Violations Cited
590.005/5-202.12-PF
Handwashing Sinks Installation (Pf)
No water on truck during time of inspection. PIC stated the tank was filled but no water was coming out of sinks. Spoke to assistant commissioner Dan Prendergast via phone. Allowed truck to use temporary hand for event but not vend until the truck has been repaired.
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.
