proper hand washing protocols. The Chicago Health Department Requirements clearly states that Federal guidelines require food service workers to wash hands for a minimum of 20 seconds using soap and warm water.
Health department officials noted violations related to pest control, which require attention for public health compliance.
Restaurant industry studies show that pest-related violations often correlate with other sanitation deficiencies Research conducted by federal health agencies demonstrates that The FDA Food Code mandates that food storage areas remain free from pest contamination at all times. The FDA Food Code Standards provides comprehensive guidance for preventing such violations.
