Comments:
The purpose of this visit was to conduct a follow-up inspection. You may resume operations at the concession stand but you may not use the popcorn machine because it has not been properly cleaned. The GM agreed to not sell popcorn until another inspection is conducted. The compartment that holds popcorn kernels is soiled and dirty water is dripping from above and may contaminate popcorn. Grease accumulations were observed in top part of popcorn machine. Please call me for a follow-up when the machine is thoroughly cleaned.
