The inspection identified 4 distinct violations requiring correction. Each violation has established correction procedures that must be followed to achieve compliance.
The first violation concerned hand sanitation. Inspectors documented: Wiping Cloths Use Limitation (C).

The second violation related to thermal management. Inspectors documented: (A)(1) 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 third violation concerned food safety requirements. Inspectors documented: Ventilation Hood Systems Filters (C). Regulatory standards exist to minimize health risks to consumers.
The fourth violation involved food safety requirements. Inspectors documented: Cutting Surfaces (C). Non-compliance with safety standards may create conditions that compromise food safety.
