  • Bakery prep handwashing sink was blocked by milk crates and inaccessible; soap was missing from the bakery sink and paper towels were missing from the deli sink.
  • Pre-packaged crema prepared on-site contained no allergen warning labels, and prepared foods on display lacked proper labeling with business name, address, and ingredients.
