      During inspection a staff member was observed exiting the restroom immediate observation of handsinks - one was completely dry in basin; the other was dry except for a small ring of water around drain opening - please review with employees the importance and requirements of proper handwashing.

      A splash guard will need to be placed around the handsink in the kitchen area by the 3-bay sink, otherwise the order for wash will need to sit at the left side- currently the clean ware/air-dry area is by the handwash sink.

      Labeling on Mi Costenia dried shrimp states ingredient: Shrimp. But then has the statement "may or may not contain sodium Bi sulfite" - I will check as to whether this meets proper labeling requirements.
    • Handling of ready-to-eat foods (No direct bare hand contact with ready-to-eat foods 3-301.11, p 59)
      At the bread area no hand sink was installed, therefore no bare hand contact of RTE foods will be allowed in this area - proper handwashing and use of deli gloves, tongs, deli tissues, ect.. will be required.
