The facility did not provide verifiable documentation that employees are aware of their responsibility to report foodborne illnesses.
An employee was found drinking from an unapproved container (multi-use cup) in the coffee roasters area during the inspection. It was observed that the utensils in the chlorine sanitizer measured less than 50 ppm.
Inspectors noted Clorox wipes stored above single-use containers. The inspectors found four wet, soiled cloth towels on prep counters, not stored in sanitizer solution.
