The only issue found was a reminder to use the handwashing station properly before handling food, noted at a single opening inspection with no evidence of repeated violations, contamination, pests, or temperature abuse. This is a correctable practice issue rather than an ongoing food-safety hazard, so it's reasonable to eat here.
Effective handwashing is essential for minimizing the likelihood of the hands becoming a vehicle of cross contamination. It is important that handwashing be done only at a properly equipped handwashing facility in order to help ensure that food employees effectively clean their hands. Handwashing sinks are to be conveniently located, always accessible for handwashing, maintained so they provide proper water temperatures and pressure, and equipped with suitable hand cleansers, nail brushes, and disposable towels and waste containers, or hand dryers. It is inappropriate to wash hands in a food preparation sink since this may result in avoidable contamination of the sink and the food prepared therein. **ENSURE THAT HANDWASHING STATION IS USED AT THE FOOD ESTABLISHMENT BEFORE HANDLING FOOD OR FOOD EQUIPMENT AFTER HANDS HAVE BEEN CONTAMINATED.
