Improper Maintenance of Floors

Clean floor under three bay sink of visible water build you and grime.

Why This Matters

CONTAMINATION RESERVOIR: Damaged floors harbor bacteria in cracks. Standing water breeds Listeria, Pseudomonas. Broken tiles create pest harborage. Floor contamination spreads via shoes, equipment wheels, and dropped items. CDC found floor drains positive for Listeria in 40% of retail delis.

Improper Maintenance of Walls/Ceilings

Hood sticker expired at the end of Sept. 2015. Have hood cleaned and inspected. Have hood sticker replaced and be sure that the company is punching hole in the sticker and not using a pen/marker.
