Key Findings

  • About 20 mouse droppings discovered in storage room. Pest control service recommended to eliminate rodent activity.
  • Refrigerator and multiple cold-holding units storing chicken, yogurt, and cheese sticks were too warm (50.6°F–54.9°F instead of required 41°F or below). Manager discarded and destroyed $30 worth of food.
