RY or Ruyi Noodles is a noodle house in San Diego that serves its diners with an appetizing menu consisting of different types of noodles, starters, and beverages. People love to visit the restaurant for its simple setup.
The Department of Environmental Health and Quality conducted its routine health inspection at the food outlets on El Cajon Blvd. During the inspection, it was revealed that operative procedures at Ruyi Noodles do not comply with the food safety code.
The major violation observed during the inspection was vermin infestation. There was the presence of rodents and insects inside the premises, as noticed by the inspecting officer. They have the potential to contaminate food and food contact surfaces. So, the officer educated the staff to ensure no entry of pets or live animals within the food facility.
The inspecting officer also noticed that the good retail practices were not being followed at the restaurant. An open window was not covered by a screen, and the employee’s medication was improperly stored in the food preparation area.
The facility needs to be clean, free of litter, and vermin-proof. Also, personal and cleaning items need to be stored separately in a manner approved by the compliance standards.
As the violations observed could lead to imminent hazards, the inspecting officials ordered the restaurant to close temporarily and fix all the violations. Once it is done and the restaurant passes the reinspection, it will reopen to serve the customers.
