MAJOR
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
Dish machine did not dispense any detectable levels of chlorine. Have it repaired to properly dispense ~50 ppm of chlorine. Sanitize manually in the 3-cp sink until properly repaired.

MAJOR
Food Storage; Food Storage Containers Identified
Why This Matters
Improper storage allows pest access and temperature abuse. Food on floor contacts contaminated water during cleaning. Expired foods cause illness.
What Was Observed
Discontinue outdoor prep immediately and always store PHFs indoors and in a fridge when not being prepared.
