Violations Cited

⚠ MAJOR 590.005/5-202.12-PF

Handwashing Sinks Installation (Pf)

Handsink next to ice machine lacking proper velocity and temperture for effective handwashing. Make all necessary repairs to improve pressure and maintain water temperature.

Why This Matters

WITHOUT HOT WATER: Bacteria removal drops by 75%. Studies show proper handwashing with hot water and soap removes 99.9% of bacteria, while cold water only removes 25%. This dramatically increases risk of spreading E. coli, Salmonella, and Norovirus - responsible for 89% of foodborne illness outbreaks.

Code Requirements

Immediate action required: Provide hot water (100-120°F) at ALL handwashing sinks. Install water heater if needed. Temporary solution: heat water for handwashing until repairs complete. Staff must wash hands every 30 minutes, after touching face/hair, handling raw foods, using restroom.
