About 35 pounds of food, valued at $413, was discarded. A three-door cooler was not keeping food cold enough and was tagged by inspectors.

Other significant violations included no probe thermometer available to check food temperatures, fly activity throughout the facility, and a rear handwashing sink that was filled with black water and unable to drain. Inspectors also found frozen food thawing in a sink without running water, a leaking front handwashing sink, a food handler without a hair restraint, rusty food prep tables, dirty cooler, freezer, hot-holding, sink, cooking, and ventilation surfaces, and damaged or dusty ceiling tiles.

Inspectors also noted that several previously cited issues had not been corrected, including missing handwashing signs, unlabeled dry ingredient containers, an open front door, a cooler door that would not stay closed, dirty floors and equipment, and missing food handler certificates. No allergen training certificate was available on site. A citation was issued for the uncorrected previous violations.
