Violations Cited

⚠ MAJOR 590.005/5-203.11-PF

Handwashing Sinks-Numbers and Capacities (Pf)

PIC will need to add a hand sink to the warewashing area next to the cooking line. PIC stated that he has a sink and will get it done.

Why This Matters

CONTAMINATION CYCLE: Using handwash sink for dishes spreads grease and food particles, making hand cleaning ineffective. Staff avoid dirty sinks, reducing handwashing by 60%. Creates breeding ground for bacteria at the most critical hygiene point.

Code Requirements

STOP all non-handwashing use immediately. Handwash sinks for HANDS ONLY. Clean and sanitize sink completely. Post signage 'HANDWASHING ONLY'. Designate separate sinks for food prep and dishwashing. Retrain all staff.
