1. PROVIDE pest control service report for rodents and cockroaches dated on/after September 24, 2025. -Observed a couple of dead cockroaches in the following areas: underneath the front service area in a hard to reach area adjacent to the soda machine, on two sticky traps in the back area where the full onions are stored, and against the wall where the swinging door to the kitchen is located (where cockroach feces was observed) and old rodent droppings underneath the onions container in the back

-Observed hot holding equipment was not maintaining chili with meat at 135F or above; measured temperature was 125F. Per Person in Charge, hot holding equipment is used to reheat the chili. Corrected on site - Education provided. Chili was immediately placed on the grill for reheating to 165F before being transferred to the hot holding equipment.

Without hot water, dishes cannot be sanitized and hands cannot be properly washed. Allows survival of viruses and bacteria that cause foodborne illness.

-Observed the food preparation sink, mop sink, and three compartment sink's maximum hot water temperature is 115F.

1. ALWAYS wash fruits and vegetables thoroughly before cutting and or preparing. -Observed sliced onions and bell peppers being held in a container next to the grill. Per Person in Charge, the onions are not washed before sliced and bell peppers are sliced before washed.

Improper storage allows pest access and temperature abuse. Food on floor contacts contaminated water during cleaning. Expired foods cause illness.

1. IMMEDIATELY discontinue use of this container. -Observed onions stored in a container that appears to have many particles at the bottom of the container and has what appears to be gnaw marks on the container.

Dirty surfaces harbor pests and serve as bacteria reservoirs. Accumulated grease and food debris attract cockroaches and rodents.

-Observed the shelving underneath the front service area appears unclean.

Without sanitizer, wiping cloths become bacteria breeding grounds. One contaminated cloth can spread pathogens to every surface it touches.

1. PROVIDE a 1-inch air gap on all piping/tubing to floor sink to prevent backflow. -Observed a lack of an air gap in the red tubing by the ice machine.
