Why This Matters

EXTREME CONTAMINATION RISK: Shoes carry 421,000+ bacteria including E. coli (96% of shoes), C. diff (39% of shoes), and other fecal bacteria. Direct contact with food areas transfers these pathogens immediately. Studies show shoes track in more bacteria than toilet seats.

Code Requirements

Remove ALL personal items from food areas IMMEDIATELY. Establish designated storage: employee lockers/areas completely separate from food; at least 6 feet from any food prep; in separate room if possible. This is a CRITICAL violation requiring immediate correction.
