ROXBURY, MA - Health department officials identified compliance issues at Fuji at Ink Block in an inspection dated 08/11/2025.
The facility operates from 350 HARRISON AV in Roxbury, an area known for its diverse dining options. Health inspections in this district help ensure consistent food safety standards.
The inspection identified 6 distinct violations requiring correction. These findings represent specific conditions observed during the inspection that must be addressed to meet health code requirements.
The first violation related to food safety requirements. Inspectors documented: Effectiveness-Hair Restraints (C). Non-compliance with safety standards may create conditions that compromise food safety.
The second violation related to food safety requirements. Inspectors documented: Thawing (C). Non-compliance with safety standards may create conditions that compromise food safety.
The third violation concerned food temperatures. Inspectors documented: Ready-To-Eat Time/Temperature Control for Safety Food Date Marking (Pf). 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. Time-temperature abuse allows harmful bacteria to multiply to levels that can cause illness.
The fourth violation concerned food safety requirements. Inspectors documented: Ventilation Hood Systems Filters (C). Violations of health codes can increase the risk of foodborne illness.
The fifth violation involved food safety requirements. Inspectors documented: Nonfood Contact Surfaces (C). Violations of health codes can increase the risk of foodborne illness.
The sixth violation involved handwashing procedures. Inspectors documented: Using a Handwashing Sink-Operation and Maintenance (Pf). 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. Fecal-oral transmission of pathogens occurs when hands are not properly washed after restroom use.
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.
