Violations Cited

⚠ MAJOR 590.005/5-202.12-PF

Handwashing Sinks Installation (Pf)

The hot water at the hand sink behind the counter was not working. Owner stated that he contacted a licensed plumber to repair the hot water. There is another 3 bay sink behind the counter that the hot water is working.

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.

Mass. Code: 105 CMR 590.005 | FDA Code: Section 5
