West Loop

Jan 10, 2025 — Canvass inspection

Conditional

A routine, unannounced visit by a city health inspector.

No certified food manager on duty while handling ready-to-eat foods like sandwiches and soups.

Key Findings

  • No person in charge holds a valid Chicago Food Sanitation Certificate.
  • No certified food manager was present while preparing, handling, and serving temperature-controlled foods including deli sandwiches and soups—a violation that must be corrected immediately.
  • Milk crates are being used as shelving in prep and storage areas instead of proper shelving positioned 6 inches off the floor, preventing adequate facility cleaning.
  • A previous violation from February 2024 remains uncorrected: the food service sanitation manager lacks required food allergen training certification.

Key findings are derived directly from the inspector's notes from the Chicago Department of Public Health. See the full violation notes below.
