03/26/2015InspectionViolations to be corrected by 4/10/15. Submit email correspondence via email with list of corrective actions taken to correct violations, or with any questions. Floor repair must be completed by Fall 2015. Currently salad dressings are stored in metal rack behind deli prep cooler. Temperatures of the dressings were acceptable at time of inspection (<45*F). However there is a high possibility that these dressings will not remain acceptable as service time moves on. Highly suggest storing dressing in a more suitable cold holding location. Currently there is no mop sink located on site. Staff is unsure of where dirty mop water is discarded, as cleaning crew is contracted to clean facility at night. Dirty mop water must be discarded in a approved waste sink. Note: Bare hand contact with condiments added to drinks is prohibited. You must be sure staff understands this and uses a barrier with drink fruits at all times, including when cutting fruits.
