Food handlers lacked required training and hair restraints; grease and food debris accumulated throughout kitchen.

Key Findings

  • Food handlers worked without hair nets or beard guards as required.
  • Grease and food debris accumulated on prep tables, cooking equipment, and all refrigerator door handles.
