1. HIRE licensed pest control operator for flies and PROVIDE pest control service report to Inspector. -Observed fly activity in the room that connects to the cash register area.

Raw chicken drips contaminate everything below with Salmonella and Campylobacter. Cross-contamination causes massive outbreaks affecting hundreds.

1.

Dirty cutting boards and utensils cause 76% of cross-contamination. Biofilms protect bacteria from cleaning. One contaminated surface spreads pathogens to dozens of foods.
