Situated at 101 NE 50TH ST , the establishment is part of University District's active food service sector. The University District area undergoes regular health inspections as part of the city's comprehensive food safety monitoring program.
The inspection identified 2 distinct violations requiring correction. Each violation has established correction procedures that must be followed to achieve compliance.
The first violation related to cleaning procedures. Inspectors documented: 4300 - Non-food contact surfaces maintained and clean. 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. Biofilms can form on inadequately cleaned surfaces, protecting bacteria from sanitizers.
The second violation concerned food temperatures. Inspectors documented: 1720 - Proper hot holding temperatures; between 130 degrees F to 134 degrees F. 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 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.
