Recent inspections show only minor, quickly-corrected issues—dirty soda gun nozzles, an over-concentrated sanitizer solution, and missing paperwork for an employee health policy—none of which indicate active contamination, pest problems, or unsafe food temperatures. These are manageable maintenance/documentation issues rather than serious ongoing food-safety risks.
