An employee health agreement form was not provided for a selected employee as required. In another observation, an employee was seen drinking from a water bottle and a coffee cup while in the food preparation area.
The inspectors pointed out that employees shall consume food and drink only in approved designated areas separate from food preparation and serving areas, equipment or utensil areas, and food storage areas. Inspectors also noted that an open box of raw bacon was stored above cooked black beans and raw beef was stored above mayonnaise in the reach-in cooler.
Raw bacon was stored behind queso and lettuce in the preparation cooler. The inspection cited improper food storage that could lead to cross-contamination. In a corrective action, the food was removed from the cooler.
The report mentioned that an employee was observed washing equipment and then resuming empanada preparation without changing gloves. As a result, the food was discarded.
