Key Findings

• Raw chicken was stored above cooked noodles and eggplant; raw beef was stored above chopped tomatoes and lettuce, risking cross-contamination.
• Food handler was wearing gloves while washing hands at the 3-compartment sink instead of properly washing bare hands with soap and water.
• Boxes of carrots and potatoes were stored outside on a table by the back door in the rear walkway, exposing them to contamination.
• Multiple previous violations from February 2026 were not corrected, including personal food items in prep areas, missing handwashing signage, and food stored on cooler floors without proper elevation.
