Pier 50 in Folsom underwent a routine health inspection on July 28. The inspection revealed several health code violations in the restaurant, which resulted in it receiving a yellow placard.
One of the first major violations cited was employees preparing food without washing their hands. Washing hands before food prep is a requirement to prevent cross-contamination.
Inspectors also flagged improper storage of temperature-sensitive foods. Items such as bulgogi, salmon, chicken, mackerel, and beef were found stored at 62°F, well above the safe limit for perishable foods. Additional violations included fish stored at 48°F in the walk-in fridge and batter kept at 49°F.
Inspectors also observed employees washing their hands in a food prep sink, rather than in a designated handwashing sink. Employees should wash their hands only in a designated handwash sink and not in any other sink.
A detailed health report of Pier 50’s latest inspection is available online.
Follow-Up Inspection
The inspection resulted in the restaurant receiving a yellow placard. It means that a reinspection will be done within 24-72 hours from the time of this inspection. The management needs to correct all the major violations before the follow-up inspection to receive a green placard.
The health department enforces food safety regulations to protect public health and prevent potential risks.
