Violations Cited
31-5-204/05.11
Location Accessible
In the absence of the chef the kitchen staff are utilizing the hand sink in the center of the left kitchen area as a dump sink. The sink was partially clogged with food particles. The sink is for hand washing only and is not to be utilized as a dump station.
Why This Matters
FORCED NON-COMPLIANCE: Blocked sinks force employees to skip handwashing. Studies show 89% compliance when sinks accessible vs 35% when blocked. Each skipped handwash potentially contaminates multiple food items. Inaccessible sinks contributed to Hepatitis A outbreak affecting 660 people.
Code Requirements
Handwashing sinks must be: Accessible at ALL times; Used ONLY for handwashing; Located within 25 feet of food prep; Clear of all equipment and supplies; Never used for food prep, dishwashing, or chemical disposal; Minimum one sink per 5 workers during peak times.
Corrective Actions
Clear ALL handwashing sinks immediately; Post 'Handwashing Only' signs; Relocate any blocking equipment; Provide alternative sinks for other uses; Train staff on sink designation; Monitor hourly for compliance

Inadequate Facilities/Cooling Methods
Four decorative bowls containing pasta tomatoes zucchini and carrots were observed in a cold holding well within the "pasta area." The bowls are set in the center and above the rim of the well. The food product within the bowls were between 40 and 45 degrees F at the start of the inspection. The cold holding well was observed to be operating properly. As configured the unit cannot maintain the product within the bowls at an internal temperature of 41 degrees F or below. The bowls must be replaced with properly fitting pans or other containers to provide proper cold holding.

Pre-Flushed Scrapped Soaked
The inspection was completed on a Wednesday. Soiled dishes utensils and equipment from the previous day (Tuesday) was observed within a walk-in refrigerator. The equipment had been properly marked (blue/dairy) and should have been washed and cleaned in the blue/dairy kitchen the day/evening before. It is BISD's understanding that the soiled dishes utensils and equipment were not washed because of religious observance but because of lack of proper staffing. If this is in fact the case the establishment must provide sufficient staffing to address the issue.

Improper Maintenance of Floors

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.
Code Requirements
