The recent inspections mainly cite paperwork issues—missing employee health policy documentation and a food worker card not on hand—plus a temporarily malfunctioning soap dispenser that was immediately addressed by using another sink. There are no signs of contaminated food, pest problems, or improper temperature control, so the risk to diners appears low.

Food employees must report the following: Symptoms: Vomiting, diarrhea, sore throat with fever, open cuts or infected wounds, jaundice. Diagnosed Illnesses: If they (or a household member) have been diagnosed with Norovirus, Typhoid Fever, Shigellosis, E. coli O157:H7 (or other STEC infections), or Hepatitis A.
