Organico is a fast-fine restaurant with multiple outlets and some more in the pipeline. It promotes sustainability and healthy eating through organic ingredients. The restaurant aims to revolutionize the culture of additives in food to support organic and regenerative farmers.
However, in a recent health inspection, the restaurant was found violating the California Health and Safety Code. The inspectors observed insects and rodents within the facility. The equipment and utensils used at the facility were not in good repair and needed cleaning.
Inspectors noted that the floors, walls, and ceilings at the restaurant had damage in a few places, and dust had accumulated along the perimeters. The inspector also instructed the staff to store food separately, with proper labels to prevent contamination.
Vermin infestation is one of the major violations that poses a risk to public health; therefore, the inspecting officials ordered the restaurant to be temporarily closed. Before a re-inspection occurs, the restaurant is expected to eliminate all the violations.
