FOOD SEPARATED AND PROTECTED
Why This Matters
Raw chicken drips contaminate everything below with Salmonella and Campylobacter. Cross-contamination causes massive outbreaks affecting hundreds.

Observed raw fish stored above ready-to-eat wasabi inside the undercounter cooler at the back of the bar. Cease storing raw meats/eggs above ready-to-eat foods.

FOOD CONTACT SURFACES: CLEAN AND SANITIZED
Why This Matters
Dirty cutting boards and utensils cause 76% of cross-contamination. Biofilms protect bacteria from cleaning. One contaminated surface spreads pathogens to dozens of foods.
What Was Observed
Observed an inoperable dishwash machine in the kitchen. Repair, or review the instruction manual, to make the dishwash machine operable again. 114117, 114125(b), 114141
